Setting field color dynamically

2002-10-24 07:49

I like to set the field color dynamically when filling the report data. So i tried to do the following thing: I'm passing a field with name Color which contains the color as String, for Example "#FF0000". In the xml file have done forecolor = $F{Color}, but I got a compiler error.

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "$F{Color}"

 

What is the best way to pass field color dynamically?

 

Thank you very much.
