Background color in styled text elements

[andrey_nado]

Hi!

I need to create text elements with background color specified in runtime. I'm trying to use styled text elements and specify "backcolor" attribute in "style" element within text expression (see sample code).

Unfortunately backcolor is only displayed under text, entire element box is not filled by desired color. How can I make JasperReports to fill entire box?

Thanks

Code:

<textField>  <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="20" />  <textElement isStyledText="true" />  <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String">    <![CDATA["<style forecolor=\"red\" backcolor=\"blue\">Sample Text</style>"]]>  </textFieldExpression></textField>

Any ideas?

My only idea is to put behind the text an box with dynamically created image of desired size & color. I'm afraid resulting documents may become too heavy for their viewers.
