How to hide Column Header if particular column does not contains any value
Hi,
I would like to hide the column header when there is no data available in a particular column fields .How do I implement this?
can we do this using fields name Properties object ie(windows----------------->properties) OR we Have to change int the XML CODE
Suppose i create one Table(Employee)which is having 4 fields
EmpId EmpFirstName EmpLastName EmpAge
1 William 22
2 Hengry Kerly 24
3 Robert Berly 34
output: if i select
select * from Employee where EmpId=1;
then my ireport will be generated like this
which column not having any details its not display in the report
EmpId EmpFirstName EmpAge
1 William 22
am news with ireport tools i dont know where we have to go change in the code
my Xml code is here
