Protect a Sheet

If you enable "Protect Sheet" for a sheet in Excel (e.g. click Zss-essentials-protection-excel-icon.png of menu "Review" in Excel 2007), Spreadsheet can read the setting and prevent you from editing the protected sheet. Spreadsheet's API also allow you to enable / disable protection and get protection status of a sheet. Let's use a simple example to demonstrate the usage:

Zss-essentials-protection.png

The screenshot above is a simple application. There is a label showing current sheet's protection status. The true means the sheet is under protection and cannot be edited. The only one button can toggle protection status of current selected sheet.
