Using external CSS programmatically

I don't believe this is deprecated. Have you tried adding the code to the initialize of the report like in the devshare? What is happening when you do it as you've described above?

<p>I can not get this to work.  I need to import a external style sheet, I have looked all over the net and this thread is the only thing that I can find that seems to be what I am looking for.  What is the <span>design in "</span><span>(</span><span>ReportDesignHandle</span><span>)</span><span>design</span><span>.</span><span>getDesignHandle</span><span>();" and "</span><span>design</span><span>.</span><span>setDesignHandle</span><span>(</span><span>report</span><span>);"</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>I mean obviously it is a designHandle.  but how do I set this?</span></p>

<p>Yes I am writing a java program with the report <span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">engine and I need to be able to load</span> <span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">external CSS.</span></p>

<p>Without access to the full code I cannot be exactly sure the object type however, my guess would be that it is actually an IReportRunnable object created similar to the following:</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-">
IReportRunnable design = engine.openReportDesign("Reports/TopNPercent.rptdesign");
</pre>

<p>Are you trying to add the CSS file at run time when executing the report with the report engine or are you trying to modify and then save the report design using the design engine?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The method I indicated is for adding at runtime when using the report engine. Which means you need to define the engine object as an IReportEngine.</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-js">
IReportEngine engine = factory.createReportEngine( config );
</pre>
<p>Take a look at the report engine API (REAPI) documentation for more details: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://www.eclipse.org/birt/documentation/integrating/reapi.php'>https://www.eclipse.org/birt/documentation/integrating/reapi.php</a></p&gt;

<p>I need to add the CSS at run time and then save it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is where I define my <span style="color:rgb(102,0,102);">IReportEngine </span>engine.</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
</pre>
<div>// Configure the Engine and start the Platform</div>
<div>DesignConfig config = new DesignConfig();</div>
<div> </div>
<div>config.setProperty("BIRT_HOME",</div>
<div>"D:/Downloads/birt-runtime-4_2_2/ReportEngine");</div>
<div>IDesignEngine engine = null;</div>
<div>try {</div>
<div>Platform.startup(config);</div>
<div>IDesignEngineFactory factory = (IDesignEngineFactory) Platform</div>
<div>.createFactoryObject(IDesignEngineFactory.EXTENSION_DESIGN_ENGINE_FACTORY);</div>
<div> </div>
<div>engine = factory.createDesignEngine(config);</div>
<div>} catch (Exception ex) {</div>
<div>ex.printStackTrace();</div>
<div>}</div>

<p>This looks to be a bit tricky as the get getDesignHandle() method is showing as deprecated in some classes and not in others in the documentation. It does looks like the getDesignHandle() method has been deprecated in the org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.DesignElementHandle class and has been replaced with getModuleHandle().</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As it looks to me like that is the class you are using, I would change up your code to be using getModuleHandle() instead so you aren't using a deprecated method.</p>
