Hi All I'm glad to announce that the long-awaited support for excel comments in POI is implemented. The request to implement it has been in po-dev since June 2002 (see Bug 10215) and finally this feature is present.
Now it's possible to read/write cell comments using HSSF API. The docs on the POI website have been updated. See how-to at http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/quick-guide.html#CellComments Excel comment is a special text shape. What I understood it the task came to implementing a new type of shape and the underlying records. Below is a detailed list of changes: * Implemented new records: org.apache.poi.hssf.record.NoteRecord and org.apache.poi.hssf.record.NoteStructureSubRecord. * Changed record factories and BiffViewer to handle new types of records * Note records need to be serialized after all drawing group records. Changed org.apache.poi.hssf.record.EscherAggregate to handle that. * Implemented org.apache.poi.hssf.model.CommentShape and the corresponding high-level org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFComment * Add methods to org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCell to get/set cell comments Regards, Yegor Kozlov --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing List: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#poi The Apache Jakarta Poi Project: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
