A-Shell Development History

XTREE enhancement: the export to XLSX via CSV2XL now supports foreground and background colors. The feature can be enabled in one of three ways:

By setting the system option SBR=XTREE_CSV2XLSX, either in the MIAME.INI, or by setting the SBRF2_XTREE_CSV2XLSX flag using MX_SBRFLG or AG_SBRFLAGS.
By explicitly adding a PopupMenu option using the new $EXPCSV2XLSX special command.
By adding the Advanced Coldef Option ExportOptions=Attr to any column, provided that the XTREE_CSV2XL global option (previously labeled "Export (XLS)" and now labeled "Export (Data Only)" option is set. The XTREE_CSV2XL global option continues to enable the generic CSV2XL export, which does not support colors or other attributes, except that the ExportOptions=Attr option will upgrade it to be equivalent to the XTREE_CSV2XLSX option. Note that ExportOptions may be applied to the zero column, in which case it enables output of color (and potentially other) attributes for all columns; otherwise it only applies to the column to which it is attached. Note that there is also an ExportOptions=NoAttr which overrides the option previously set globally.

Example:

coldef="0~0~x~H~ExportOptions=Attr~~"

...

coldef += "30~5~Test~S~RGBbg=22,33,44~ExportOptions=NoAttr~~"

 

The above column definitions start by enabling the export of attributes globally, and then disabling it specifically for the one "Test" column.

Comments

Support for exporting color attributes to a spreadsheet requires CSV2XL.SBX 2.1(250) or higher (see below).

When the attribute export is enabled, the spreadsheet output format will beforced to XLSX, regardless of the setting in the relevant CSV2XL INI file.

See the topic "Export to XLS" for more details on exporting to a spreadsheet.
