Class TemplateParameterDefinitionHandle

All Implemented Interfaces:
org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.interfaces.IDesignElementModel, org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.interfaces.ITemplateParameterDefinitionModel

public class TemplateParameterDefinitionHandle extends ReportElementHandle implements org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.interfaces.ITemplateParameterDefinitionModel
Represents a template parameter definition element. A template parameter definitio gives a definition of a template element. It can be referred by one template report item or one template data set. The template parameter definition has the following properties:
  • A required and unique name for this template parameter definition.
  • A type for this template parameter definition. It is the the enumeration of Table,Grid, Label, Text, ExtendedItem, other kind of report items and Dataset.
  • A static description message to display.
The application generally does not create template parameter definition handles directly. Instead, BIRT will create it when users replace an actual report item or data set with a template element.
