Hello,

I am trying to use light gray on BIRT 2.5.0, but I am having trouble.

I have tried both "lightgrey" and also "lightgray", but neither work.

Can anyone please help?


Thank you,

Albert

Where are you trying this at? Can you explain more?

Yes, I can Michael.

I am trying to use it on an onCreate script. The following is my code:

if (row["C_A_P_NAME"] == "Retired") {
// Set to gray background
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable(BirtStr.concat(row["A_COMPID"], "highlight"), "lightgray");
}
else {
// Set to normal white background
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable(BirtStr.concat(row["A_COMPID"], "highlight"), "white");
}

[AlbertYu]

Any ideas?

Thanx.

Sorry for the delay. I'm at EclipseCon, this week. Where are you recalling this global variable to set the color?

That's OK Michael.

I am recalling the global variable on my main table's detail row's onRender script.

FYI, the global variable is being set on a sub-table of the main table's detail row's onCreate script.

Sorry again for this post getting lost in the shuffle. My guess is that "lightgray" may just not be recognized by BIRT. If you try any other color that is from the default list of colors in the property editor, does it work?

Most likely, you'll just need to use a color code for light gray instead of "lightgray".

Thank you Michael! It worked!
