Get design handle from simpleapi [message #1584764]

Hi, I need to get a design handle for a report element from simpleapi script. I know how to do it with reportContex.getDesignHandle().findElement(name), but I have some problems when the elements aren't named.

I would like to use getElementById() but I can't find a way to get the id from the this available in the event script.

I don't know if there is any other way to get this done.

Thank you.

So, you need this to be more dynamic than finding the elements in the design and getting their ID from the property editor?

Yes, I need to get the ID within a script. Specifically in the table onPrepare event.

I don't see where you can access the ID from the simpleapi, but you could do something like this:

this.name = "myTable";
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("myTable")//do something
