Setting style to crosstab cell by inside content

[cristinab]

Hi,

It is possible to set the parent element style using the style of the child element?

I have a crosstab cell and I want to set its style dynamicaly using the style tag in the TextElement that is inside the crosstab cell(detail/detail).

Regards,

Cristina

Why can't you directly set the cell style (JRXML: <cellContents style="StyleName">)?

 

Setting the cell style by using the style of an element inside the cell is not supported, and makes no sense in my opinion.

What I am trying to do is to set the style of the cell (backcolor)depending on the value of the textField element .I can't use conditional styles because I do not know how many colors I have to display

This is why I thought I could change somehow the cell style using the <style> tag.I tried <style backcolor="red"> $F{displayValue}</style> as textExpression but the color is not apllied to the entire element :(.

This kind of dynamic styling is not currently supported by JR.

This sort of works for me, but what happens is if a cell is null, it does not highlight.

Basically my report looks like this

 

date part1 part2 part3

11/16/06 1 1 3

11/17/06 2 1 2

11/18/06 1

 

I am passing in a boolean of true if the date is a weekend and if so fill the background color to yellow (I want to highlight the row), so the 11/18 date would be highlighted. It will only fill in the cell of part2 because it has data, part1 and part3 stay white. Is there a way to solve this?

 

Also, I tried to put a rectangle into the date header (so that 11/18/06 would be highlighted) but it overlaps the actual date, I can't send element to back. Any ideas?
