The Properties dialog allows end-users to view and edit document properties. Document properties are metadata stored with the document and contain basic information about a workbook: its title, author, file size, date of creation, etc.

Add the Info ribbon group to the SpreadsheetControl to enable the Document Properties button, which invokes the target dialog. Refer to the Create a Simple Spreadsheet Application topic for information on how to create a Ribbon UI.

The Properties dialog includes the following tabs:

General
Summary
Statistics
Custom

Tip

Use the IWorkbook.DocumentProperties property to edit standard and custom properties in code. Refer to the How to: Specify Document Properties article for an example.
