Set Color Dynamically

[hussainian]

Hi!

I want to dynamically change the foreColor of a field based upon the value of the field. For example, a field from the query is STATUS. I want that STATUS to be displayed in color RED when its value is 'V' and the forecolor must be Black when the value is 'O'. Please guide me. Can properties expression do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

 

 Use styles for this purpose.Refer to the example given in <JasperReports-version>\demo\samples\styledtext

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

Conditional styles are an option as well:

Check the /demo/samples/jasper sample to see the order ID in red depending on a condition.

 

I hope this helps.
