hiding fields and labels in IReports

[shwe]

I have got a table with field names "print_field" and "field_name" where print_field contains a boolean value (true/false) and field_name contains a field name. Now in iReports I want to hide the field which has the "print_field" value false (i.e. value in the print_field field is false)

 

How can I write conditional statement to check the field_name name and value in print_field field.

 

Here is how the database is:

 

field_name print_field

-------------------------------------

cust_id true

cust_name true

cust_email false

 

Now I've placed a text field in iReports I want to hide all fields with print_field value false.

In your textfield -> print When Expression type the following:

 

new Boolean (!$F{print_field}.equals(Boolean.FALSE) ?)

 

It will return 'false'(won't print) if print_field=false;

It will return 'true'(and print) if print_field=true;
