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

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.

6.0

getFirstLineIndentFormula

public FormulaField getFirstLineIndentFormula()

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

Specified by:

getFirstLineIndentFormula in interface ParagraphProperties

Returns:

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

getLeftIndentFormula

public FormulaField getLeftIndentFormula()

Returns 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:

getLeftIndentFormula in interface ParagraphProperties

Returns:

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

getLineSpacingAbsoluteFormula

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()

getRightIndentFormula

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)

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

Specified by:

setFirstLineIndentFormula in interface ParagraphProperties

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:

setLeftIndentFormula in interface ParagraphProperties

Parameters:

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

formula - formula whose return value determines the absolute distance between baselines in this paragraph, measured in twips

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:

setLineSpacingRelativeFormula in interface ParagraphProperties

Parameters:

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

setRightIndentFormula

public void setRightIndentFormula(FormulaField formula)

Sets 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:

setRightIndentFormula in interface ParagraphProperties

Parameters:

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

getSubComponents

public java.util.List<? extends ReportComponent> getSubComponents()

Returns all ReportComponents that are descendants of this one. E.G. this will return all Element of a Section. But it's as well useful for CrossTabs or Text elements which have additional elements.

Specified by:

getSubComponents in class ReportComponent

Returns:

a list with all sub components which can be empty as well; will be null if the component has no descendants
