Alternating Background color for Detail Records

Post Author: jbecker
CA Forum: Formula
I have found other posts concerning thing similar to this but not quite the same.  I have an 8.5 report that needs to have everyother record in the detail section to be a different color.  The problem is that it is counting all the records not the ones that are filtered out and displayed in the details section.  I have played around with the "If RecordNumber Mod 2 = 0 Then crSilver Else crNoColor" formula but it doesn't work right.  I am thinking that my formula needs to be applied last but how do I accomplish that?  Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Jerry

What I mean, excuse my newbiness, is the formula is in the formatting of the detail section which is being applied on the first pass. The bottom of the report shows the record count on the first pass and the report is showing about half as many.  Does that make sense? So my question is, how do I use your suggestion?  I am somewhat of an inexperienced user and need all the help someone can offer.
Thanks,

  • Alternating background color in details section

    I am attempting to use the alternating color feature in the details section for a listing of data, where you can alternate the color based on a condition.  What my client wants is to have the color change based on the first letter of the names, which are in alphabetical order.  At first I thought this was simple: I just put an if statement cycling through, using every other letter of the alphabet.  This worked fabulously until I realized that if there were no names for a particular letter (such as Q), that it would not alternate in that instance - the "P" and the "R" would both be white.  Does anyone have a solution to this? Is there a way I can change it based on everytime the first letter changes? Thanks in advance!

    This should do the trick for you...
    Global NumberVar x := IF RecordNumber = 1 THEN 1 ELSE x;
    Global StringVar l := IF RecordNumber = 1 THEN LEFT({TableName.LastName}, 1) ELSE l;
    x := IF l = LEFT({TableName.LastName}, 1) THEN x ELSE x + 1;
    l := LEFT({TableName.LastName}, 1);
    IF x MOD 2 = 1 THEN crSilver ELSE crNoColor;

  • Alternating background color for BC4J DataTable?

    I am surprised that I couldn't see an example of this anywhere. The documentation in the bc4j.css indicates that it is possible to "enable the alternating colors feature for the HTML Table Control", I would think this is just a checkbox somewhere. Can someone please point me to it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    We accomplished this but by changing the DataTableComponent.jsp.
    I dont think there is any checkbox which will enable this feature.

  • Alternating row color for CF report Builder?

    I have a user who wants one of her reports to display
    alternating row colors for better read clarity. The reports are
    rather lengthy and the rows tend to blend in with eachother.

    Thanks Epulfy. I am going to give this a try later today.
    Much appreciated
    EDIT:: This does work. however I'm not sure how to set a
    rectangle to the background of the report so it's behind my
    details. I draw the rectangle and it just hides whatever I want to
    display. When I look at the report it does alternate with rows, but
    I can only see details from the rows that it does not alternate on.
    Any clue how to set it to the background?

  • How can I create an alt background color for items in a jlistbox or jtree

    What I'm looking to do is have a white background for say items 1,3,5, etc. and a light yellow background for items 2,4,6, etc. I was wondering how can I set an alternative background color on items in a JTree or a JList

    Use a cell renderer:
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class ListAlternating extends JFrame
         public ListAlternating()
              String[] items = {"one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven"};
              JList list = new JList( items );
              list.setVisibleRowCount(5);
              list.setCellRenderer( new MyCellRenderer() );
              JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( list );
              getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
         public static void main(String[] args)
              ListAlternating frame = new ListAlternating();
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
              frame.pack();
              frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
              frame.setVisible( true );
         class MyCellRenderer extends DefaultListCellRenderer
              public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
                   JList list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus)
                   super.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus);
                   if (!isSelected)
                        setBackground(index % 2 == 0 ? list.getBackground() : Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
                   return this;

    Here i will get two outputs in same excel with different spread sheets,
    now i want to set background color for headers i
    ex:PARTY_ID,PARTY_NAME,AGENT_ID,TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE are the headers,in excel output i want background color as blue.
    Please do need full help,its urgent req.

    Hello,
    open the file in Excel and save it, just to ensure that Excel writes all the additional stuff it thinks is necessary.
    Now change the background colour of the header and save the file again but with a different name.
    Open both files in a text editor and look at the differences. That's what you need to change in your code.
    Alternatively you can use packages like xml_spreadsheet or ExcelDocumentType, both write the same file format that you use in your code and you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

  • Group Footer Alternating Background Color

    I have an alternating background color on my GF2, which works correctly using the code below in the section expert.  However when I add a new suppressed group (GH3/GF3) to the report, the alternating is not correct as it may skip a few instances of GF2, and then color 5 instances of GF2 in a row, etc.  GF2 is the only section that is not suppressed in the report.
    How do I correct this?
    if groupNumber mod 2 = 0 then color(235,235,235) else crNoColor

    This is expected behavior.
    Suppressed group does not mean it is not counted for GroupNumber function.
    I would suggest to modify your formula as following:
    numbervar a:=a+1;
    if a mod 2 = 0 then color(235,235,235) else crNoColor

  • How to give Common Background color for all JPanels in My Swing application

    Hi All,
    I am developing a swing application using The Swing Application Framework(SAF)(JSR 296). I this application i have multiple JPanel's embedded in a JTabbedPane. In this way i have three JTabbedPane embedded in a JFrame.
    Now is there any way to set a common background color for the all the JPanel's available in the application??
    I have tried using UIManager.put("Panel.background",new Color.PINK);. But it did not work.
    Also let me know if SAF has some inbuilt method or way to do this.
    Your inputs are valuable.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Nishanth.C

