Hi Isabel.
you can use instance variable to compare "current value to previous value".
Here's some code that suppresses the "DeptNo" column:
//[[SPIDER_CLASS BEGIN
public class PgResourceAlloc extends spider.visual.CSpPage
//]]SPIDER_CLASS END
{
String _prevVal;
boolean _valueChanged;
boolean _firstTime;
//[[SPIDER_EVENTS BEGIN
//[[SPIDER_EVENT<DeptNo_onBeforeHtmlOutputEvent>
public int DeptNo_onBeforeHtmlOutputEvent(CSpHtmlOutputEvent event)
{
String currVal =
((CSpDisplayField)event.getSource()).getValue().stringValue();
if (firstTime){
_firstTime = false;
}
if (!_firstTime && !currVal.equals(_prevVal)) {
_prevVal = currVal;
_valueChanged = true;
}
else {
((CSpDisplayField)event.getSource()).setHtmlText("");
_valueChanged = false;
_firstTime = false;
}
return (PROCEED);
}
//]]SPIDER_EVENT<DeptNo_onBeforeHtmlOutputEvent>
//[[SPIDER_EVENT<this_onBeforeDisplayEvent>
public int this_onBeforeDisplayEvent(CSpDisplayEvent event)
{
//initialize the variables used to determine suppressed repeats.
_prevVal = "";
_valueChanged = false;
_firstTime = true;
return (PROCEED);
}
//]]SPIDER_EVENT<this_onBeforeDisplayEvent>
//]]SPIDER_EVENTS END
}
