Creating table programmatically

Hi 
Is it possible to alter a table created dynamically in the 'onFetch' event of a dataset? 
 
I have a table which is created in the 'initialize' method at the 'Generation' phase. I tried changing the header text during the 'onFetch' event of the dataset but it does not show the updated value. Here is the code snippet 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
headerCellHandle = (CellHandle) headerHandle.getCells().get(rownum.intValue());
label = factory.newLabel("L"+rownum.intValue());
label.setText(row.getColumnValue(5).toString());
headerCellHandle.clearContents(0);
headerCellHandle.getContent().add(label);
</pre>
 
Is it possible to do it during the 'onFetch' event or it needs to be done during the 'initialize' event or I am doing something wrong? 
 
Thanks

Hi devp, 
 
I don't know that the onFetch method is where you want to do this change. Here's a link to a report design from the devShare that works with changing a report dynamically using the DEAPI. It should help you figure out where you should make your changes.

Hope this helps.