    It is not the fault of NetBeans' GUI builder, JPanels are opaque by default, I mean whether you use Netbeans or not.Thank you!
    I stand corrected (which is short for +"I jumped red-eyed on my feet and rushed to create an SSCCE to demonstrate that JPanels are... mmm... oh well, they are opaque by default... ;-[]"+)
    NetBeans's definitely innocent then, and indeed using it would be an advantage (ctrl-click all JPanels in a form and edit the common opaque property to false) over manually coding
    To handle this it would be better idea to make a subclass of JPanel and override isOpaque() to return false. Then use this 'Trasparent Panel' for all the panels where ever transparency is required.I beg to differ. From a design standpoint, I'd find it terrible (in the pejorative sense of the word) to design a subclass to inconsistently override a getter whereas the standard API already exposes the property (both get and set) for what it's meant: specify whether the panel is opaque.
    Leveraging this subclass would mean changing all lines where a would-be-transparent JPanel is currently instantiated, and instantiate the subclass instead.
    If you're editing all such lines anyway, you might as well change the explicit new JPanel() for a call to a factory method createTransparentJPanel(); this latter could, at the programmer's discretion, implement transparency whichever way makes the programmer's life easier (subclass if he pleases, although that makes me shudder, or simply call thePanel.setOpaque(false) before returning the panel). That way the "transparency" code is centralized in a single easy to maintain location.
    I had to read the code for that latter's UI classes to find out the keys to use (+Panel.background+, Label.foreground, etc.), as I happened to not find this info in an authoritative document - I see that you seem to know thoses keys, may I ask you where you got them from?
    One of best utilities I got from this forum, written by camickr makes getting these keys and their values very easy. You can get it from his blog [(->link)|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/]
    Definitely. I bit a pair of knucles off when discovered it monthes after cumbersomely traversing the BasicL&F code...
    Still, it is a matter-of-fact approach (and this time I don't mean that to sound pejorative), that works if you can test the result for a given JDK version and L&F, but doesn't guarantee that these keys are there to stand - an observation, but not a specification.
    Thanks TBM for highlighting this blog entry, that's the best keys list device I have found so far, but the questions still holds as to what specifies the keys.

  • Background color for column heading

    Hi,
    I have 5 columns in my report and I would like to have different background color for column headings. How can I do this in report templates?
    I was looking at Column heading section-
    <th class="t10ReportHeader"#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
    How can I specify backgrund colors for all columns here?
    Thanks in advance

    G'day Karen,
    Thanks for ur reply.
    I have seen this note before, its not that the header colors have changed after latest SP was applied in our systems. Also the ABAP and JAVA stacks are in sync.
    Scenario is that we are trying to set up a new Portal theme for Enterprise Reporting with some specific color codes (hex codes).
    What i have observed is Characterstics Header background color is set up using the element "Background Color of Level 1 Column Heading ".
    While the Background color for Key Figures header is using element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading ".
    But the problem is element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading " is also used as the Background color for Standard Characterstics cell, so if we make it same the whole report of the same color, which we dont want.
    Requirement is to get the same Background color for Header cells (both Char. and Key Figure headers).
    Any further suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Set property for  background color for JButton

    I am attempting to change the colors of the UI for JButton. The change does not appear to be taking. The reason appears to be that JButton, and for that matter JLabel setOpaque(false); How can I globally change this to setOpaque(true);
    Second is there a way to save the default property hash table after the changes are made so that it will run the next time the program is executed.

    Thank you for responding. I don't feel that I have been clear in the statement of the problem. I have written a medium size desktop application(20,000 statements). I am trying to customize the color scheme by modifying the default laf properties color entries. I can modify JPanel through a put to the properties hash table. When I attempt to change the background color for JLabel and JButton it doesn't seem to take. I believe that the reason it doesn't take is because opaque(false). Is there a property that allows the overide of opaque to true or do I have to change all of the numerous JButtons in my program.
    I have decided to store all changes in a file and make the changes at the point that the program initializes each time its run.
    I am not looking for specific code but an approach.
    I would appreciate your advice.

  • Defining a background color for a paragraph style

    Hello and please excuse this very basic question, but I am completely stumped.
    How do I simply define a background color for a paragraph style? I cannot use a table etc. because the styles are mapped during an XML conversion. Code lines should receive a gray background box to separate them from the text.
    Also, is there a way to force line breaks whithin words for a specific style? The text, formated in Courier, should just fill the space with a fixed width per character and break wherever the line ends.

    With some drawbacks it's doable using two paragraph tags.
    The first tag, e.g. "Line" is empty (no text), and it has a reference page graphic that's just a rectangle filled 100% with color and set to have a percentage tint so that the text will "show through" it.
    "Line" is also set to have a negative space below it, e.g. -12 points.
    "Code" paratag has the actual code text in it, and it's set to have a negative space above, e.g. -12 points.
    I've done projects where I have multiple Line paratags differing by the number of code lines needing to be shaded, e.g. Line1, Line2, Line3.
    Unfortunately there isn't a way to automatically have the line expand to the correct depth of the Code paragraph, although I believe this would probably be something that could be done as a Framescript, to run through a document and create new "line" paratags of the correct depth depending on how many Code paragraphs or lines are in the following paratag.

  • UITableView: set different background colors for header and the table

I want that to be brown instead.
    In the facebook app, above the headerview, it is a blue color and below the table is a white color. If i try and set the UITableView backgroundColor to brown, then the top will be brown, but so will the bottom. Additionally, all of the unset cells will have a brown background instead of white.
    Any help with this?

    Fixed..
