stretch a textfield only vertical?

[pt_1]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to limit the width of a textfield but not the height.

So i did some changes in the properties of the textfield.

 

Position Type: Float

Strech Type: Relative To Tallest Object

Strech With Overflow: true

 

But this is to strech the textfield horizontal and vertical.

Thanks!

My Code:

    <detail>
        <band height="53" splitType="Stretch">
            <elementGroup>
                <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">
                    <reportElement positionType="Float" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="150" y="0" width="390" height="14" uuid="3511c796-9b6c-46e3-a85e-a0a496dd9276"/>
                    <box>
                        <topPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
                        <leftPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
                        <bottomPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
                        <rightPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
                    </box>
                    <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{name}]]></textFieldExpression>
                </textField>

          </elementGroup>
        </band>
    </detail>

The text field is limited by its element width.  Does the text stretch horizontally beyond 390 pixels?

In a pdf-file the limits work correctly, but in a HTML-file they failed.

For example

Try setting the net.sf.jasperreports.export.html.wrap.break.word property to true.

An alternative solution is to set the net.sf.jasperreports.text.save.line.breaks property instead.
