What do you mean the page number should change with the change of groups? Like, if you had a 4 page group and then a 3 page group, it'd be:

1of4
2of4
etc
1of3
...
?

Or something else?

Hi Williams
You got it right, and i got it solved from one of the examples posted by you .
But the problem is the page number is working fine when i use it in master page ,but sticks to "1" in case i use it in report layout(while taking PDF ,it is working fine in web viewer).

Also I want to hide some of the grids based on these page numbers like i want to hide the grid if page number is "1" and display when page number is "2".

Thanks in Advance
Vineet .

The PDF output from the designer uses the runandrender task rather than using them separately, like the web viewer does. In the newer versions, if you export from the viewer, you'll get the same output as the viewer. In 2.3.2, there might have been an issue with this. To hide the elements you don't want, have you tried checking your page number variable in the onRender and setting the display style property to "none" when you're on a page you don't want to display the element?

Hi vinit
It seems to be a bug of BIRT 2.3.2.

mwilliams

Where are you putting your grid? If you have the grid in your masterpage footer, you can check the pageNumber in the onRender method and set the display style to "none" when pageNumber !=1. Can you attach a design made with the sample database that I can run where this doesn't work for you?

Vineet Joshi

HI mike,

Thanks for your attention,

I want to hide lable on first page and show on all remaining pages of same group.
I am getting desire output in web viewer (check script on render) but not getting on pdf which is required.

Please check the pdf

Thanks
Vineet

piwya is correct, this is a bug in 2.3.2 where the onRender is only called once per group header. The header is just repeated for the remaining pages in that group. This is different in newer versions, I believe. I tried several ways to get around this with no success. If you can use the masterpage to display this rather than the group header or if you can upgrade, you might be able to get it done.

Hi Williams 
 
As discussed above . we have issue with onRender method in Pdf. I was thinking way around and got some success in doing it. 
 
I used pageBreak method wtih onrednder to show Particular label on first page and hide them on later page of same group (this.getStyle.display = "NONE" script used in page break). 
 
 
and it worked for both viewer and pdf . 
 
But now issue is it dint work in reverse case means when we want to show that label on other pages other then first. 
 
Do we have any way to made (method ) hidden label or grid to be visible which could be used page break method. so it could work in both viewer and PDF. (Something like this.getStyle.display = "DISPLAY") 
 
 
regards

lrnit - What is your BIRT version? I know there have been various bugs with using pageNumber throughout the various versions. Let me know, I'll take a look. You're talking in the masterpage, right?

Vineet - I did think of a workaround that might work for you on hiding this element in the group header. If you can create a group inside the current group that is just an interval grouping, and make the interval just large enough so that the rows will definitely fit on a page, you'll have a new group header for every single page that you can work with, therefore, you should be able to hide it in PDF as well. Let me know if you need help with this.

Hi Williams

Pls Send me a sample if that is possible .
As Irnit Asked ,is it possible to hide a label on first page and display it on other pages of same group .

Thanks
Vineet
