I know how I can change the colour of a cell with the help of conditional formatting. But I would like to use a formula to achieve the following goal.
If a value <5.00% is entered into A2 via a formula, I want it to be displayed in Red 3. If it is >=5.00%, I would like it to be displayed in Green 3. Analogously, the same is true for A3/A4/A5 compared with B3/B4/B5.
STYLE is used for background colours.
I have also stumbled upon this solution, but it is suited for text replacement and not for my purpose. After creating two new custom styles, I have tried =T(STYLE(IF(A2<B2;"Red_if_lesser";"Green_if_greater_or_equal"))), but it has delivered an error (Err:522). What do I have to add to this formula in order to make it work?
For conditional formatting, it doesn’t matter if the cell value is calculated or it’s a fixed value. All you need to do is to define the appropriate rules for conditional formatting. In your case, you'll have to define two rules, one for current values < plan values, and one forcurrent values >= plan values. To change the font colour, define two new cell styles (can be done inside the conditional formatting dialogue), with an appropriate font colour:
Let’s start with the following data:
Select the cells that should be formatted based on their content. Pay attention that they are marked in this way:
Start defining the conditional formatting:
First rule: Cell value is less than B2 – apply a new style:
Set the Font Color for the new style in the Font Effects tab:
Add another formatting rule using the Add button – now with green font color:
Et voilà – the result:

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to individually style a cell or group of cells when a certain thing happens. For instance I would like to be able to right-click on a cell and hit something like "tag" and it would change the background color of the cell to something different. I would like to do the same thing with rows, columns, or any random group of selected cells. I also need this change in style to persist even if the cell(s) are moved beyond the viewport layer's view.
If you have a hard time with NatTable, maybe it is worth reading some of our tutorials and documents.

In short related to your question. Individual styling is done via config labels on a cell and styles that are registered in the ConfigRegistry for that label. So what you need to do is to implement some sort of label registry based on cell indeces. That label registry then needs to be used by a custom ConfigLabelAccumulator so the labels are attached to the cells with the corresponding indeces.
We have a basic implementation on a column base via the ColumnStyleEditorDialog. This can be seen in the _000_Styled_grid example by clicking on the column header and call "Format cells". Personally I think that feature is not complete, but it should help you in seeing how it works in principle.
I would like to rip off Google's design for my Continuous Form. The detail section of the form is set up to display N number of records resulting from a search, and thus cannot be used to create this effect (i think). Everything must go in the header section.
there are 2 primary issues I would like to address in this question:
Two toned background. The header section should have a grey stripe and a white stripe. This stripe needs to extend the full width of the form, which is variable and will depend on the user. (i'm using tabs not pop-ups)
How to right justify certain elements of the header so that they stay close to the right edge, wherever that may fall, just like your account information on Google.
The "Search Results" in the detail section are loaded by setting the form's recordSource to the results of a query defined in VBA, which takes parameters from the search box. The form is continuous.
Any ideas how to hack this into place?
Recent versions of MS Access provide improved form layout features when using the ACCDB database file format.
The screen captures below are based on a form in Access 2010. The second image is after the form width was expanded, but it's scaled down for display on this web page. However you can open those images directly to compare their relative widths.
The grey color is from the form header's Back Color property. The white box is a simple text box whose Back Color is white and Back Style is Normal (not Transparent).
The text box's Horizontal Anchor property is Both, and its Can Grow property is Yes. The other 3 items ("?", "Button 2", and "Button 3") are command buttons. Their Horizontal Anchors are set to Right and their Can Grow properties are No.
The result of those properties is that when the form expands, those command buttons maintain their size are are kept right-aligned within the form. And the text box stretches to fill the remaining available space.
Note this behavior is accomplished without any VBA code.
I think these layout capabilities were introduced in Access 2007 and perhaps refined in 2010.
For the background, use two rectangles with transparent borders, one back color gray, one white. You can size them to the form by using the form's InsideWidth property. For example:
Private Sub Form_Resize()
rect1.Width = Me.InsideWidth
rect2.Width = Me.InsideWidth
End Sub
I would do a similar thing for the buttons/images/etc you want right justified. Set their Left property relative to the form's width:
mySettingsButton.Left = Me.InsideWidth - 300
Keep in mind all the measurements are twips (1440 twips/inch)
I would like to highlight the first node of a GtkTreeView and give that node the focus. gtk_tree_view_row_activated () seems appropriate for what I am trying to do, but I couldn't figure out the arguments it takes.
