Subject: [iText-questions] Fw: Help! Nested Table issue....
I'm a newbie to iText and would greatly appreciate some help. If you look
at the attached screenshot,
you should be able to clearly see my issue.
There are 2 main issues I am trying to figure out.
1) The Procedure table extends the last row to match the height of the
Diagnosis table. Why?
Is there a way to avoid this?
PdfPTable.setExtendLastRow(false)
2) I would like header cell to read: Diagnosis and Procedures
(Continued...) on every next page (if the table wraps
to a new page). Basically, append " (Continued....)" text to the header if
it's on a new page. Can this be done?
If so, how?
You'll have to do your own layout with PdfPTable.writeSelectedRows()
I would greatly appreciate any help with these 2 issues. I've been banging
my head up against the wall trying
to figure it out.
Thank you very much in advance!
Spencer
Below is the the code that I am using to try and get this to work:
// add the section header
float[] widths = {0.02f, 0.98f};
PDFPTable sectionTable = new PdfPTable(widths);
sectionTable.setWidthPercentage(sectionTableWidth);
sectionTable.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
sectionTable.getDefaultCell().setBorderColor(Color.white);
sectionTable.setSplitLate(false);
String displayLabel = "Diagnosis and Procedures";
PDPCell cell = new PdfPCell(imageGreenArrow, false);
cell.setBorderColor(Color.white);
sectionTable.addCell(cell);
sectionTable.addCell(new Paragraph(new Chunk(displayLabel,
fontSectionHeader)));
sectionTable.setHeaderRows(1);
// embed the diagnosis / procedure table(s) in a new table
embeddedTable = new PdfPTable(totalFields);
embeddedTable.setExtendLastRow(false);
embeddedTable.setWidthPercentage(100);
embeddedTable.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
embeddedTable.getDefaultCell().setBorderColor(Color.white);
// add the embedded (diagnosis) table
cell = new PdfPCell(diagnosisTable);
cell.setBorderColor(Color.white);
embeddedTable.addCell(cell);
// add the embedded (procedure) table
cell = new PdfPCell(procedureTable);
cell.setBorderColor(Color.white);
embeddedTable.addCell(cell);
// add the embedded table to the sectionTable
cell = new PdfPCell(embeddedTable);
cell.setColspan(2);
cell.setBorderColor(Color.white);
sectionTable.addCell(cell);
