The Report Generation Toolkit provides functions to set various Format aspects of Excel "areas", and Excel Graphs, but doesn't provide the complementary "Get" functions to return the current values. For example, I wrote a LabVIEW function that will set the Font Color of a row of a WorkSheet to Red (using Excel Set Cell Font), but if I want to find the row with the Red font, there is no "Excel Get Cell Font" that can return the property to me. Of course, I could cobble something together using ActiveX calls, perhaps, but these are poorly documented, and since NI is already doing the "heavy lifting" to provide the Set functions, it would seem "relatively simple" for them to also add the corresponding Get functions, as well.
