Page break based on output type [message #256886]

Hi,

Is there a way to do page break based on output type? For example I don't
want page break in case of xls report. How do I set the page break for the
group row and in detail row? I am running BIRT 2.1.3.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bidyut

Bidyut,

Can you try something like this in the beforeFactory. Be sure to name
your table and set the page break in the group like you want it for html.

myoutputformat = reportContext.getOutputFormat();

if( myoutputformat != "html" ){

tbl = reportDesignHandle =
reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHand le().findElement( "mytable");

grp = tbl.getGroups().get(0);

grp.setProperty("pageBreakAfter", "avoid" );

grp.setProperty("pageBreakBefore", "avoid" );

}
