Hi All,
I am trying to create an extended Report Item which would be similar =
to that of a Table having the following constriants.
a) It will have only 2 columns and user may not be able to add =
columns to it. The number of rows may vary according to the user Input.
b) The first column will contain the Header Informantion of the =
Dataset Item nad the Second column will contain the Detail part.

Any pointers regarding this would be helpful.

Thanks and Regards,
Sushant Dusad

Sushant,

Unfortunately the existing table item was not done with the extension
point. So you would have to check out the code and modify base to alter
or create a new table item.

Jason,
Thanks for the info.
But i dont want to change the BIRT source code for that.
One nore question is that how can i create a UI for an Extended Report
Item same as that of table or any other like Grid/List.
Do i need to use the FigureProvider for showing up a table item on the
layout.
Thanks and Regards
Sushant Dusad

Sushant,

As part of the extension point
org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.reportitemUI
There is an attribute
reportItemFigureUI

<!ELEMENT reportItemFigureUI EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST reportItemFigureUI

class CDATA #REQUIRED>
class - a fully qualified name of the Java class implementing
org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.extensions.IReportItemFi gureUI

This can be used to draw the design time figure.

If you check out the source there is a project for the tutorial and it
is implemented in extension-tutorial-2. You can also look at the
crosstab and chart elements as both are extended items. The crosstab
does not use the above extension point but the chart does. I believe
the crosstab uses the
org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.reportItemEditpart extension point
and is implemented in
CrosstabTableEditPart
It appears it makes use of the existing table figures so you may want to
look at it. I have not used this extension but it may be helpfull.
