Aspose.Cells - Insert Cell Comments
Add a comment to a cell by calling the Shapes collection’s addComments method (encapsulated in the Worksheet object). The new Comment object can be accessed from the Comments collection by passing the comment index. After accessing the Comment object, customize the comment note by using the Comment object’s setNote method.
Java
//Instantiating a Workbook object
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);
//Adding a comment to "F5" cell
int commentIndex = worksheet.getComments().add("F5");
Comment comment = worksheet.getComments().get(commentIndex);
//Setting the comment note
comment.setNote("Hello Aspose!");Apache POI SS - HSSF & XSSF - Insert Cell Comments
Below examples shows how Comments can be inserted using Apache POI API
Java
Workbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook(); //or new HSSFWorkbook();
CreationHelper factory = wb.getCreationHelper();
Sheet sheet = wb.createSheet();
Row row = sheet.createRow(3);
Cell cell = row.createCell(5);
cell.setCellValue("F4");
Drawing drawing = sheet.createDrawingPatriarch();
// When the comment box is visible, have it show in a 1x3 space
ClientAnchor anchor = factory.createClientAnchor();
anchor.setCol1(cell.getColumnIndex());
anchor.setCol2(cell.getColumnIndex()+1);
anchor.setRow1(row.getRowNum());
anchor.setRow2(row.getRowNum()+3);
// Create the comment and set the text+author
Comment comment = drawing.createCellComment(anchor);
RichTextString str = factory.createRichTextString("Hello, World!");
comment.setString(str);
comment.setAuthor("Apache POI");
// Assign the comment to the cell
cell.setCellComment(comment);
