Adding notes to a graph?

Is it possible to add an "Autoshape" or "Text Box" to a graph?

I have successfully used "Shapes.addComment" to add a Comment to a data sheet.*

What would be the best practice to obtain this type of functionality?

* Note under Excel 2003 SP2 if you add more than one Comment and subsequently move both around (by dragging within Excel) it crashes Excel.

Note that IChart permits the Shapes.addComment() method, however that invariably causes an issue!

Hi Jason,

1) Currently we do not provide support to add "Autoshape" or "Text Box. So, I have created a feature request with the development team

I will update you as soon as an estimate is available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

2) Use the following code snippets to insert comments.

[c#]

//Insert Comment.
ICommentShape shapecom = sheet[ "A1" ].AddComment();

//Format Line.
IShapeLineFormat line = sheet.Comments[ 0 ].Line;
shapecom.Text = "hello";
line = shapecom.Line;
line.Weight = 12;
line.ForeColor = Color.Magenta;
line.Style = ExcelShapeLineStyle.Line_Thin_Thick;

Here is the sample for your reference:

3) Could you please provide more details on how Comments are added to chart in MS Excel? This would help me in investigating further on this issue.

Please take a look and let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Melba
