## Examples


```cpp
Aspose::Cells::Startup();
//Instantiating a Workbook object
Workbook workbook;

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.GetWorksheets().Get(0);
//Allowing users to select locked cells of the worksheet
worksheet.GetProtection().SetAllowSelectingLockedCell(true);
//Allowing users to select unlocked cells of the worksheet
worksheet.GetProtection().SetAllowSelectingUnlockedCell(true);
