Report Detail Format - Script

Permanently deleted user

13. Mai 2014 02:21

Have always used the Essentials report detail format listed below. Now I need it to read one of the fields with deals with status. I need it to change colour to green if the record's status = Signed. How can I alter the script below to print a line green if the record's status = Signed?

bool backColor = true;

public void detail_Format()

 

{ 

 

 if (backColor)

 

 {

 

  rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor =System.Drawing.Color.Silver;

 

 }

 

 else

 

 {

 

  rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;

 

 }

 

 

 

 backColor=!backColor;

 

}

public void ActiveReport_PageStart()

 

{  

 

 if (!backColor) backColor = !backColor;

 

 

 

 

 

}

  Hi Walter,

  You can test the fields value, see below.

   

  bool backColor = true;

   

  string greenFieldName = "status";

   

  string greenFieldValue = "Signed";

   

  public void detail_Format()

   

  {

   

      if (backColor)

   

      {

   

          rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor =System.Drawing.Color.Silver;

   

      }

   

      else

   

      {

   

           rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;

   

      }

   

      

   

      backColor=!backColor;

   

      

   

      //Check for the field value and change the color to Greenif it matches.

   

       string fieldValue = rpt.Fields[greenFieldName].Value as string;

   

      if (fieldValue == greenFieldValue )

   

      {

   

          rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor =System.Drawing.Color.Green;

   

      }

   

  }

  Mark,

  Thanks for your reply. Although alittle closer, I still get an error on line 25....Error = Identifier expected

   

  bool backColor = true;

   

   string greenFieldName = "site_status";

   

   string greenFieldValue = "Signed";

   

   

   

  public void detail_Format()

   

   {

   

       if (backColor)

   

       {

   

           rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor =System.Drawing.Color.Silver;

   

       }

   

       else

   

       {

   

            rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;

   

       }

   

      

   

       backColor=!backColor;

   

      

   

       //Check for the field value and change the color to Greenif it matches.

   

        string fieldValue = rpt.Fields[site_status].Value as string;

   

       if (fieldValue == greenFieldValue )

   

       {

   

           rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor =System.Drawing.Color.Green;

   

       }

   

   }

  The field name is in the variable 'greenFieldName'.

  change this line: string fieldValue = rpt.Fields[site_status].Value as string;

  to: string fieldValue = rpt.Fields[greenFieldName ].Value as string;

  Mark,

  I still get an error "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation"

  bool backColor = true;

   

   string greenFieldName = "site_status";

   

   string greenFieldValue = "Signed";

   

   

   

  public void detail_Format()

   

   {

   

       if (backColor)

   

       {

   

           rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor =System.Drawing.Color.Silver;

   

       }

   

       else

   

       {

   

            rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;

   

       }

   

      

   

       backColor=!backColor;

   

      

   

        //Check for the field value and change the color to Greenif it matches.

   

        string fieldValue = rpt.Fields[greenFieldName].Value as string;

   

       if (fieldValue == greenFieldValue )

   

       {

   

           rpt.Sections["detail"].BackColor =System.Drawing.Color.Green;

   

       }

   

   }

  Walter,

  debugging scripting in report designer is a challenge.

  Are you able to email your .rpx file to me. I can have a quick look. mhoyland@ssc.nsw.gov.au

  Walter,

  I got your email and replied to it yesterday with some slight changes in the report. Looks like it has not made it to you.  I just sent another one to you without attachments to see if gets there. I will update this post with the changes, when I get a chance.

  Hi Mark

   

  I have run into the same issue when trying to toggle the background color based on an input value. I get "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation". What kind of changes did you do to the report to make it work? 

   

  Martin

  Hi All,

   

  I am having the same problem. I cannot figure out how to change the backgroud colors for the text (between yellow/transparent) if the status of my field is unsafe/safe. If anyone has working script and could share it I would very much appreciate it.

   

  Thanks,

   

  Nataliya
