Table

The properties of a table object in a library component are as follows.

A table can have some child object. Except for Table Group, the properties of other child objects of a table in a library component are the same as those in a web report: Table Header, Table Group Header, Table Detail, Table Group Footer, Table Footer, Table Column and Table Cell.

Property Name	Description
Geometry
Height	Specifies the height of the object. Enter a numeric value to change the height. Data type: Float
Width	Specifies the width of the object. Enter a numeric value to change the width. Data type: Float
X	Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the top left corner of the object, relative to its parent container. This property is ignored if the Position property is set to static. Enter a numeric value to change the position. Data type: Float
Y	Specifies the vertical coordinate of the top left corner of the object, relative to its parent container. This property is ignored if the Position property is set to static. Enter a numeric value to change the position. Data type: Float
Color
Background	Specifies the background color of the object. Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to customize a color. You can also enter a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color. Data type: String
CSS
Class	Specifies a CSS class to be applied to the object which is a valid class in the CSS file. Data type: String
Style	The property can be used in two ways. Specifies a style to be applied to the object. Choose a style from the drop-down list which is available when a Style Group has been selected at the report tab level and when there are styles in the Style Group that can be applied to the object, or type in the style name. Specifies a CSS selector to be applied to the object. Enter a valid class name from the CSS file. Data type: String
Others
Auto Expands	Specifies whether the objects in cells of the table will expand to their empty neighbouring cells horizontally when the actual size of the objects is bigger than the cells due to no enough column or page width for auto fit. This property requires that the property Auto Fit for the objects in the table cells is set to true. Data type: Boolean Note: The property does not apply to horizontal tables.
Export to Applet	Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to Applet. Data type: Boolean
Export to CSV	Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to CSV. Data type: Boolean
Export to Excel	Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to Excel. Data type: Boolean
Export to HTML	Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to HTML. Data type: Boolean

Export to PostScript	Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to PostScript. Data type: Boolean
Export to Report Result	Specifies whether to include the object when the library component is used in JDashboard. Data type: Boolean
Export to RTF	Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to RTF. Data type: Boolean
Export to Text	Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to Text. Data type: Boolean
Export to XML	Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to XML. Data type: Boolean
Invisible	Specifies whether to show the object in the design area and in the report results. All formulas and calculations will still be performed if the property is set to true. Data type: Boolean
Navigation Height	Specifies the height of the page for the table to display multiple pages. Enter a numeric value to specify the height. If no value is given here, JReport will calculate the table page height at runtime. Data type: Float
Navigation Width	Specifies the width of the page for the table to display multiple pages. Enter a numeric value to specify the width. If no value is given here, JReport will calculate the table page width at runtime. Data type: Float
Position	Specifies the position of the object. Choose an option from the drop-down list. static - The object is positioned at the location in which it is inserted. If selected, the X, Y and other position-related properties will be hidden or disabled. The position of the object is affected by preceding objects in the same container. absolute - The object will be located at the position specified by dragging and dropping or by setting its X and Y property values. The position of the object is not affected by preceding objects in the same container. Data type: Enumeration
Record Location	Specifies the calculation point for the properties which use formulas. Choose an option from the drop-down list. Default - The values of the properties are calculated in the default location where they are located. Page Header - The values of the properties are calculated in the page header. Page Footer - The values of the properties are calculated in the page footer. Data type: Enumeration
Split Overflow Columns	Specifies whether to display the overflow columns of the table on subsequent pages. The table object containing overflow columns on subsequent pages inherits the same Y value in its container, so that it keeps the same number of records as the table in the original page. However, its X value is reset to 0 for both static and absolute positions so as to show as many columns as possible. The height of each table row for overflow columns is the same as the corresponding row height in the original page. Data type: Boolean
Suppress	Specifies whether to show the object in the design area and in the report results. All formulas and calculations will be skipped if the property is set to true. Data type: Boolean Note: When both the Invisible and Suppress properties of an object are set to true, Suppress has the higher priority.
Suppress When No Records	Specifies whether to display the object in the report results when no record is returned to its parent data component. Data type: Boolean
Border
Border Color	Specifies the color of the border of the object. Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to customize a color. You can also enter a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color. Data type: String
Border Thickness	Specifies the width of the border. Enter a numeric value to change the thickness. Data type: Float
Bottom Line	Specifies the line style of the bottom border of the object. Choose a style from the drop-down list. Data type: Enumeration
Left Line	Specifies the line style of the left border of the object. Choose a style from the drop-down list. Data type: Enumeration
Right Line	Specifies the line style of the right border of the object. Choose a style from the drop-down list. Data type: Enumeration
Top Line	Specifies the line style of the top border of the object. Choose a style from the drop-down list. Data type: Enumeration
