Show jasper viewer modally

Is it possible to show the jasper viewer modally? Currently I register a window event listener to the viewer but it a pain if you have multiple viewers that shoudl show one after another.

 

Thanks!

No, you can not without doing your own JasperViewer, as dori.jasper.view.JasperViewer is derived from javax.swing.JFrame - which can not (up until now) be made modal.

Easiest solution is to take the source of dori.jasper.view.JasperViewer and change it to be derived from JDialog, or even take just the dori.jasper.view.JRViewer (which is a panel) and add that to a custom frame of yours.

 

Regards!

Thankyou... I tried putting the view inside of a dialog but then the print dialog is disabled... It can be displayed but no buttons in it worked....

Hi:

To use JasperViewer with a modal jDialog all you have to do is remove the modal property to the jDialog before show the Jasper Viewer. Here is an example:

jv = new JasperViewer(jp, false);
setModal(false);
jv.setTitle("Title");
jv.setVisible(true);
setModal(true);

Wtih this you can have all the Jasper Viewer' s you need. Hope this help.

Also you have to put to the jDialog the modalityType property MODELESS.

[g_girardini]

JasperViewer jv = new JasperViewer (jprint, false);
jv.setModalExclusionType(ModalExclusionType.APPLICATION_EXCLUDE);
jv.setVisible(true);

This way, you can open a report from a modal dialog, and the report keeps excluded from the modal dialog, and you can save it or print it
