public abstract class ListingHandle extends ReportItemHandle implements org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.interfaces.IListingElementModel
Represents slots and common properties in the two list-oriented elements: table and list. A listing has on-start, on-row and on-finish script properties as well as detail, footer, groups and header slots.

  • The on-start script called before the first row is retrieved from the data set for this element. Called after the data set is open but before the header band is created.
  • The on-row script called for each row retrieved from the data set for this element, but before creating any content for that row.
  • The on-finish script called after the last row is read from the data set for this element, but before the footer band is created.

      Parameters:
      module - the module
      element - the model representation of the element

    • sortsIterator

      public Iterator sortsIterator()
      Returns the iterator for sort list defined on a table or list. The element in the iterator is the corresponding StructureHandle that deal with a SortKey in the list.

      the iterator for SortKey structure list defined on a table or list.
    • filtersIterator

      public Iterator<FilterConditionHandle> filtersIterator()
      Returns the iterator for filter list defined on a table or list. The element in the iterator is the corresponding StructureHandle that deal with a FilterCond in the list.
