HSSF Cell and Date format

Posted by "Koundinya (Sudhakar Chavali)" <su...@yahoo.com>.
Hi


     if (HSSFDateUtil.isCellDateFormatted(cell)) { }  this
condition works for me if the cell contains date or date and
time, but if it contains only time, condition is considering my
cell value as numerical value only. How should i solve the
problem

Thanks
Sudhakar

Hi Ryan

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but it appears that what has been comittied is a
some Escher records, and a graphics objects, all within HSSF + some
examples. Am I wrong -- or is there a standalone package somewhere, that can
be reused, and e.g. plugged into HWPF?

I think the common library was the plan from the start. I haven't looked at
the package structure.

HWPF and HSSF common code?

Posted by Kais Dukes <kd...@kaisdukes.com>.
POI Developers,

First of all, I would like to thank you for all your time and effort, since
this very useful project that would not have come into existence without
you, and especially the project founders.

I have a question regarding the Escher layer, and the recent 2.5 release. To
the best of my knowledge (please correct me If I am wrong) the Escher layer
was adopted from Excel 97 onwards as an office-wide drawing implementation.
As such, would it be technically feasible to create a common library for
POI, i.e. outside of HSSF?

I do releaize that the XLS serialization of drawing objects distributes the
Escher stream across multiple records, differing from the normal BIFF
pattern. I am asking this questios mainly from a design perspective
(something I am personally interested in) but believe these comments may be
fruitful to discuss on POI-Dev. If a common library could be created, we
could let HWPF and HSSF use the same core drawing code, but let the XLS and
DOC serialization do that in their own ways. Could a common object model
(and possibly API?), make sense for both HWPF and HSSF on this?

Look forward to your comments on this issue, as the drawing library is
something I would be keen to work on as a first releasable project, having
not been able to commit any of my other POI contributions yet.

-- Kais
