Class GridHandle

All Implemented Interfaces:
IReportItemMethodContext, org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.interfaces.IDesignElementModel, org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.interfaces.IGridItemModel, org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.interfaces.IInternalReportItemModel, org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.interfaces.IStyledElementModel

public class GridHandle extends ReportItemHandle implements org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.interfaces.IGridItemModel
Represents a grid item in the design. A grid item contains a set of report items arranged into a grid. Grids contains rows and columns. The grid contains cells. Each cell can span one or more columns, or one or more rows. Each cell can contain one or more items.

Grid layout is familiar to anyone who has used HTML tables, Word tables or Excel: data is divided into a series of rows and columns.

      public GridHandle(org.eclipse.birt.report.model.core.Module module, org.eclipse.birt.report.model.core.DesignElement element)
      Constructs a grid handle with the given design and the design element. The application generally does not create handles directly. Instead, it uses one of the navigation methods available on other element handles.
      Parameters:
      module - the module
      element - the model representation of the element
