Operation Modes

Operation modes control how your customers can interact with Spread. For example, you can make Spread read-only or have it act as a list box.

You can specify the following modes to provide the interaction you need:

Mode Description
Normal Acts as a normal spreadsheet.
Read Only Does not allow any editing in the entire spreadsheet.
Row Clicking the mouse highlights the entire row. Double-clicking activates the desired cell.
Single Selection Highlights the entire row, and prevents the user from editing data, similar to a single-selection list box.
Multiple Selection Operates similarly to a multiple-selection list box.
Extended Selection Operates similarly to an extended-selection list box.


The Single Selection mode highlights the entire selected row and does not allow the user to edit the data.
