если вы хотите использовать проверку для этой цели, я написал следующий метод для добавления проверки и небольшого информационного блока, который появляется, когда пользователь нажимает на ячейку:
/// <summary>
/// Adds a small Infobox and a Validation with restriction (only these values will be selectable) to the specified cell.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="worksheet">The excel-sheet</param>
/// <param name="rowNr">1-based row index of the cell that will contain the validation</param>
/// <param name="columnNr">1-based column index of the cell that will contain the validation</param>
/// <param name="title">Title of the Infobox</param>
/// <param name="message">Message in the Infobox</param>
/// <param name="validationValues">List of available values for selection of the cell. No other value, than this list is allowed to be used.</param>
/// <exception cref="Exception">Thrown, if an error occurs, or the worksheet was null.</exception>
public static void AddDataValidation(Worksheet worksheet, int rowNr, int columnNr, string title, string message, List<string> validationValues)
{
//If the message-string is too long (more than 255 characters, prune it)
if (message.Length > 255)
message = message.Substring(0, 254);
try
{
//The validation requires a ';'-separated list of values, that goes as the restrictions-parameter.
//Fold the list, so you can add it as restriction. (Result is "Value1;Value2;Value3")
//If you use another separation-character (e.g in US) change the ; appropriately (e.g. to the ,)
string values = string.Join(";", validationValues);
//Select the specified cell
Range cell = worksheet.Cells[rowNr, columnNr];
//Delete any previous validation
cell.Validation.Delete();
//Add the validation, that only allowes selection of provided values.
cell.Validation.Add(XlDVType.xlValidateList, XlDVAlertStyle.xlValidAlertStop, XlFormatConditionOperator.xlBetween, values, Type.Missing);
cell.Validation.IgnoreBlank = true;
//Optional put a message there
cell.Validation.InputTitle = title;
cell.Validation.InputMessage = message;
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
//This part should not be reached, but is used for stability-reasons
throw new Exception(String.Format("Error when adding a Validation with restriction to the specified cell Row:{0}, Column:{1}, Message: {2}", rowNr, columnNr, message), exception);
}
}
Если вы невам не нужен информационный блок, просто не указывайте части, где появляются переменные заголовок или сообщение.
