Jasper Reports - remove buttons from input control

2
votes

I've been digging all over Jasper documentation and can't find the answer.

Currently for our reports, we have a simple input control, Date. When this launches, I am given a date control and at the bottom, I get series of useless button choices...

Apply, OK, Reset, Cancel, Save

Can anyone help me get these removed? Just want OK and Cancel. I looked at DefaultParametersForm.jsp but am having a hard time finding anything useful there. I'm an amateur jsp programmer.

We removed the Cancel button from the input control popup, we found it in the file inputControls.jsp in the jsp/templates directory.

You should find the apply, ok, reset and save button here also.

I do not know off-hand how to remove the buttons, but these buttons are not all useless. Reset clears your fields back to their defaults (blank if no default).

When you are using the Control Layout 1, you may think the Apply and OK button do the same thing but they don't. Apply will run the report with the set parameters, but will not get rid of the dialog box. OK runs apply and removes the dialog as well. (Note that the dialog can be dragged out of the way.)

If you switch to one of the other Control Layouts (I like 4), then the OK button goes away b/c there is no longer a dialog. You will only get Apply, Reset, and Cancel.
