Urgent: Need help with CommentShape.Placement attribute without AutoSize=true

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi There,

I'm evaluating the latest release of the Aspose.Cells for .Net library as there were some nagging issues in the older binaries that my company had purchased a few years ago. However, one of the issues still persists even with the latest. I've searched your forum for this problem, but could not find any solution so far. So, any help would be highly appreciated!

This issue is related to setting a comment on a cell. Here's my code:

var comment = worksheet.Comments[worksheet.Comments.Add("A1")];
comment.Note = "Hello World!";
comment.Width = 300;
comment.Height = 100;
comment.CommentShape.Placement = PlacementType.Move;

Now, the problem is that the last line does not work as expected. It does not set the "Object positioning" property of the Comment box to "Move but don't size with cells". In fact, the only time this property works is when it is comment.AutoSize is also set to true, as shown below.

// Works, but then Width and Height properties are ignored!
comment.CommentShape.Placement = PlacementType.Move;
comment.AutoSize = true;

Thanks in advance!

Hi,


I have tested your scenario/ case a bit. After an initial test, I observed the issue as you mentioned. I found setting
CommentShape’s Placement type to “Move” only works with making its
AutoSize on. If we do not set the AutoSize to true, it does not work as
you pointed out.

e.g


Sample code:


Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

var comment = worksheet.Comments[worksheet.Comments.Add("A1")];
comment.Note = "Hello World!";
comment.CommentShape.Width = 300;
comment.CommentShape.Height = 100;
comment.CommentShape.Placement = PlacementType.Move;
comment.AutoSize = true;//If we comment this line, it won't work.

workbook.Save("e:\\test2\\out1.xlsx");

I have logged a ticket with an id "CELLSNET-43280" for your issue. We will look into it soon.

Once we have any update on it, we will let you know here.

Thank you.

The hotfix seems to have fixed the comment placement issue. However, I noticed a few other features went missing when I copied this DLL into my solution. Any idea when this will make into the latest release?
