All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, EventListener, PageEventListener, ReportListener, Expression, Function, LayoutProcessorFunction

public class RowBandingFunction
extends AbstractFunction
implements PageEventListener, LayoutProcessorFunction

A function that alternates the background-color for each item-band within a group. If the function evaluates to true, then the background of the named element will be set to the visible-color, else it will be set to the invisible-color.

The ElementVisibilitySwitchFunction defines two parameters:

• element

  The name of the element in the itemband that should be modified. The element(s) must be named using the "name" attribute, if no name is given here, the ItemBand's background color is defined instead.

• initial-state

  The initial state of the function. (true or false) defaults to false. This is the reverse of the element's visiblity (set to false to start with an visible element, set to true to hide the element in the first itemrow).

Constructor Detail

RowBandingFunction

public RowBandingFunction()

Default constructor.

Method Detail

pageStarted

public void pageStarted(ReportEvent event)

Receives notification that a page has started.

Specified by:

pageStarted in interface PageEventListener

Parameters:

event - the event.

pageFinished

public void pageFinished(ReportEvent event)

Receives notification that a page is completed.

Specified by:

pageFinished in interface PageEventListener

Parameters:

event - The event.

reportInitialized

public void reportInitialized(ReportEvent event)

Receives notification that report generation initializes the current run.

The event carries a ReportState.Started state. Use this to initialize the report.

Specified by:

reportInitialized in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

reportInitialized in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - The event.

itemsStarted

public void itemsStarted(ReportEvent event)

Receives notification that the items are being processed. Sets the function value to false.

Following this event, there will be a sequence of itemsAdvanced events until the itemsFinished event is raised.

Specified by:

itemsStarted in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

itemsStarted in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - Information about the event.

itemsAdvanced

public void itemsAdvanced(ReportEvent event)

Triggers the visibility of an element. If the named element was visible at the last itemsAdvanced call, it gets now invisible and vice versa. This creates the effect, that an element is printed every other line.

Specified by:

itemsAdvanced in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

itemsAdvanced in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - the report event.

groupStarted

public void groupStarted(ReportEvent event)

Description copied from class: AbstractFunction

Receives notification that a group has started.

Specified by:

groupStarted in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

groupStarted in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - the event.

summaryRowSelection

public void summaryRowSelection(ReportEvent event)

Description copied from class: AbstractFunction

A crosstab specific event notifying crosstab-aware functions to select the result for the summary row cell that will be printed next.

Specified by:

summaryRowSelection in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

summaryRowSelection in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - The report event.

isIgnoreCrosstabMode

public boolean isIgnoreCrosstabMode()

setIgnoreCrosstabMode

public void setIgnoreCrosstabMode(boolean ignoreCrosstabMode)

getInvisibleBackground

public Color getInvisibleBackground()

Returns the background color that is used if the row-banding background should be invisible.

Returns:

a color.

setInvisibleBackground

public void setInvisibleBackground(Color invisibleBackground)

Defines the background color that is used if the row-banding background should be invisible.

Parameters:

invisibleBackground - a color.

getVisibleBackground

public Color getVisibleBackground()

Returns the background color that is used if the row-banding background should be visible.

Returns:

a color.

setVisibleBackground

public void setVisibleBackground(Color visibleBackground)

Defines the background color that is used if the row-banding background should be visible.

Parameters:

visibleBackground - a color.

getNumberOfElements

public int getNumberOfElements()

Returns the number of rows that must be processed before the visibility can switch again.

Returns:

a row count.

setNumberOfElements

public void setNumberOfElements(int numberOfElements)

Defines the number of rows that must be processed before the visibility can switch again.

Parameters:

numberOfElements - a row count.

getInitialState

public boolean getInitialState()

Returns the initial visibility that is used on the start of a new report, a new group or a new page.

Returns:

the initial value for the trigger.

setInitialState

public void setInitialState(boolean initialState)

Defines the initial visibility that is used on the start of a new report, a new group or a new page.

Parameters:

initialState - the initial value for the trigger.

setElement

public void setElement(String name)

Sets the element name. The name denotes an element or band within the root-band or the root-band itself. It is possible to define multiple elements with the same name to apply the modification to all of these elements.

Parameters:

name - The element name.

The element name.

See Also:

setElement(String)

getGroup

getNewPageState

public Boolean getNewPageState()

Returns the visibility state that should be used on new pages. This is only used if resetOnPageStart is set to true. If this value is not defined, the initialState is used.

Returns:

public void setNewPageState(Boolean newPageState)

Defines the visibility state that should be used on new pages. This is only used if resetOnPageStart is set to true. If this value is not defined, the initialState is used.
