  Hello,
  
  I’m trying to add an image to a comment in an Excel file programmatically. I’m using the following function:

  [code]private static void addImageToCellComment(IRange cell, InputStream imageInputStream) throws IOException {
  
  if (imageInputStream == null || imageInputStream.available() == 0) {
  
  return;
  
  }

      // Optionally add a comment to indicate there's an image
      IComment comment = cell.addComment("Picture");
      comment.getShape().getFill().userPicture(imageInputStream, ImageType.PNG);
      comment.getShape().setWidth(200);
      comment.getShape().setHeight(200);
  }[/code]
  

  However, the image does not appear in the comment, and there are no error messages. I would appreciate any guidance or examples for getting this to work.
  
  I’m working on the version 8.1.1

  Hi Nguyễn,

  Thanks for your patience.

  The issue has been resolved in DsExcel v8.2.5.

  The attached sample application demonstrates that pictures in comments now work as expected.

  If you run into any other issues or need further help, feel free to reach out.

  Kind Regards,
