Extends

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi BETA (PREVIEW ONLY) ]

Properties

context

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

items

Gets the loaded child items in this collection.

Methods

add(cellAddress, content)

Adds a new note with the given content on the given cell.

getCount()

Gets the number of notes in the collection.

getItemAt(index)

Gets a note object by its index in the collection.

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.

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.NoteCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.NoteCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.
