can you give me a quick working example of applying highlighting to a certain spreadsheet cell range and then removing it? We are on the newest WebViewer build and TypeScript would be helpful!

Hello, I’m AiRon, an automated tech support bot :robot:
While you wait for one of our customer support representatives, I can help you with your question.


Applying and removing highlights to a cell range in Apryse’s SpreadSheet Viewer can be done by interacting with the spreadsheet’s data model. Since you are using TypeScript, you can take advantage of its type-checking features for a more robust implementation.

Some things you can try:

  • Access the spreadsheet’s data model through the WebViewer API.

  • Use the API to select a specific range of cells you want to highlight.

  • Apply a style to the selected range, such as a background color, to highlight it.

  • To remove the highlight, reset the style of the cell range to its original state.



Here are some resources that might help you:


Hopefully, this helps you solve your problem while you wait for a human to get back to you.

Hi Neel,

Thank you for reaching out.

I don’t think it is possible to use annotations when using the Spreadsheet editor but I will discuss this internally for final confirmation.

I will let you know when I have an update.

Best Regards,
Mickaël.

Hi Neel,

After discussing this internally, there is a way to change the background color of a cell range if that is what you had in mind:

This would allow you to change the backgroundColor for example, here is the property you can change:

Let us know if that is what you had in mind.

Best Regards,
Mickaël.
