Cancel an element's rendering [message #1239273]

Hi, I have a report with three tables of which only one is supposed to be visible at once. I did that because we have three separate groups of customers and the layouts are different for each group.

Anyway, right now, the report works, but I realized that setting the "visibility" property to show only one of the tables means the two other tables will still be rendered even though they're not visible resulting in a lot of unnecessary treatment.

So, I was wondering if it's possible to either cancel an element's "render" event or just delete an element dynamically through scripting.

Thanks in advance,

Osu

Hi,

The key point is to set a name to the elements we want to remove dynamically. Then we can do something like this in the "beforeFactory" script:

var myelement = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("myElementName");

myelement.drop();

Here is a full example of the beforeFactory method, where we drop some elements based on report parameters:

var fiche = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("tableFiche");
var stock = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("tableStock");
var ventes = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("tableVentes");

/**************HANDLE DISPLAYED ITEMS ********************/

if (params["Vue"].value == "fiche"){
	stock.drop();
	ventes.drop();
}else if(params["Vue"].value=="stock"){
	fiche.drop();
	ventes.drop();
}else if(params["Vue"].value=="ventes"){
	stock.drop();
	fiche.drop();
}
