Back Color & Fore Color Change

[atharindhi]

Hi All,

I want to change the Field's Back color and Fore Color when the code changes..
How can i do this.

Can i pass the Hexadecimal color code as a parameter

I cant use the Print When expression bacause the user can add new colors to the codes..
So Expression won't help here.

The Hexadecimal code is the only way to pass the tow colors (Im using Fore Color because when comes to dark colors the default black color fonts won't display properly )

 

Any help would be a appreciated

You cant use fields/variables for setting fg/bg colors on elements...

 

If you dont want to use styled text, my best solution so far, is to create a 1x1 buffered java awt image, and set this as an available field. You can then use this image along with fill-frame to set a nice bg color defined at runtime...

 

E.g:

 

<image scaleImage="FillFrame">
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="71" height="15"/>
<imageExpression class="java.awt.Image"><![CDATA[$F{image}]]></imageExpression>
</image>

 

Hope this helps...
