Hiding empty rows in a cross tab [message #518550]

Greetings everyone.

I am looking for a solution to hide empty rows in a crosstab, using java event handlers. (the 'row' may contain elements from several groups and a summary field)

My problem is that I did not found any suitable event handler to extend, or a 'crosstab' javscript object in the documentation.

Any hint or advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

Damian,

There is a property for hiding empty rows. Select the crosstab, then
the property editor, then Empty Rows/Columns.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Another question: is there any way that, while using BIRT report viewer from eclipse, I could print some output to the eclipse console?

If I call System.out from any part of the report, nothing happens.

Thanks, this is one method I used - 'dirty' to say at least Smile

I am using swing JFrame to output text atm, but I am still not pleased.

I wonder why System.out does not write to eclipse's embedded console. I think it's locked by BIRT's own logging framework.
If so, maybe we could hook into it..
