Copying design from one band to another

2006-02-16 06:50

Hi,

I want to copy the design of a band of one report to another report.

 

I currently have the following code, which seems to work fine, but I was wondering if need to call getCopy() instead of adding the JRDesignElement right away. If so, I need to pass in a JRAbstractObjectFactory, how can I retrieve one?

 

private void replaceBand(JRDesignBand originalBand, JRDesignBand newBand) {

if(newBand.getElements().length > 0) {

for(JRElement element : originalBand.getElements()) {

if(element instanceof JRDesignElement) {

JRDesignElement designElement = (JRDesignElement) element;

originalBand.removeElement(designElement);

}

}

originalBand.setHeight(newBand.getHeight());

for(JRElement element : newBand.getElements()) {

if(element instanceof JRDesignElement) {

JRDesignElement designElement = (JRDesignElement) element;

originalBand.addElement(designElement);

}

}

}

}

 

kind regards,

Christiaan
