Element height Attribute stored as a Variable in iReport

I have a table with detail cells like:

<jr:detailCell height="46" rowSpan="1">

I want to change the height, depending on the value of a Query. It works with the color like this:

<style name="parentInfoStyle">
    <conditionalStyle>
        <conditionExpression><![CDATA[($V{LayerTwoID}==1)]]></conditionExpression>
        <style forecolor="#4D4D4F"/>
    </conditionalStyle>
    <conditionalStyle>
        <conditionExpression><![CDATA[($V{LayerTwoID}!=1)]]></conditionExpression>
        <style forecolor="#FFFFFF"/>
    </conditionalStyle>
</style>

But conditional styles don't seem to be working with height. Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • I found a workaround. Instead of directly changing the height, I checked the "Stretch With Overflow" property of the textfields and scaled the contents of the table entries with \n's. Not a clean solution, but it works fine.
