      Constructs a handle of the data item with the given design and a data item. 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

    • getActionHandle

      public ActionHandle getActionHandle()
      Returns a handle to work with the action property, action is a structure that defines a hyperlink.
      Returns:
      a handle to the action property, return null if the action has not been set on the data item.

      public ActionHandle setAction(Action action) throws SemanticException
      Set an action on the image.
      Parameters:
      action - new action to be set on the image, it represents a bookmark link, hyperlink, and drill through etc.
      Returns:
      a handle to the action property, return null if the action has not been set on the image.
      Throws:
      SemanticException - if member of the action is not valid.
    • actionsIterator

      public Iterator<ActionHandle> actionsIterator()
      Returns the iterator for action defined on this data item.
      Returns:
      the iterator for Action structure list defined on this data item
    • getDistinct

      @Deprecated public String getDistinct()
      Deprecated.
      by the drop function of Cell element.
      Returns the value of the distinct property.
      Returns:
      the distinct value as a string
    • setDistinct

      @Deprecated public void setDistinct(String distinct) throws SemanticException
      Deprecated.
      by the drop function of Cell element.
      Sets the value of the distinct property. The input value is defined in DesignChoiceConstants and is one of these:
      • DISTINCT_ALL
      • DISTINCT_REPEAT
      • DISTINCT_REPEAT_ON_PAGE
      Parameters:
      distinct - the distinct value as a string
      Throws:
      SemanticException - If the property is locked or the value is not one of the above.
    • getDistinctReset

      @Deprecated public String getDistinctReset()
      Deprecated.
      by the drop function of Cell element.
      Returns the value of the distinct-reset property.
      Returns:
      the distinct-set value as a string
    • setDistinctReset

      @Deprecated public void setDistinctReset(String value) throws SemanticException
      Deprecated.
      by the drop function of Cell element.
      Returns the value of the distinct-reset property.
      Parameters:
      value - the distinct-set value as a string
      Throws:
      SemanticException - If the property is locked.
    • getValueExpr

      @Deprecated public String getValueExpr()
      Deprecated.
      As of BIRT version 2.1.0, replaced by getResultSetColumn( )
      Returns the expression that gives the value that the data item displays.
      Returns:
      the value expression
    • setValueExpr

      @Deprecated public void setValueExpr(String expr) throws SemanticException
      Deprecated.
      As of BIRT version 2.1.0, replaced by setResultSetColumn(String columnName)
      Sets the expression for the value that the data item is to display. This method still can be used. However, if the user uses both this method and setResultSetColumn(String columnName), the result is unexpectable. It is strongly recommended to use ONLY one of two methods.
      Parameters:
      expr - the expression to set
      Throws:
      SemanticException - If the property is locked.
      SemanticException
