Alignment of column with string and number.

2003-03-12 04:09

Hello,

 

I have a column with values that could be

a String or could be a Number.

I would like the alignment to be left-adjusted

if it is a String and right-adjusted if it is a

Number.

 

Is this possible ?

 

Kees.

It would be nice to have the following :

 

An object JRFieldValue which could

be returned from the method getFieldValue()

(from interface JRDataSource).

This object holds the value but also properties

like alignment, foregroundcolor, backgroundcolor

etc.

 

 

Kees.

Hi,

 

The only solution (at least for the moment)

is to switch between two different text fields using

their <printWhenExpression> like explained here:

I hope this helps.
