How we can add a comment to a worksheetcell or cell to a xamspreadsheet. When I try to hover on the cell. It does not show any comment.
posted

I tried the below approach to add the comments: 

http://help.infragistics.com/Help/Doc/WPF/2012.2/CLR4.0/html/IGExcelEngine_Add_a_Comment_to_a_Cell.html

I don't get any error after adding the comment. The worksheet cell's property - hasComment also returns true. But on xamspreadsheet, when i try to hover on the cell. It does not show any comment.

Do we need any further configuration or settings to make the comments view able on the xamspreadsheet.

 

Thanks

S.

    Hello Sherry,

     

    Thank you for your post.

     

    I have been looking into the link you have provided from our documentation  and it seems that the example demonstrates how to add a comment to a cell in worksheet with Infragistics Excel Engine and display it in Excel.

     

    After working on the functionality that you are trying to achieve and doing some research, the ability to display comment in our XamSpreadsheet control   has been determined to be a new product idea. You can suggest new Product Ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at http://ideas.infragistics.com.

     

    Steps to create your idea:

                   

    1. Log into the Infragistics Product Ideas site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).

    2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)

    3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible.

    • Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!

    • [CASE: “Reference case [case number], FORUMS: “Include a link to this thread”] in your idea so product management will be able to look back at this case. 

     

    The benefits of submitting the product idea yourself include:

    • Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.

    • Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.

       

      Additional benefits of the Product Idea system include:

       

    • Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you.  You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.

    • Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.

    • You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.

       

      The product ideas site allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.

       

     

    What I can suggest in order to be able achieve similar behavior in XamSpreadsheet and display notes to a  cell is to create AnyValueDataValidationRule only with InputMessageDescription.  For example:

     

    AnyValueDataValidationRule rule = new AnyValueDataValidationRule();

              

                rule.InputMessageDescription = "Comment for a cell";

                worksheet1.Rows[0].Cells[0].DataValidationRule = rule;

     

    Thank you for contacting Infragistics.
