Alter report in runtime

[tinti]

I have a band that iterates over the records of a particular table.

The report should print the value of a table field, for example, the user name.

The user name field of the table, can bring value containing the following:

 

#BOLD#Sample1

#ITALIC#Sample2

#UNDERLINE#Sample3

 

According to the value that comes from the field, should I format the text on the label in a different way.

For that I need to change the formatting of the label in each iteration of the band.

 

Is it possible?

Not the best solution but I think it works...

 

Use three fields (f1, f2, f3) on the same place (coordinates).

f1 has #BOLD# style

f2 has #ITALIC# style

f3 has #UNDERLINE# style

Set the printWhenExpression of each fields.

There is a sampe on jasperforge.org:

http://jasperforge.org//uploads/publish/jasperreportswebsite/trunk/samples/FirstJasper.jrxml

http://jasperforge.org//uploads/publish/jasperreportswebsite/trunk/samples/FirstJasper.pdf

Search for the printWhenExpression element int the jrxml file.

 

I hope it helps...

You can also use conditional styles or styled text.  In either case, you'd need to do some processing on the text to extract the style information from the text.
