getting Data Element value in onCreate event [message #777893]

Hi All,

I am new to Eclipse BIRT. I want to get the data element value in onCreate event of this element and assign to a global variable. Also i would like to access the value of this global variable in beforeRender event of the Report.

I have tried several ways but no luck.

Please help me out.

Thanks & Regards
Madhan

If you are previewing in the designer the beforeRender event will fire
before the oncreate events for data elements. If you preview using the
web viewer it will fire like you want it to. In the oncreate use:

reportContext.setGlobalVariable("myvar",this.getValue());
or
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("myvar",this.getValue());

and in the beforeRendering

var tst = reportContext.getGlobalVariable("myvar");
or
var tst = reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("myvar");

See :
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/reportScripting.php

for details on event order.
