Topic: Border Excel cells with outside style

[Coder]

Hello guys,

I am trying to border Excel cells from B2 to B5 with one outside border but my code does not work for outside border.

Code: [Select]

        (setq rang (vlax-get-property Sheet "Range" "B2:B5"))
        (setq bord (vlax-get-property rang "Borders"))
        (vlax-put-property bord "Color" (vlax-make-variant -1 3))
Anyone can help ?

Thank you.

maybe you need to specify what edge?

Yes I searched the same link you shared but unfortunately I don't know how to use it with the codes.
Can you please shed some light on it?
Thank you.
