Hi,
I am trying StyleRowProcessor to apply some styles to particular cell. In JXLS examples, I did not get this lines.
String styleCellLabel = "customRow";
if( namedCells.containsKey( styleCellLabel ) ){
Cell customCell = (Cell) namedCells.get( styleCellLabel );
for (int i = 0; i < row.getCells().size(); i++) {
Cell cell = (Cell) row.getCells().get(0);
HSSFCell hssfCell = cell.getHssfCell();
if( hssfCell!=null ){
copyStyle( row.getSheet().getHssfWorkbook(), customCell.getHssfCell(), hssfCell );
What is this customRow, From where do we pass or set this?
