Hi user,

Thanks for your post. I’ll check with our engineers and come back to you once I got any feedback. At the mean time, if you have any inquiry, please do not hesitate to have a post.

Hi user,

For alignment, you can add alignment=“right” on <StaticText …>, but please note that if StaticText has set style=“xxx”, the style’s alignment will overwrite the alignment=“xxx”

Here are 2 ways to resolve this problem:

do not set style=“xxx”, but the font will lose as well
customize your own style in OpenOffice (Report Writer) with alignment settings, and then set the new style into <StaticText…>
More details of customizing new style for alignment, please refer to the following flash movie:
http://files2.visual-paradigm.com/FlashDemo/ReportWriter/customize_style_alignment.htm

For specifying row height, we enhanced to support it in our latest patch, which you can downloaded from:
http://files2.visual-paradigm.com/200901/Patch/sp1_20081230r/VP_Suite_Windows_3_4_sp1_20081230r.exe

When you add @height for <TableRow…>, you will get the customized height in your table. If you do not define height, the row height will auto fit to content.

If there is any further inquiry, please feel free to ask.

Best regards,
Lilian Wong

Hi user,

Thanks for replying. About how to paint the text with pair color, we enhanced to support rowBackgroundColor for <TableBlock …> and backgroundColor for <TableRow …>. Please download and install the latest patch in the following link to access the enhancement.

http://files2.visual-paradigm.com/200902/Patch/sp1_20081230v/VP_Suite_Windows_3_4_sp1_20081230v.exe

For how to configure the background color, please refer to the 2nd image.

And Font is included in Style (please see the 1st image below), you can customize the default style in the Style settings.
Alternatively, you can configure your own style and apply it to your document. Details can be found from the following flash movie:
http://files2.visual-paradigm.com/FlashDemo/ReportWriter_customize_doc_style.htm

Hope these help.

Best regards,
Lilian Wong

Hi,

I try to do what is explained in your sample, but it doesn’t work on my report writer

It seems that the rowBackgroundColors doesn’t work
Could you please help me to solve the problem?
I post the code that I wrote.

Thanks in advance!

Hi user,

Thanks for replying. You are using incorrect color code “#COCOCO, #EOEOEO”.
It should be “#C0C0C0, #E0E0E0” (should be “zero” instead of “O”).

Best regards,
