Implement SensitivityLabel object model

[jozefizso]

Implements the SensitivyLabel class and related data types.

I used the Plan mode with Claude Sonnet 4.5 to prepare the implementation, and the Agent mode with Claude Haiku 4.5 to implement the changes.

Prompt for plan

Create plan for implementing the SensitivityLabel object model in the Office project.

Object members are documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/office.sensitivitylabel

Include the documentation comments in the generated classes.

Implementation Plan for SensitivityLabel Object Model

Overview

The SensitivityLabel object provides access to sensitivity label functionality on Office documents. This implementation includes three main components:

1. SensitivityLabel object - The main wrapper object
2. LabelInfo object - Data object for label information
3. MsoAssignmentMethod enum - Enumeration for assignment methods

Files Created

1. DispatchInterfaces/SensitivityLabel.cs

Location: d:\NetOfficeFw\NetOffice\Source\Office\DispatchInterfaces\SensitivityLabel.cs

Structure:

• Namespace: NetOffice.OfficeApi
• Base class: _IMsoDispObj
• Support version: Office 16 (Office 2019+)
• Entity type: EntityType.IsDispatchInterface

Properties:

• None (this object only has methods)

Methods:

CreateLabelInfo()

• Returns: NetOffice.OfficeApi.LabelInfo
• Parameters: None
• Description: Creates a new empty LabelInfo object that can be passed to SetLabel method

GetLabel()

• Returns: NetOffice.OfficeApi.LabelInfo
• Parameters: None
• Description: Gets the current label information that exists on the document for the user
• Note: If the SensitivityLabelPolicy.CompleteInitialize was called, it gets the label for the user that was passed with UserId, otherwise gets the label for the user which is authenticated to the document

SetLabel(LabelInfo, object)

• Returns: void
• Parameters:
  • labelInfo (Required) - NetOffice.OfficeApi.LabelInfo - The label information that needs to be set on the document
  • context (Required) - object - A caller-defined context that can be returned with LabelChanged event
• Description: Sets the label information on the document for the user
• Note: If the SensitivityLabelPolicy.CompleteInitialize was called, it sets the label for the user that was passed with UserId, otherwise sets the label for the user which is authenticated to the document

Implementation Details

Standard Patterns Followed

1. Constructor Pattern

All dispatch interface classes follow the standard NetOffice constructor pattern with multiple overloads:

• Factory + ParentObject + ProxyShare
• Factory + ParentObject + ComProxy
• ParentObject + ComProxy
• Factory + ParentObject + ComProxy + ComProxyType
• ParentObject + ComProxy + ComProxyType
• ReplacedObject
• Default constructor
• ProgId constructor

2. Property Pattern

[SupportByVersion("Office", 16)]
public string PropertyName
{
    get { return Factory.ExecuteStringPropertyGet(this, "PropertyName"); }
    set { Factory.ExecuteValuePropertySet(this, "PropertyName", value); }
}

3. Method Pattern

[SupportByVersion("Office", 16)]
public ReturnType MethodName(ParameterType param)
{
    return Factory.ExecuteKnownReferenceMethodGet<ReturnType>(this, "MethodName", ReturnType.LateBindingApiWrapperType);
}

4. Enum Pattern

[SupportByVersion("Office", 16)]
EnumValue = NumericValue,

Integration Points

Future Integration Steps

After creating the files, the following integration is needed:

1. Add to OfficeApi.csproj - Include all three new files in the project file
2. Host object integration - Add SensitivityLabel property to relevant document objects:
   • Word.Document
   • Excel.Workbook
   • PowerPoint.Presentation
   • Other applicable document types

---

Testing Considerations

1. Verify Office 16+ version attribute (SupportByVersion("Office", 16))
2. Test with documents that have sensitivity labels applied
3. Validate enum values match COM interface
4. Ensure proper COM marshaling for all types
5. Test CreateLabelInfo/GetLabel/SetLabel workflow

---

Additional Notes

• The SensitivityLabel object is only available in Office 2019 (version 16) and later
• Requires specific Microsoft 365 license to access sensitivity label functionality
• Organization must have sensitivity label policies defined by administrator
• The organization is identified using an Office Account signed into Office
• DateTime properties use ExecuteVariantPropertyGet for proper COM marshaling
