ChartWizardLauncher Example - DND Function [message #786308]

Mon, 30 January 2012 03:49

Good Morning,

I try to integrate the BIRT ChartWizard in a standalone Java Application. I used for base the ChartWizardLauncher Example. But in the Example is no Integration of the Drag & Drop Function in the Select Data flag. And if I'm writing manual stuff in the Field they will not write in DataDefinition Knot of the .chart File.

My Question is: How can I access to the Fields to manipulate the properties (to write an own function to write the value back) or how can I include the DND Function or a similar function that work so that the user can chose the Category/Value series from the dataPreviewTable below?

Please forgive me my weak English as it is not my native language.

Edit: I'm using BIRT 3.7

Have you seen these threads:

and

I have an RCP app that allows drag and drop on the data tab, but I am
not saving the data to the model yet. Still a work in progress.

Hello Jason,

Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately the referent project links in the posted threads are dead.
May be you have an idea in which class I can find the needed information?
In simple words I only need the 'Textfield' in the Data Select View of a ChartWizard and write a String in the .chart XML.
I will not believe that this is so difficult, but I don't find a way to get these 'Textfields'. Which class provides me an access?

PS: Can I see this RCP App? Maybe it will help?

Hello Jason,

Now my ChartWizardLauncher run as RPC Application. I've my own DragSource Widget and the Drag and Drop writes the Text in the right Textfield.

Next step: Saving the Data in the model.
Have you an example or a suggestion how I can solve this?

ChartUIUtil.getBaseSeriesDefinitions(getChartModel()).get(0).getSeries().get(0).getDataDefinition().get(0).setDefinition(value);

allow me to write a string in the model (that is all what I need), but how (and where) can I decide which Series was the Drop Target?

Thank you.

Can you email me your code and I can make it save to the correct place
in the model?
