TXlsBaseChart.SetShapeLinkedCell Method

Links the shape to a cell, if the shape can be linked. To unlink the cell, make linkedCell null. Note that this method applies to shapes like a rectangle or a circle, not to the link of a forms object like a combobox or a radiobutton.

Syntax

Unit: FlexCel.XlsAdapter

procedure TXlsBaseChart.SetShapeLinkedCell(const objectIndex: Integer; const objectPath: string; const linkedCell: string);

Parameters

<-> Parameter Type Description
const objectIndex Integer Index of the object (1 based)
const objectPath string Index to the child object you want to change the property.
If it is a simple object, you can use String.Empty here, if not you need to get the ObjectPath from GetObjectProperties
If it is "absolute"(it starts with "\\"), then the path includes the objectIndex, and the objectIndex is not used. An object path of "\\1\\2\\3" is exactly the same as using objectIndex = 1 and objectPath = "2\\3"
const linkedCell string Cell that will be linked to the shape. To unlink the shape, make this parameter null. Note that this can be a single cell like "A3" or a name like "myName". You can't use a complex formula here like "A1&A2"
