I am using poi3.5 api to create excel report. Now I need a mutiline rich text box on excel sheet. I am not able to find the exact solution.Please guide me on this, if anyone has solution.
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at: http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/how-to.html
you may find the answers there.
Create a textbox with anchor and you are good to go. Following code will create textbox with 20px text, no border.
HSSFPatriarch patriarch = sheet.createDrawingPatriarch();
HSSFTextbox textbox1 = patriarch.createTextbox(new HSSFClientAnchor(0,0,1023,255,(short)4,2,(short)6,3));;
HSSFRichTextString rt1 = new HSSFRichTextString("This is title");
HSSFFont font = workbook.createFont();
font.setFontHeight((short)400);
rt1.applyFont(font);
textbox1.setString(rt1);
textbox1.setLineStyle(HSSFShape.LINESTYLE_NONE);
One thing to note is that coordinates in client anchor has limits and those limits are 1023 and 255. If you are not changing coordinates, textbox will reside between row1,row2 and col1,col2.

Are you just calling a standard msgbox in VBA? If so, instead of calling a msgbox, you can create an actual UserForm in Excel VBA. From there, place a label in the "box" and you can format the font in a variety of ways: colors, size, text font, etc.
You cannot do any "fun" animations as far as I know. But you can definitely change the font size and color!
Here is an example (I'm not the most creative person)
You do this under the VBA Project Explorer -> Insert -> Userform. From there you add Labels/Buttons/Whatever objects you would like, and resize the form if you so choose. Then in your module/macro, you call this form instead of using a msgbox.
As far as changing the color and size of the text, Yes, you need to create a UserForm and create the 'Welcome' screen as a custom form instead of using VBA's msgbox.
In VBA, right click on the workbook in the Project Explorer.
Select Insert->UserForm.
Design how you'd like the Welcome screen to display.
In ThisWorkbook's Workbook_Open() sub, put UserForm.Show() to display the custom welcome message when the workbook first opens.
As far as animating said text, Not really. There are some convoluted workarounds using an embedded webbrowser object in order to render a custom animated text javascript file. It is full of 'Potential Risk' notifications for the user and really doesn't look very good. Sorry to burst your bubble :).
I need to change the text color but I don't find how. I searched the wiki and help sections but found nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Towards the right end of the toolbar there are three buttons for changing the text, fill and stroke colour of the selected item:
You can also right-click on the element and choose Properties and from there change the text colour.
The textarea-class in JavaFX should give me the option to add rows and columns, but the way I tried didn't work:
TextArea ta = new TextArea();
ta.setPrefRowCount(100);
ta.setPrefColumnCount(100);
I'm searching for columns/rows like in Microsoft Excel, inclusive the gridines.
.setGridLinesVisible(true);
doesn't work for this Type.
For use case similiar to Excel you're actually looking for TableView. Every table cell can contain anything, even another window so it is very flexible.
If you want grid lines on top of TextArea, but want to keep the standard TextArea behavior, you will have to combine the TextArea and TableView in a StackPane.
You will just have to clear the table's background using CSS.
However, matching the row and column sizes with the text will need some additional code.
Apologies for my English.
colums/rows like in Microsoft Excel, inclusive the gridines
TableView as recommended in Michael's answer is likely the right basic solution for.
There are some 3rd party controls you might consider which add some basic spreadsheet like functionality to the base JavaFX TableView control:
SpreadsheetView from the ControlsFX project.
TiwulFX from Panemu.
I have a
ComboBox cmb = new ComboBox();
I would like to display a list of colors, if possible ordered from brighter to darkest, but I haven't find any working example
How to render a combobox in order to display a list of color?
Any help really appreciated
Thanks
Edit: question closed, solved by myself, thanks all.
To calculate brightness (for sorting) use the luminosity coefficients:
var color = Color.FromArgb(240,230,210); // use whatever color you're wanting to rank
var luminosity = 0.299*color.R + 0.587*color.G+ 0.114*color.B;
As for rendering it into a combobox, I know it can't be done with the standard Window Forms Combobox. But, it wouldn't be too hard to make your own ComboBox control. I would guess you could do it pretty readily in WPF. As for the approach to take - you'll need to generate a graphics object and draw rectangles of the color onto the control - or draw to an in-memory bitmap and set a picturebox's image property to that image. Good luck!
I am trying to create cells comments using apache poi. I am able to create the comments, but by default they are always displayed in excel. I have to manual right click on the cell and un-tick show comments to make them invisible(now they appear only when I hover on the cell). Is it possible to make cell comments invisible by default(so that they don't appear in the excel until user hover over the cell.)
Here is the code I used :
Drawing drawing = cell.getSheet().createDrawingPatriarch();
CreationHelper factory = cell.getSheet().getWorkbook().getCreationHelper();
ClientAnchor anchor = factory.createClientAnchor();
anchor.setCol1(cell.getColumnIndex());
anchor.setCol2(cell.getColumnIndex() + 1);
anchor.setRow1(cell.getRowIndex());
anchor.setRow2(cell.getRowIndex() + 3);
Comment comment = drawing.createCellComment(anchor);
RichTextString str = factory.createRichTextString(message);
comment.setVisible(Boolean.FALSE);
comment.setString(str);
cell.setCellComment(comment);
Paroksh. I have executed same code that you have given. By default, I am getting comments on hover only. It seems that it is not the code issue but the Excel settings issue. I have checked it in excel 2010. If you have different version then check the similar settings.
Please check Home --> Option --> Advanced --> Display...
there "Indicators only, and comments on hover" radio button should be selected.
