ReoGrid provides two mechanisms for controlling worksheet behavior: WorksheetSettings (flags-based on/off settings) and WorksheetOptions (value-based configuration).
WorksheetSettings
Methods
var sheet = reoGridControl.CurrentWorksheet;
// Enable a setting
sheet.EnableSettings(WorksheetSettings.Edit_Readonly);
// Disable a setting
sheet.DisableSettings(WorksheetSettings.Edit_Readonly);
// Set with explicit boolean
sheet.SetSettings(WorksheetSettings.Edit_Readonly, true);
// Check if a setting is enabled
bool isReadonly = sheet.HasSettings(WorksheetSettings.Edit_Readonly);
Events
sheet.SettingsChanged += (s, e) =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Settings changed");
};

WorksheetOptions
The Options property provides additional configuration with value-based settings:
var options = sheet.Options;
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
FormulaCalculationTiming | enum | Auto | When to calculate formulas (Auto, OnDemand, etc.) |
FormulaCalculationPrecision | enum | Double | Precision for formula calculations |
Selection Options
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
AlwaysMoveSelectionToUnlockedCell | bool | false | Auto-move selection to unlocked cells when worksheet is locked |
AllowSelectCellWhenHitDropdownCell | bool | true | Allow cell selection when clicking a dropdown cell |
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
AutoHideHorizontalScrollBar | bool | false | Auto-hide horizontal scrollbar when not needed |
AutoHideVerticalScrollBar | bool | false | Auto-hide vertical scrollbar when not needed |
Async Processing Options
These options control asynchronous cell processing for large worksheets:
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
AutoSuspendProcessesForFasterDataLoading | bool | false | Suspend processes during bulk data loading for better performance |
AllowAsyncProcess | bool | false | Enable asynchronous cell processing |
AsyncProcessDelay | int | — | Delay before async processing starts (ms) |
AsyncProcessIntervalTime | int | — | Interval between async processing batches (ms) |
AsyncProcessBatchSize | int | — | Number of cells to process per batch |
var options = sheet.Options;
// Enable async processing for better performance with large datasets
options.AllowAsyncProcess = true;
options.AsyncProcessBatchSize = 1000;
options.AsyncProcessIntervalTime = 50;
// Suspend processes during bulk loading
options.AutoSuspendProcessesForFasterDataLoading = true;
Copy and Clone Options
// Copy options from another worksheet
sheet.Options.CopyFrom(otherSheet.Options);
// Clone options for a new worksheet
var newOptions = sheet.Options.Clone(newSheet);
Common Configuration Patterns
Read-Only Worksheet
sheet.SetSettings(WorksheetSettings.Edit_Readonly, true);
Hide All UI Chrome
sheet.SetSettings(WorksheetSettings.View_ShowRowHeader, false);
sheet.SetSettings(WorksheetSettings.View_ShowColumnHeader, false);
sheet.SetSettings(WorksheetSettings.View_ShowGuideLine, false);
Disable User Resizing
sheet.SetSettings(WorksheetSettings.Edit_AllowAdjustRowHeight, false);
sheet.SetSettings(WorksheetSettings.Edit_AllowAdjustColumnWidth, false);
sheet.SetSettings(WorksheetSettings.Behavior_DoubleClickToFitRowHeight, false);
sheet.SetSettings(WorksheetSettings.Behavior_DoubleClickToFitColumnWidth, false);
Optimize for Bulk Data Loading
sheet.Options.AutoSuspendProcessesForFasterDataLoading = true;
sheet.SuspendConditionalStyleUpdate = true;
// Load data...
sheet.SuspendConditionalStyleUpdate = false;
sheet.ApplyAllConditionalStyles();
