Excel: indicate comments

Currently there is no way to know whether a cell in Excel has a comment. NVDA could announce it when approaching such cell.

Can you please create/attach such a document, and please also tell us which cell(s) you attached the comment to, so that we know where to look for it.
Thanks.

This feature doesn't make sense implementing till 2920 is fixed. I wanted to make these two tickets separate for better clarity. 2920 contains steps to create cells with comments.

Hi,
Just like for a cell with formula, NVDA announces 'has formula', here is the
patch to add announcing 'has comment'.

Direct link to patch: https://bitbucket.org/manish_agrawal/nvda/commits/bd895b044a59ac143ef00675c923503e84e0bc61#chg-source/NVDAObjects/window/excel.py

Repository: git@bitbucket.org:manish_agrawal/nvda.git
Branch: t2921

The patch will include a diff in Readme.txt, which will be invalid.
I just realized this, and will on fixing it.

Thanks
Vardhan

I've created the patch to announce 'has comment' for a cell with comments.
If cell also has a formula, NVDA will announce 'has formula comment'

Please review this patch:
git repository: https://bitbucket.org/manish_agrawal/nvda.git
branch: t2921
base branch: master

Thanks
Vardhan

New branch t2921 handles this issue by adding a hasContent state. Has formula has also been converted to a state rather than being the description. And the hasPopup state is also used to convey the cell has a dropdown.