Thanks in advance.
gtk_tree_view_row_activated() actually acts on just one cell. I wonder if you really want to Highlight the row or just select it. I.e. if you want to leave the highlight even if the cursor is on another line.
If that's the case, note that you can define extra fields in the underlying model, for example, if you have 3 fields for your data, you can add field 4 with a color. Then you can tell the renderer to use the color in field 4 (instead of giving the renderer the color immediately).
This example not only changes the background, but also the text color:
http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=show&file=faq13.031.htp
For more sophisticated work, you can even modify the atributes on a cell-per-cell basis:
http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtktreeviewcolumn.html#method-gtktreeviewcolumn--set-cell-data-func
Use set_cursor method:
TextView.set_cursor(0,None,False)
0 = Index of the first row
I've got a situation where I create a report based on jrxml-files generated programmaitically and a style template with a given name and given style names. This works fine up to the point where there are conditional styles. Every example I found just uses ConditionalStyles to change some value like setting a different backcolor for specific situations. This can't be done here since there is no way of knowing what separates an even row style from an odd row style. Like wheter an odd row will get a gray background or an even row will get a green foreground and a black bottom pen.
What I tried or looked at:
Using Conditional Styles - There seems to be no way of defining a style reference just to change style values
Using a Variable for the style name - The variable didn't get evaluated
Creating a style with 2 ConditionalStyles using even and odd styles as parent styles - these were ignored when creating the jrtx-file
So... is there a way to create alternate styled rows using style references? If yes how it is done?
As there seems no solution to this, we had to change the structure of the style-files to include the conditional style instead of doing this in the document.
When walking this path and trying to change or create these style-files programmatically, be aware that in the JRXmlTemplateWriter that comes with Jasper, the method toWriteConditionalStyles is implemented as:
protected boolean toWriteConditionalStyles() {
return false;
}
Which is unfortunate. You'll have to use your own Exporter that changes this behavior.
Simply the way of knowing what separates an even row style from an odd row style.
Even row will satisfy the condition
(($V{REPORT_COUNT}%2) == 0)
Odd row will satisfy the condition
(($V{REPORT_COUNT}%2) != 0)
Then you can use a Conditional Styles with above conditions
I created a .PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The file has several text fields. Using iTextSharp, I'm able to populate all the fields and mail out the .PDF.
One thing is bugging me - some of the next will not "fit" in the textbox. In Adobe, if I type more that the allocated height, the scroll bar kicks in - this happens when font size is NOT set to auto and multi-line is allowed.
However, when I attempt to set the following properties:
//qSize is float and set to 15;
//auto size of font is not being set here.
pdfFormFields.SetFieldProperty("notification_desc", "textsize", qSize, null);
// set multiline
pdfFormFields.SetFieldProperty("notification_desc", "setfflags", PdfFormField.FF_MULTILINE, null);
//fill the field
pdfFormFields.SetField("notification_desc", complaintinfo.OWNER_DESC);
However upon compilation and after stamping, the scroll bar does not appear in the final .PDF.
I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. I'm thinking that perhaps I should create a table and flood it with the the text but the documentation makes little or no reference to scroll bars....
When you flatten a document, you remove all interactivity. Expecting working scroll bars on a flattened form, is similar to expecting working scroll bars on printed paper. That's why you don't get a lot of response to your question: it's kind of absurd.
When you fill out a rectangle with text, all text that doesn't fit will be omitted. That's why some people set the font size to 0. In this case, the font size will be adapted to make the text fit. I don't know if that's an option for you as you clearly state that the font size must be 15 pt.
If you can't change the font size, you shouldn't expect the AcroForm form field to adapt itself to the content. ISO-32000-1 is clear about that: the coordinates of a text field are fixed.
Your only alternative is to take control over how iText should fill the field. I made an example showing how to do this in the context of my book: MovieAds.java/MovieAds.cs. In this example, I ask the field for its coordinates:
AcroFields.FieldPosition f = form.GetFieldPositions(TEXT)[0];
This object gives you the page number f.page and a Rectangle f.position. You can use these variables in combination with ColumnText to add the content exactly the way you want to (and to check if all content has been added).
I hope you understand that:
it's only normal that there are no scroll bars on a flattened form,
the standard way of filling out fields clips content that doesn't fit,
you need to do more programming if you want a custom result.
