Labels on details rows?

[overday]

Hi, first of all, sorry by bad english :P

 

I have this xml report on iReport:

$F{INFORMACOES} and $F{INFO2} are passed by JavaBeans, and they are textField fields. Label 1 and Label 2 are staticText fields.

 

My problem is: when the text on $F{INFORMACOES} has only one line, the $F{INFO2} and its label (Label 2) are ok, like this:

The problem is when $F{INFORMACOES} has more than one line: I know how to make the field under it ($F{INFO2}) float and adjust its top position (right click, properties, Position Type = Float) but that happens to the Label 2:

As you can see, the Label 2 does not align with $F{INFO2}. It should look like this:

Is there a way to Label 2 "top position" and $F{INFO2} "top position" to be always the same (i.e. make them both float when $F{INFORMACOES} overflows)?

 

 

Thanks!

overday,

 

i saw your post but wasn't really sure what it was until i read it.

it seems that you have a "floating" issue. :)

if i understood you correctly, you want to make some elements move down together when the elements above them "stretch".

if this is the case, i thinkt that this link will show you a possible solution to your "challenge" (never say problem):

your requirements seem similar to vedu's problem as you will see in the thread i am directing you to.

 

take note of how to use what I personally call a "Pusher Line Element" that will push your elements down at the same time.

i am also posting a sample that i made so you (and others needing this remedy) could experiment on it and fully understand what i mean.

take note of what properties are set.

enjoy!
