<sheetProtection> (Sheet Protection Options)

This collection expresses the sheet protection options to enforce when the sheet is protected.

example:

This example demonstrates that the sheet is protected, objects and scenarios may be edited, and 

<sheetProtection sheet="1" objects="1" scenarios="1" formatCells="0"
  selectLockedCells="1"/>

<deleteColumns> (Delete Columns Locked)

Deleting columns is locked when the sheet is protected.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.

<deleteRows> (Delete Rows Locked)

Deleting rows is locked when the sheet is protected.

<formatColumns> (Format Columns Locked)

Formatting columns is locked when the sheet is protected.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.

<formatRows> (Format Rows Locked)

Formatting rows is locked when the sheet is protected.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.

<insertColumns> (Insert Columns Locked)

Inserting columns is locked when the sheet is protected.

<insertHyperlinks> (Insert Hyperlinks Locked)

Inserting hyperlinks is locked when the sheet is protected.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.

<objects> (Objects Locked)

Objects are locked when the sheet is protected.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.

<password> (Password)

Specifies the hash of the password required for editing this worksheet. This protection is optional and may be ignored by applications that choose not to support this functionality. The hash is generated from an 8-bit wide character. 16-bit Unicode characters must be converted down to 8 bits before the hash is computed, using the logic defined in the @revisionsPassword attribute of §3.2.29.

The resulting value is hashed using the algorithm defined below.

Note: 
// Function Input:
//    szPassword: NULL terminated C-Style string
//    cchPassword: The number of characters in szPassword (not including the NULL terminator)
WORD GetPasswordHash(const CHAR *szPassword, int cchPassword) {
      WORD wPasswordHash;
      const CHAR *pch;
 
      wPasswordHash = 0;
 
      if (cchPassword > 0)
            {
            pch = &szPassword[cchPassword];
            while (pch-- != szPassword)
                  {
                  wPasswordHash = ((wPasswordHash >> 14) & 0x01) | ((wPasswordHash << 1) & 0x7fff);
                  wPasswordHash ^= *pch;
                  }
            wPasswordHash ^= (0x8000 | ('N' << 8) | 'K');
            }
      
      return(wPasswordHash);
}

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_UnsignedShortHex simple type (§3.18.87).
