How to hide formula bar on spreadsheet

In Excel under the View menu, I can uncheck the Formula Bar checkbox to remove the formula bar from the display. Is there a way I can do that with POI?

Turns out that this flag is not stored in the workbook like the Display Gridlines attribute is, so I don't think this is possible.

Hi,

I don't know of a ready-made interface being available right now, but you can likely set it via some of the lower-level APIs in POI.

If yes I suggest you create two very similar files in Excel which just differ in this setting and save them as XLSX, then you can unzip both files (XLSX is actually a ZIP) and do a file-compare on them to find out where this is stored, with this information we can likely guide you to how you can use the lower level API to set this.

Thanks... Dominik.
