I have a requirement to be able to create excel files on the fly. I’m using POI 3.7 and all is fine, but I can’t find a way to add a listbox, i.e. the multiple select box just like described here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/add-a-list-box-or-combo-box-to-a-worksheet-HP010236681.aspx .
Does anyone know a way to programmatically add such listboxes / multiple select to an excel file (97 and 2007 versions) using POI.
Is this even possible?
Many thanks,
Damo
The Apache POI documentation contains an example that shows how this can be done:
