[news.eclipse.birt] Re: How can I set a CSS class name for a report item

[Jason Weathersby <jasonweathersby@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

Try to click it anyways.  You may also want to supply a css file that is 
used at design time and for pdf.

With the IDataItemEventHandler you are only going to be able to change 
specific style properties.  If you try it in the beforeFactory you can 
change the style property for the design instance

reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("mydataitem").setProperty("style", 
"mystylename");

Keep in mind that doing anything in the onPrepare then applies to all 
instances of the data item.  If you have to have the code on the data 
item,  look at adding a highlight rule which allows you to specify a 
style name based on some expression.  So you could add two highlight 
rules that would act as follows:

If my data value is less than 500 use style one
If my data value is greater than or equal to 500 use style two

These highlight rules can also be applied using script or the 
IDataItemEventHandler as well.
