We need to be able to create cell comments using the API. This can be done in Excel 2000 using Insert | Comment. We need to be able to do this using the API. We are using jakarta-poi-1.5.0-dev-20020416-bin.zip. I have looked in the 1.7 version but there is no method on HSSFCell for this. Regards Craig
This is not yet suppported. Enhancement.
For that matter I have found no way read the comments though you can copy the field and the comment follows.
Folks might want to start voting for bugs. Some of the ones that are low priority for me I might fix if masses of people voted for them. Otherwise its quite honestly based on the 2.0 vision, my interests, my $business interests$ ones that got many votes might peak my interest.
We need this very badly in our project.
I have a very strong need for this functionality as well.
To us, reading comments in existing cells (created manually in excel) is more important than being able to insert new ones. I'm voting for this anyway. Is support for comments scoped for a particular release?
Has any progress been made regarding this feature? We urgently need the ability to generate spreadsheets with comments.
The ability to read the comments would definitely be a good start and we need this in our project.
I really need this feature, i think comments sould be supported.
This feature means the difference between POI being useful to us and not. Hopefully the ability to read/write/delete comments will become available soon.
The feature is implemented. Enjoy. Regards, Yegor *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 41198 ***
