Excel.WindowCollection class

Represents a collection of Window objects.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApiDesktop 1.1 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

items

Gets the loaded child items in this collection.

Methods

breakSideBySide()

Breaks the side-by-side view of windows.

compareCurrentSideBySideWith(windowName)

Compares the current window side by side with the specified window.

getCount()

Gets the number of windows in the collection.

getItemAt(index)

Gets the Window in the collection by index.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

resetPositionsSideBySide()

Resets the positions of windows in side-by-side view.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.WindowCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.WindowCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.
