Description
The PV SET CELL PROPERTY command sets the value of the property defined in the column and row parameters.
To define property, you can use:
• the constants of the PV Cell properties theme. In this case, pass the height or width of the cell in pixels in the value parameter.
• the constants of the PV Style properties theme. In this case, to define the value parameter, use the constants of the PV Style values, PV Style special values, PV Style format date time or PV Picture mapping mode theme.
The following list describes the different constants used in the property parameter and the associated values:

Example
Find all cells containing a formula which refers to cell D20, in order to switch between locking and unlocking them.
C_LONGINT($ProtectedCell) `To lock or unlock cells
C_LONGINT($EndColumn;$EndRow) `To save lower/right limits
C_LONGINT($StartColumn;$StartRow) `To save upper/left limits
C_LONGINT($Column;$Row) `To get coordinates in loop
ARRAY LONGINT($LeftTab;0)
ARRAY LONGINT($UpperTab;0)
ARRAY LONGINT($RightTab;0)
ARRAY LONGINT($LowerTab;0)
PV FIND ALL (Area;"$D$20";0;0) `Cells containing "$D$20"
`Selected cell coordinates
PV GET SELECTED RANGES LIST (Area;$LeftTab;$UpperTab;$RightTab;$LowerTab)
If (Size of array($LeftTab)#0) `Are there formulas corresponding to search criteria?
SORT ARRAY($LeftTab;$UpperTab;$RightTab;$LowerTab;>)
$StartColumn:=$LeftTab{1} `Get left-most cell
SORT ARRAY($UpperTab;$LeftTab;$RightTab;$LowerTab;>)
$StartRow:=$UpperTab{1} `Get upper-most cell
SORT ARRAY($RightTab;$UpperTab;$LeftTab;$LowerTab;>)
$EndColumn:=$RightTab{Size of array($RightTab)} `Get right-most cell
SORT ARRAY($LowerTab;$RightTab;$UpperTab;$LeftTab;>)
$EndRow:=$LowerTab{Size of array($LowerTab)} `Get lowest cell
`Review the selection
For ($Column;$StartCol;$EndCol)
For ($Row;$StartRow;$EndRow)
If (Position("$D$20";PV Get cell formula (Area;$Column;$Row))>0)
`Lock?
$ProtectedCell:=PV Get cell property (Area;$Column;$Row;pv style locked )
`Switch locked/unlocked
PV SET CELL PROPERTY (Area;$Column;$Row;pv style locked ;Num($ProtectedCell=0)) `0 
1

End for
End for
End if `Range(s) selected?
