Setting the style programmatically through BIRT

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to set the style programmatically the BIRT scripting. I am creating a dynamic table and need the styles to come in on fields and rows. I see a thread to do this through CSS, but i am not using style sheets.

Thanks,

timotee

Hi timotee,

In the script for your table or whatever report item you can use the script:

this.getStyle().Property_You_Want_To_Change = "Property_Value";

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply Michael and sorry if I wasn't clear. I was referring to the user defined styles or Themes you can set in BIRT.

You can do this in the report initialize function :
elem = reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("mylabel");
elem.setProperty("style", "Main Header");

Where "mylabel" is the name of the element you want to apply the style to, and "Main Header" is the name of the style definition.

That worked! Thanks so much Lived_Ip.

Take a look at this previous post on adding an external CSS file for the overall report design: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/topic/36600-using-external-css-programmatically/'>http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/topic/36600-using-external-css-programmatically/</a>
