I have a tr:table with the rowSelection property set to "single". It draws a extra column with a radio buttons inside. But I want to change the text displayed at that column's header. I don't find any property that allow me to accomplish this. I guess I should overwrite some properties file but I haven't found anything on this topic in the Trinidad documentation.
Thanks.
As Trinidad itself doesn't seem to offer this, you can do it with javascript. It is not a clean solution, but it will work.
First, open the generated html code and find the in which you are interested. If it has an ID - document.getElementById("yourformname:tdId"). If it doesn't, try accessing it with getElementsByTagName("td") called on the table. When you have it, set its innerHTML to whatever text you want.
It is an ugly workaround, but will possibly work

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 want to create an installer, which downloads files from a URL which is going to be a default value if the Text is blank, and the "hint" will be
Insert your specific URL
And I'm wondering how to add the hint?
Have a look at the documentation of Text. Especially the method setMessage(String):
Sets the widget message. The message text is displayed as a hint for the user, indicating the purpose of the field.
I need to be able to customize the checkbox fill type on demand as I render the pdf.
I must do this only with the AcroFields (pdfStamper.getAcroFields()), because I'm not creating any new fields (just modifying), and that's the only thing I have available to me in scope. I have tried about a hundred things, including the one listed below, which was my best guess on how to do this.
PdfDictionary dictionary = (PdfDictionary) acrofields.getFieldItem("ABCD").getWidget(0).get(PdfName.MK);
dictionary.put(PdfName.CA, new PdfString("8", PdfObject.TEXT_UNICODE));
ABCD is just for testing.
I am very stuck, and any help would be greatly appreciated. I am able to change the value in the dictionary, but it does not seem to have any affect when I write the pdf to a file. Other changes such as setting the checkbox to being checked/unchecked work, as well as populating text fields. So I as very surprised and confused why this is not working.
You're trying to change the caption of a check box, but it's unclear to me what you expect to see. Do you want to see the text "8"? In that case, changing the caption isn't sufficient. You also need to change the appearance. You can find the possible appearances under the /AP key. In the case of a check box, you'll find two possible appearance states under the normal appearance (/N). These XObjects define what you see when the PDF is rendered.
I'm looking for a solution to this and I have searched the web for an answer with nothing. I need a scrolling message on my webpage that can be updated by the same website but on a different page. (e.g www.webpage.com <-- has the scrolling message on it, www.webpage.com/settings <-- has a form in which you can change/update the scrolling message)
I'm pretty sure this is achievable with Java, but my knowledge on Java is slim and all my efforts have come to a fail. I have managed to get a scrolling message on my webpage and I'm sure if I could read a text file (with the message in) then assign that to a 'var', I could make that scroll but I don't know how to do that.
If you know a completely different method of doing this I am happy to change mine.
Thanks in advance,
Tom.
I would recommend javascript instead of java, since java is not really conventional anymore and looks ugly too (and requires a special plugin).
It depends on how fast you want to update the scrolling text how you want to do this. I would say save the text to a .txt or database from settings, and then have your page get it.
You can then use php to read the value from the .txt file or database to display it on your website.
If you want it to be extremely up to date you can let javasript call a little .php file that reads the file and gives you the content.
To make your text scroll you don't really need anything other than html, like so:
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">Your scrolling text goes here</marquee>
You can read more about that here: http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/scrolling_text.cfm
Hello im making a program and using TableModel. I have 6 column filed with string's. I want the sixth column string make it look like URL. When i mean look like URL , i mean turn it into blue and be underlined. Is it possible to do that?
You need to write custom TableCellRenderer for your jtable. See this link.This may be helpful for you.
Sun had a very good tutorial (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#modelchange) on cerating jtable. just go through it before you start. hope this tutorial will help you.
But below is my suggestion.
("<html><b><u>link</u></html>");
<html><b>bold</b></html>
a similar kind of thing
However, I wouldn't recommend altering the data in your model just to effect display. Instead I would create a custom cell renderer which accomplishes this effect and set it on the table. You could either wrap your text in the HTML or manually set font color and style properties on the renderer to mimic html.
Now even if you were to include the url in the html you still can't click on it. There is no component in the table. You don't really want to go into edit mode when clicking on a url. You just want to open that link. To accomplish this you would add a mouse listener to the table itself. When you receive a click event, you would then programatically determine which cell it was over, go back to your model and get the url, and finally use other Java API calls to open that url.
I'm pretty sure you can simply create a string containing
<html>...</html>
and it will work. Just code your link inside the html tags as you would in html. You'll just have to add extra code if you want it to appear blue. I think:
<font color='blue'>
would do it
