Re: RowRecord.set/getOutlineLevel not available in HSSFRow. Why ? Not ready or not implemented at all.

What you just described is basically what we all go through when playing 
with Excel :).  Excel doesn't like the way you have it implemented YET 
and may need a bit more tweaking.  Create a simple spreadsheet and use 
the POI biffviewer utility to examine the records and compare that with 
the file you generate.  You're close!

exposed to the user level APIs.


I eposed in HSSFRecord a method setOutlineLevel(short) that make no 
more than row.setOulineLevel.

The strange thing is that outputed xls file is diplayed correctly 
under if I open the xls in OpenOffice or StarOffice but in Excel 
97,2000 or 2002 the ouline is not displayed.

If I go deep in the api and create some  GutsRecords then the folding 
control is displayed also in Excel.

Any ideea what to do ?

I realy want to contribute some coe here but I have no ideea hot to 
approach the problem.

Thanx

I see in the class RowRecord some interesting methods 
setOutlineLevel(). Is there any way to access that mathod from 
HSSFRow class ?

Also that generated xsl  will do the outlineing  ok if i'll find a 
way to access RowRecord ?

I want to create a xsl like the attached one.

Any other idea how to do that rowfolding ?

Is very complicate to try to contribute at poi HSSF to create that 
feature ? It is very important for me.
