I am trying to get a display of the height of a control.
i have tried using this.text = this.height; but this does not work.

and also when i try to do this.height = "0in"; nothing seems to happen, the control still displays the text.
any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi LetsBIRT,

Where are you putting the script on the element? I'm using BIRT 2.3 and this.height = "0in"; works on the label I tested it on. What version of BIRT are you using?

On the this.text = this.height question. If you haven't set a height for the report item, the height variable will be null. It doesn't return the actual render height. If you set the height, that should work for you.

Hope this helps.

the this.text = this.height workd, thank you !

but for the this.height = "0in" , its not working.
I tried to write the script on both onPrepare and onCreate of the data element, but it still displays the value.
Please help.
Thanks

It seems to work just fine for me in the onRender and onCreate sections in BIRT 2.2.2. Are you trying to do this to a label or another report item?

LetsBIRT

Its a label. For some reason its not able to supress the contents.
Do i have to change any other settings?(like i did for this.text = this.height?)

mwilliams

I didn't have to do set anything else. I just put...

this.height = "0in";

...in the onRender, onCreate, or onPrepare method section of the script and it worked.
