Runtime Class Usage

The class provides a number of methods that simplify the job of creating dynamic designs that change behavior based on the runtime setup.

Like all RTL Classes, the "new" keyword is not supported, so it is not possible to create and subclass objects.

The methods can be used from within RTL expressions. Some common uses might be:

• To suppress headers and footers when Excel output is selected.
• To conditionally Insert a logo based on the printer tray is selected.
• To set a background color when debugging is enabled

These static methods do not require a Runtime object instance. When you invoke the method, it is prefixed with the Runtime class name and the '.' For example, you can suppress a header by setting its " visibilityCondition" property to this expression:

"!Runtime.producingExcelOutput()"
