public class FieldElement
extends AbstractValueElement
implements ParagraphProperties, TextProperties, TextInterpretationProperties, com.inet.report.ReferenceHolder, HyperlinkProperties

A FieldElement is an object like a label but the content of it comes dynamically from a field, i.e. a DatabaseField, FormulaField, PromptField etc. With this class you can add a dynamic content into a section of your report. Add an instance of this class with method Section.addFieldElement(Field, int, int, int, int) in class Section. If you want to insert a field into a Text using this class is wrong, use FieldPart.

code example: adding a dynamic content to the detail section

Fields fields = engine.getFields();
Area area = engine.getArea("D");
Section section = area.getSection(0);
FieldElement fElem = section.addFieldElement(fields.getDatabaseField(0),0,0,1000,220);

code example: get existing FieldElements and change the property color

Area area = engine.getArea("D");
Section section = area.getSection(0);
Vector elementsV = section.getElementsV();
for(int i=0;i< elementsV.size();i++){
Element elem = (Element)elementsV.elementAt(i);
if(elem instanceof FieldElement){
FieldElement fElem = (FieldElement)elem;
fElem.setFontColor(CoderXML.COLOR_RED);
}
}

If you need a destined FieldElement you have to check some properties, to be sure having the right one.
Note that the properties for number and currency formats does not take effect when the property 'use system default format' is set. Changes at properties for date/time/datetime does not take effect when the property 'date windows default type' is set to a short or long default format.

This class is part of the RDC.

public FormulaField getLineSpacingAbsoluteFormula()

Returns the formula whose return value determines the absolute distance between baselines of the lines in this paragraph, measured in twips.

Specified by:

getLineSpacingAbsoluteFormula in interface ParagraphProperties

Returns:

Absolute distance between baselines in this paragraph, measured in twips

See Also:

ParagraphProperties.setLineSpacingAbsolute(int)

getLineSpacingRelativeFormula

public FormulaField getLineSpacingRelativeFormula()

Returns the formula whose return value determines the factor by which the default line spacing is to be multiplied for this paragraph. The default line spacing is determined by font and font size, and is then multiplied by this formula's value.

Specified by:

getLineSpacingRelativeFormula in interface ParagraphProperties

Returns:

formula whose return value determines the factor by which the default line spacing is to be multiplied for this paragraph

See Also:

ParagraphProperties.getLineSpacingRelative()

public FormulaField getRightIndentFormula()

Returns the formula whose return value determines the property 'right indent'. This is the distance that the the paragraph is indented from the right margin of the element (in twips).

Specified by:

getRightIndentFormula in interface ParagraphProperties

Returns:

The formula whose return value determines the property 'right indent'.

setFirstLineIndentFormula

public void setFirstLineIndentFormula(FormulaField formula)

Parameters:

formula - The formula whose return value determines the property 'first line indent'.

setLeftIndentFormula

public void setLeftIndentFormula(FormulaField formula)

Sets the formula whose return value determines the property 'left indent'. This is the distance that the the paragraph is indented from the left margin of the element (in twips).

Specified by:

See Also:

ParagraphProperties.setLineSpacingAbsolute(int)

setLineSpacingRelativeFormula

public void setLineSpacingRelativeFormula(FormulaField formula)

Sets the formula whose return value determines the factor by which the default line spacing is to be multiplied for this paragraph. The default line spacing is determined by font and font size, and is then multiplied by this formula's value.

Specified by:

parseElement

public NodeParser parseElement(com.inet.report.parser.XMLTag group,
                               java.lang.String tag,
                               org.xml.sax.Attributes atts,
                               java.util.Map parserMap)
                        throws FatalParserException

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Internal method for reading report XML

Parses an XML node with the given information, and returns either a sub-element which was created as a result, or null if no sub-element was created, i.e. the information was applied to the ReportComponent itself. Note that the parsing is highly tolerant, i.e. exceptions are intercepted and suppressed if at all possible.

Specified by:

parseElement in interface NodeParser

Overrides:

parseElement in class AbstractValueElement

Parameters:

group - XMLTag of the current node to be parsed, or null if there is no such current group. An XMLTag is a group of nodes bundled together, usually it is a Properties node such as CommonProperties, BorderProperties, etc.

tag - The XMLTag to be parsed

atts - The set of attributes in the current XMLTag

parserMap - The map of current Parser.

Returns:

The NodeParser sub-element if one needed to be created, or null if none was created.

Throws:

FatalParserException - if an exception occurs which causes the report to not be able to be read: causes the abortion of the reading of the report.

parseEndElement

public void parseEndElement(com.inet.report.parser.XMLTag group,
                            java.lang.String tag,
                            java.util.Map parserMap)
                     throws FatalParserException

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Internal method for reading report XML

Receive notification of the end of an XML tag.

Specified by:

parseEndElement in interface NodeParser

Parameters:

group - XMLTag of the current node to be parsed, or null if there is no such current group.

tag - The XMLTag to be parsed

parserMap - The map of current Parser.

Throws:

FatalParserException - if an exception occurs which causes the report to not be able to be read: causes the abortion of the reading of the report.

parseText

public void parseText(java.lang.String text,
                      java.util.Map parserMap)

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Internal method for reading report XML

This method is called if text was encountered in the context of this node. (Examples would be a formula's text or a text element's text)

Specified by:

parseText in interface NodeParser

Parameters:

text - text encountered and to be stored

parserMap - The map of current Parser.
