Hi,

We are using Native Excel emitter to generate excel files and we are getting the xls files generated, but we are not getting any grid lines in the excel files.

Below is the code used to generate the excel files:

EXCELRenderOption options = new EXCELRenderOption();
options.setOption("excelRenderOption.hideGridlines",false);
options.setOption("fixed_column_width",true);
options.setWrappingText(true);
options.setEnableMultipleSheet(false);
options.setEmitterID("org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.nativexls");
options.setOutputFormat(ReportingConstants.OUTPUT_TYPE_XLS);
options.setOutputFileName(buildDocumentName(workingFolder, jobBo, ReportingConstants.OUTPUT_TYPE_XLS));
task1 = birtReportEngine.createRenderTask(document);
task1.setRenderOption(options);
task1.render();


In spite of setting options.setOption("excelRenderOption.hideGridlines",false); we are getting grid lines in the excel.

Any thoughts on how to get the grid lines in the excel file.

Thanks,
KKP

Can you reproduce with report against the sample db and post the report
and output? BTW what version of BIRT are you using?

I tried this with the re api and it worked for me. Can you look at the
attached output and source I used?

Jason,

in the source you used, the excel is generated using default birt excel emitter api, we are using native excel emitter api and the version of re api is from birt 3.7.
Could you please try once with below code and let us know if its worked.

Also the grid lines from the xls file attached are not visible in excel2003 version.

EXCELRenderOption options = new EXCELRenderOption();
> options.setOption("excelRenderOption.hideGridlines",false);
> options.setOption("fixed_column_width",true);
> options.setWrappingText(true);
> options.setEnableMultipleSheet(false);
> options.setEmitterID("org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.nativexls");
> options.setOutputFormat(ReportingConstants.OUTPUT_TYPE_XLS);
> options.setOutputFileName(buildDocumentName(workingFolder, jobBo,
> ReportingConstants.OUTPUT_TYPE_XLS));
> task1 = birtReportEngine.createRenderTask(document);
> task1.setRenderOption(options);
> task1.render();


Thanks,
KKP

I have tried using "Native Excel Emitter Plug-in for BIRT".I am using BIRT 3.7 and org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.nativexls_1.0.0.201110122114. I have followed the following steps.
1) remove the following files
• org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.prototype.excel_3.7.0.v20110602
• org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.excel.config_3.7.0.v20110602
from eclipse\plugins folder.
2) Copy org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.nativexls_1.0.0.201110122114.jar to eclipse\plugins folder.
But the chart/image is not coming when I export the report in a excel file.
Could anyone help me regarding this.
