Shading evry second line in DETAIL band

[jkeri]

My user wants every second line in DETAIL band shaded. Any one have any clue how to do this?

A common feature request. The key is using the $V{REPORT_COUNT} variable that's built in to every report in conjunction with a <style> element. Check out this solution at stack overflow:

I found an even easier way to do this:

1- create a rectangle around the area to be shaded.

2- push rectangle to the back of the band

3- create a 'PRINT WHEN TEXT EXPRESSION' for the band. Use the following:

new Boolean($V{PAGE_COUNT}.intValue()%2==0)

Be sure to set Stretch Type property to "Relative to Band Height" when using jkeri's method. :-)
