Applying style to non-repeated values (TextFields)

[colombianboss561]

Hello, 

I'm running into a situation where I need to disallow values to repeat, BUT I also need to apply style to the TextField that gets ommited. I've attached an image to explain the situation. As you can see, there is one TextField that does not have the red backcolor as the rest, and it's because I have set the "Print Repeated Values" attribute to false for that TextField.

My questions is how can I apply style to the TextFields that are not being repeated? For example, in my case, how would I make the backcolor of that TextField blue?

Thanks!

You could place an empty frame in the report that:

• has the same x, y, width and height as the textfield.
• is 'Opaque' and has a blue backcolor
• has 'Print repeated values' set to true
• is placed under the textfield (in the JRXML file the frame is defined before the textfield):

<frame>  ...</frame><textField>  ...</textField>[/code]
