Hi All
I'm trying to put in the footer of my master page the variables Page and TotalPageCount
So for that I add a grid with just one column one row, then I aligned it to the left..I was able to do that, but it shows like this
1
of
1
I want this instead 1/1
If I use Page n of m i got something like this
1 of 1
I couldn't get rid of the spaces ....
Thanks in advance for your help.
JulioC.

For the grid where you have one column and one row, select each item and go to the general tab in the property editor and change the "display" setting from "block" to "inline". This should get them on the same row. Let me know.

Where do you find those Page and TotalPageCount variables ? I tried to search BIRT Report Designer help without success.
I also found following code snippet:
<page-footer>
<text id="403">
<property name="textAlign">right</property>
<method name="onRender">
this.text = "Page " + pageNumber + " of " + totalPage;
</method>
<property name="contentType">html</property>
</text>
</page-footer>
No idea where those pageNumber and totalPage comes from or how to build such footer with Report Designer thought.

Hi
First of all I'm using BIRT 2.6.2
In your report go to the master page
Then choose the palette tab tools, there you will see the autotext variables, under it you have a bunch of variables that you can use in your master page only.
Thanks for the code, I believe it will work when is used in the layout of the report.
Regards
JulioC.

Yes the top fragment will work when you attach this on the footer of
the master page, under scripting , and onRender event. Equivalently this code
is similar to something I wrote here
public void createPageFooterUsingScripting() throws SemanticException{
SimpleMasterPageHandle masterPageHandle = design.getElementFactory().newSimpleMasterPage(null);
GridHandle footerGrid = design.getElementFactory().newGridItem(null/* name */,1 , 1 );
ColumnHandle colHandle = (ColumnHandle) footerGrid.getColumns().get(0);
RowHandle row01 = (RowHandle) footerGrid.getRows().get(0);
CellHandle cell1 = (CellHandle) row01.getCells().get(0);
TextItemHandle textItem = design.getElementFactory().newTextItem(null);
textItem.setProperty(DesignChoiceConstants.CHOICE_TEXT_ALIGN, DesignChoiceConstants.TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT);
textItem.setContentType(DesignChoiceConstants.TEXT_CONTENT_TYPE_HTML);
String pageFooterExpression = "this.text = \"Page \" + pageNumber + \" of \" + totalPage ";
textItem.setOnRender(pageFooterExpression);
cell1.getContent().add(textItem);
masterPageHandle.getSlot(ISimpleMasterPageModel.PAGE_FOOTER_SLOT).add(footerGrid);
design.getMasterPages().add(masterPageHandle);
}
