Defining color for a band background

[peter_tonev]

Hello community,

 

is there a way to set a backgroung color for a report band (e.g. for the detail band)? If I select the band in iReport, there is no backcolor property as e.g. when selecting a text field.

I really miss this feature, it is available in Crystal Reports and I use it in many reports. With Crystal one can even define a condition depending upon the background should be rendered.

 

Thanks & regards,

Peter

OK, I found it out myself. Put a rectangle with the specified color in the background of your data fields, set "Opaque" checked, set the Stretch Type property to "Relative to Band Height", done.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi, sorry for the late answer - I was on vacation.

I tested this only with HTML output and unfortunately don't have any expirience how it works with the rest output formats. You could possibly try to first output as HTML and then export from it into .doc, maybe it could work then.
