[iText-questions] Table Embed Failure

Hello,

I have been trying to create the illusion of a border around a table, where each row is a shaded color with values. A kind of spreadsheet effect. Anyway, I got the shading of the rows to work by coloring the cells the color, and skipping every other row with the color.

Problem from yesterday, still the same. I need to somehow show a border, or something around the table, so it looks like it belongs on the page.

So after experimenting for hours and hours, I came to the conclusion of failure.

But upon further thought, I figure if I could create a table. lets say 200, 200, set the background to gray. Then use my cell trick from above to use white cells for the rows to get my effect this would work.

But I cannot seem to get the background to show.

I am setting the color properly, but it just shows white?

Can anyone help me out here.

PS, I am need RTF so I am using the RtfWriter2.

Thanks,

Scott

Here is my idea for the report (kind of, pictrure the gray lines another color with cols in them also).

      Table tbl = new Table(3);
      int[] widths = { 20, 40, 40 };
      tbl.setWidths(widths);
      tbl.setOffset(20);
      tble.setBackgroundColor(Color.yellow);

      Cell cell;
      cell = new Cell("cell: 1, 1");
      cell.setBorderColor(Color.white);
      tbl.addCell(cell);
