Make Each Grid Column Exactly 33% of Parent?

jmasterx

Hi

I'm working on a vertical crosstab report.

The problem is I need 2 additional columns after the Column Total. My solution is to create a grid in each row with 3 columns.

The problem is that I need to also add borders to these so everything needs to line up correctly. Thus I need each column of these grids to take up exactly 33% of the parent width. Currently their width changes based on the context inside. I cannot have this. The only thing I can think of is fixed column widths but if 20 year old html tables can do what I want then BIRT must have a way.

Thanks

You could change the width in the beforeFactory() with something like this<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>pgrid = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("parentgrid");
cgrid = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("childgrid");

cgrid.setProperty("width", "33%");</pre>
<br />
You'd just need to remember to change the name of each grid.
