Modify style in Javascript [message #53057]

I am trying to modify the style of a data item in a report. I have set
the onCreate method of the Data item to the following, each in a
separate run:

this.color="red";
itemDesign.color="red";
this.setColor("red");
itemDesign.setColor("red");
etc.

There appears to be no effect when the report is previewed. I have
debugged it far enough to see the script being executed, but the
DataItem Java object never appears to be changed by the script.

Does anyone have examples that use the JavaScript methods on report
elements? Is the syntax above correct?

I reported a bug (#102496) that the onRender method of a Data element is
never called. I was able to determine through debugging that onRender is
never called but onCreate is called for a Data item.

Currently, changing various properties at runtime is only supported for
data-related features.
