To display all comments on a worksheet in a document-level customization

  1. Set the Visible property to true if you want to show comments; otherwise false. This code must be placed in a sheet class, not in the ThisWorkbook class.

    private void ShowOrHideComments(bool show)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= this.Comments.Count; i++)
    {
        this.Comments[i].Visible = show;
    }
}

    Private Sub ShowOrHideComments(ByVal show As Boolean)
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To Me.Comments.Count
        Me.Comments(i).Visible = show
    Next
End Sub
