Extends

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.18 ]

Properties

authorName

Gets the author of the note.

content

Gets or sets the text of the note.

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

height

Specifies the height of the note.

visible

Specifies the visibility of the note. A value of true means the note is shown.

width

Specifies the width of the note.

Methods

delete()

Deletes the note.

getLocation()

Gets the cell where this note is located.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.Note object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.NoteData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
