Table row highlight using API [message #181226]

I've been trying to add highlight to my table using the API. So far I've
managed to get conditional rowhighlighting using the setOnCreate-method like
this:

detail
.setOnCreate("if( this.getRowData().getExpressionValue(1)%2 ==
0){this.style.backgroundColor = \"#eff3ff\";}");

But I can't seem to do the equivalent using highlight rules in styles. What
I want to do is add a highligt rule to my style, and be able to apply it to
multiple tables. Creating the style and adding it to design was simple
enough, but I can't seem to add the highlightrule to the style. How do I
accomplish this?

Thanks in advance
Emina

Hi,
we wrote for our tables with dataset a table designer class. Which has a
method to add highlight rules. Now all tables show exactly equals.
The method contains following code:

PropertyHandle highlightHandle = detailRow.getPropertyHandle(
StyleHandle.HIGHLIGHT_RULES_PROP );
HighlightRule highLight = new HighlightRule();
highLight.setOperator( DesignChoiceConstants.MAP_OPERATOR_TRUE );
highLight.setTestExpression("row[0]%2 == 0");
highLight.setProperty(HighlightRule.BACKGROUND_COLOR_MEMBER, "#F7F9FA");
highlightHandle.addItem(highLight);

detailRow is a RowHandle.

For a non dataset table it seems that this is not working so we wrote
another table designer which sets the background color like this:

RowHandle detailRow = factory.newTableRow();
table.getDetail().add( detailRow );
if( rowCount % 2 == 0 )
detailRow.setProperty(HighlightRule.BACKGROUND_COLOR_MEMBER, "#F7F9FA");
rowCount++;

Kind regards
Stefan
