[GroupCount ?]

But how does it looks when I have a say StateGroup into which CityGroup is embedded :(

 

How would you then implement the counter :unsure:

 

The CityNo should always start from the begin with each new state.

 

Any hints?

[GroupCount ?]

Great solution, that was the trick I was looking for :woohoo:

Calm down.

 

First of all I did help myself in this thread :) .

 

Second, I was very nice to share my wisdom here, and this even for FREE ;) .

 

Third, don't you think you should restrain yourself a little bit before insulting me :sick: ?

 

I think the emoticons I used in my posts all speak for themselfs. If YOU feel upset send a private message to me but don't do it in public, if you want beware your social behavior.

Nice, now we have two ways for solving this problem :woohoo: .

[How to implement a conversion method?]

Ok, seems that I had to answer this question myself :S .

 

I got my own class integrated with iReport and share the steps with you as shown below:

 

go to your jasperreports home directory

go to the lib directory and copy jdt-compiler-3.1.1.jar into your clipboard

go to your iReport home directory and paste jdt-compiler-3.1.1.jar into the lib directory

rename or delete the original file jdt-compiler.jar

start your iReport

go to the file menu Tools->Options and click the Compiler tab folder

Under Compiler select JDT Compiler (need jdt-compiler.jar) and click Save

to add your class to iReport's classpath, go to menu Tools->Classpath

add your own class and click on Save classpath

[/ol]

 

I do this broad explanation because I saw this similar question asked again and again. This feature of using one's own class is not well documented (at least I couldn't find a hint :blink:).

 

When one moderator read this, I recommend that we create a FAQ list with common problem solutions explained like this one.

[How to implement a conversion method?]

There is a very nice thread from the JasperReports Discussion/Help forum rename values/Months which seems to solve my problem :woohoo: .

 

I thought I could do all editing stuff from inside iReport (I use v1.1.0) but that's obviously not the case at least not for the version I use.

 

But since there is this wonderful .jrxml file one can do some editing like adding an <import .... /> and so bypassing iReport's weakness.

 

So far the theory, I'll have to check that out :sick: .

:woohoo: . I'm not sure whether the question is too hard or too easy.

 

Let me know :cheer:

Any hints :dry: ?

[How to create a band?]

fine :)

[How to create a band?]

Hi,

 

create a new group. Go to your iReport file menu, click on View and submenu Report Groups. There you can add a new group which gives you three new bands (one for header, detail and footer)

[How to implement a conversion method?]

It seems that I wasn't clear with my question :unsure: .

 

The $P{myLongParameter}.toString() is too less.

 

I have a method that displays the duration, say

public String getDuration(long l) {...}. This method displays the duration as I want it to be displayed.

 

The question is now, how can I make this method known to iReport?

Darya

[How to implement a conversion method?]

Hi,

 

I want to convert a long value into a String (for a patternized duration) and have a method which does right this conversion.

 

But how on earth can implement or use this method in iReport :whistle: ?

 

Any hints are welcome :)

[How to resize field for multiline text?]

feel free :)

[How to resize field for multiline text?]

Any comments :unsure: ?

[How to resize field for multiline text?]

Hi,

I have a report similar to a table. Each row is based on one subreport that defines a row and its fields.

Is their a way a field grows with the length of text?

What about multiline texts? How can I fit them into a field?

Any hints are welcome :woohoo:

[Is iReport backward compatible]

Hi,

 

is iReport backward compatibel? For example can I use iReport-1.2.5 with jasperreports-1.1.1.jar :unsure:

[How to set rectangle background color w/ iReport]

Where on earth is the background color in Element Window or Element Properties :unsure: ?

 

As I said I'm talking about iReport-1.1.0.

[How to set rectangle background color w/ iReport]

This question still needs an answer, even when the answer is NO :pinch: .

[setting backcolor at runtime for a text]

Giulio, you forgot that I stuck with iReport-1.1.0

 

What you say seems to work with the latest iReport-1.2.5 release and I am not sure whether I can use this latest release because I depend on jasperreports-1.1.1.jar.

 

Anyway, I should give it a try first.

[setting backcolor at runtime for a text]

conditionalStyle sound more intelligent :woohoo: (sorry Monika ;) , I'll use your approach as fallback in case Giulio's apprach doesn't work for me.)

 

Giulio, can you elaborate a little bit more what I need to do?

 

Regards,

Darya

[setting backcolor at runtime for a text]

What do you mean by conditional stylesheet :sick: . I could follow Monika. But I don't know how a conditional stylesheet works here.

 

Isn't iReport creating the whole thing?

 

Anyway Monika's way sounds good for me, I only have the problem that I don't know how to set the background color for my 2nd rectangle. At least not with iReport-1.1.0 :(

 

Is it possible at all. Or do I have to add the background color by hand in iReports' created .jrxml file?

 

I can't simply upgrade to iReports-1.2.5 because I depend on JasperReports jasperreports-1.1.1.jar JAR file and have no authority to change that :whistle: .

Hi Monika,

 

Thanks a lot for the tip. Can you tell me what iReport version you use? I use iReport-1.1.0 and there is no way to set the backcolor :unsure: .
