JRBox not showing padding

[bastieng]

I'm trying to set padding on a box programmaticaly with the code below. But the changes in padding are not being reflected in the output when I generate the report. Why would the padding parameters be ignored? This box is set as a text fields box when the field is added to the report.

 

private JRBaseBox setBox( byte border,

byte bottomBorder,

byte leftBorder,

byte rightBorder,

byte topBorder,

Integer leftPad,

Integer rightPad,

Color color)

 

{

JRBaseBox box = new JRBaseBox();

box.setBorder(border);

box.setBottomBorder(bottomBorder);

box.setLeftBorder(leftBorder);

box.setRightBorder(rightBorder);

 

box.setLeftPadding(leftPad);

box.setRightPadding(rightPad);

 

box.setTopBorder(topBorder);

box.setBorderColor(color);

return box;

}

Stupid...you gotta write the JRBox border and padding to the actual field object.
