How to get the object handle of Elements?

2006-01-16 13:02

Hi, folks, I am trying to change the properties of elements (like TextFields, Lines, Rectangles, etc.) on a report by coding (not through designers for flexibility purpose), and my idea is the following:

 

using

JasperDesign jd = (JasperDesign)JRXmlLoader.load("report.jrxml");

to get the JasperDesign object, and then return the element handle individually, but how come that there is no such methods in the JasperDesign class? Or I should try some other ways?

 

Thanks guys, I really need help!

JRBand= JasperDesign.getDetail()

JRBand.getElementByKey()

 

see API DOC of JRBand, JRDesignElements,

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRElementGroup

 

also see the example demo/samples/noxmldesign
