How to get values of table cell's children

kallem

Hi,

I have been trying to create a custom html emitter which extends existing html emitter. I have a report which contains a table. Most of the cells use basic data items but in some I'd like to add custom content based on data the cell data.

I have been trying to do this by adding hidden data items in the cell. I interpret parsing in my emitter using startCell(ICellContent) and then access cell's children through ICellContent.getGenerateBy. I get to extract child element properties but I didn't find any method to get value of the child. How can it be retrieved?

On the other hand the above isn't exactly the preferred way. It sounds better if I can just access data set values in specific cell but unfortunately I didn't find a way to do this. Would it be possible?

Thanks in advance,
Kalle

Kalle,

Not sure if this is helpful, but you can access the data rows (bound column values) like:

try{
IBaseResultSet brs =cell.getResultSet();
QueryResults irs = (QueryResults) brs.getQueryResults();
IResultIterator ri = irs.getResultIterator( );
while ( ri.next( ) )
{
System.out.println(ri.getValue("ORDERNUMBER" ));
}
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("error");
}
