If I am correct, showInPane() is not at all what you are after. With Excel, it is possible to lock one or more rows/columns so that they remain in view if the user scrolls through the contents of the worksheet. One obvious use is when you place labels at the top of each column to show what figures they contain. If you do not lock the first row then those labels will disappear as the user scrolls down the sheet. The word pane is used to refer to the area of the sheet that does scroll as I understand it so if you want a specific part of the sheet to show within the scrollable pane you call the show in pane method.
Now that I understand more what you are after, I would suggest a simple test. Once you have created the workbook and just before you save it away to file, iterate through each of the sheets the workbook and call the setActiveCell() method for each sheet passing as a parameter the reference of the cell you wish to see as active when the sheet is selected by your user. I do not know if this will work but it should be a very quick, easy test to run; sorry to say I have not yet had the chance to test the theory but it is sound enough I think.. -- View this message in context: http://apache-poi.1045710.n5.nabble.com/showInPane-does-not-work-tp5720321p5720340.html Sent from the POI - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@poi.apache.org
