How can i be ensured that every detail section won't be separated in diffenent pages?
If two detail sections aren't able to fit into one page without second devision into two parts, then they must be set into two pages. I don't want the second detail section been divided.
thank you
Are you using iReport? If so, simply click the detail node in the outline window (that tree structure on the left of the screen) to bring up the properties for that band. The properties window will appear on the right side of the screen. Where it says Split Type, select "Prevent" from the drop down menu. If you are coding your report in jrxml, when you get to the <detail> tag, in its first child tag, <band> set the attribute splitType="Prevent".
I am not sure that this is a better way of doing it but you can do it by checking the sum of the sizes divisions being greater than or less than the total size total size of page. If it is less than the size of the page you don't need to do anything but if it is greater you can simply take out the last division and put it on the other page. There would be some way of pagination in JasperReport, try googling it. Hope it works for you.

I am using iText 2.1.7
I write a pdf document for which the page size and contant can differ each time. What i want to achieve is a table at the very last page and at the bottom of that page. I am aware of the method 'writeSelectedRows', but with this it could happen that i overwrite text on the page, because i dont know if there is space for my table.
So in conclusion:
If i have reached the last page i want to add my table at the bottom of the page. But if the table does not fit, i want a new page and on this page i want to add the table at the bottom.
I could not find a solution so far.
Use this http://developers.itextpdf.com/de/node/1910 to calculate the height of a table and then check the available space on a page with PdfWriter.GetVerticalPostition(). You might want to consider your Document.BottomMargin or some other offset in your space calculation. (v4.1.6)
Check out this link:
http://developers.itextpdf.com/content/best-itext-questions-stackoverview/general-questions-about-itext/itext7-how-find-out-current-cursor-position-page
I suppose that once you know the current cursor position on this page, you can write a simple if-statement to add a new page, or not.
Kind regards,

I am using current BIRT version that is 4.5. I have two master pages in my report. I have huge data to display on a report so i have set some data to display on one master page and the remaining on another master page due to some reason. The problem is when there is no data to display on one of the master page it is rendering a blank page with header and footer of that master page which i want to avoid. In my pdf report how can i avoid this blank page?
Hi, all are pointing to hide tables or other components but my requirement here is, i need to hide the page itself. I dont think there is visibility option for page. even if it is there it is not so useful. Kindly understand that i dont want to display the page itself not only the components in it.so can i expect any help now?
I guess you added the tables directly on the masterpage?
That's not how it works. BIRT will render the (master)page and maybe hide the elements on them (for example a table that has no data. You can do this by setting the visibility property). The problem with this approach is that the Masterpage cannot be 'unrenderred'.
The proper way to fix this, is to add each element on the normal layout. In the properties for each table, grid, etc. you can set the pagebreak properties. Here you can select the Masterpage you want to use. If an element does not need to be rendered (by visibility settings), it wont trigger a 'blank' masterpage.
Hope that helps.
I would like to know if there is any way to verify that a specific elment of a web page is in a given position.
For instance, suppose you have a requirement stating:
"The lamp button shall appear on the upper left side corner of the web page".
How can I verify that the button is in the right position automatically?
Firstly, I should ask the requirements engineer to translate the left position in coordinate and since I have been working with Selenium 2.0 JAVA API, I can use
the method "getLocation" of the element. Is the only way to verify the element position.
http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/WebElement.html#getLocation%28%29
There are two ways to verify the location of an element.
getLocation() verifies the absolute location of an element. I don't recommend this, it can change all the time depending on loading speeds and the size of the window.
getCssValue() can, to an extent, verify the relative location of an element. Most modern websites do their layout via CSS. You can do a getCssValue("display") which might return block,grid, or other layouts. You can check the margin, border, or padding.
However, the above solution is also brittle, because a site can change their layout quite frequently. It also requires the developer of the selenium code to know quite a lot about CSS. Finally, it isn't fail-proof. I can check for 20 different things, and still a single change in the CSS can completely change the position of the element.
I am getting the following error in a peculiar fashion.
The point at which the driver is attempting to click on the element was not scrolled into the viewport.
The user story goes like this, if a selection is made in a check group, corresponding div with few fields will be enabled. Similarly for n-number of selection there will be n-number of DIVs. When i select only one option in the div, it works as expected but not for the multiple options.
i have read some stuffs and tried all the possible combination about the above said view port issue. My work around attempts and the outcomes are given below.
1) Tried with the Advanced interaction method. (Action class) - The same exception
2) Accessed with java-script executor- same exception
few more will be updated soon.
I have tried all the combination of locating mechanism. Everything works perfect and the element is in visible mode. But when i perform any operation on the second DIV values i am getting the above said exception.
what can be possibly done to get the element in working mode?
EDIT :
1.The DIV elements all are in view port and they all are accessible individually.
2. Div are enabled as per the check box selected
3.In a scenario, if we choose two check box, after a first selection you can edit the DIV and for the second selection the DIV will not be accessible.
4. both DIVs are identical with respect to the elements/attributes/properties of the elements.
5. When a Active div is edited no other div will be available in the UI.
For some reasons i was not able to produce the Reproducible code here.
i sorted out the problem. There was actually a frame for every DIV. these frames are just hidden after the edit and a fresh frame is opened every time, so when i access the second div i had to choose the latest frame.
i just polled for the number of frame and proceed with the latest one.
I have a large set of data from which the user has to select one. I'm thinking of a way to implement it (of course, in a GUI). I have a few ideas. But just thought of posting here as there may be better alternatives..
Say, user has to select a name from a large set of user base. If I simply put a text field for user to enter the name, then there can be issues like entering same name in different formats, misspelling etc...
I see two options here
Using a combo box
Using a list (Actually i'm thinking of something like a tool tip. As I cant show the whole list always due to space issues)
But combo box won't be much user friendly i guess. As the user will have to scroll around the whole list to select an entry. If the number of entries are too large, this will be
Which means, now I'm left only one option. A popping up list, which will change the content according the text user is entering in the text field. So he can type first few letters and the list will show all the entries starting from the entered text. Got my point, right?
Are there any other better to achieve this kind of need?
If I'm going to implement above, what will be the best way to follow. I'm thinking of extending the JTextField to add required functionality. Well, I'll put some method to set the popup list entries. And I'll add some actionListner to watch the text field, and control the popup list accordingly...
Autocomplete is what you are probably looking for. Google for "java swing jcombobox autocomplete" and limit results for the last couple of years to get relevant results. There will be a lot of examples and ideas on how to implement this with custom code.
I believe there is also some custom libraries like "swingx" that provide at least partial or full implementations to save time.
http://swingx.java.net/
They have released code as recently as the beginning of this years so it appears active and might have what you need.
You could take a look at SwingLab's autocomplete feature, it allows you to attach it to a JCombBox, JList or JTextComponent
use AutoComplete JComboBox/JTextField
based on Standard Java Classes
