Insert an image as a comment in an Excel cell

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Abby Abraham 314

Does anyone know how to insert an image as a comment in an Excel cell?

I can add a text as a comment by using sysExcelCell.addcomment("Comment here") but it does not seem to support adding images as comments.

Thanks for your help.

    Got it working.

    Here is the code I wrote

    COM comment;

    COM shape;

    COM line;

    COM userpic;

    comment = sysExcelWorksheetBackOrder.cells().item(1,5).addComment("").comObject();

                shapes = comment.shape();

                line = Shapes.fill();

                userpic = line.UserPicture("C:\temp\pic.jpg");

    Thank you

    Okay, I just don't know how to do it in Excel.

    I suggest you follow a C# implementation, like this one. It creates a comment with empty text and then accesses its Shape property.

    Yes it does on Excel itself and

    also C# code below

    For Each cell In Selection

    pic = "C:\pic.jpg"

    With cell.AddComment

                 .Shape.Fill.UserPicture pic

    End With

    Does Excel support images in comments at all? I'm not aware of it.
