group text fields with dynamic content

Recommended Posts

We have the following problem: We want to "group" two text fields so that the second text field begins directly beneath the first text field. The first text field contains text fetched from database and my differ significantly in length.

Example:  

------TEXTBLOCK1-------

Dynanmic Blablba (may be 1 line or n lines long)

------TEXTBLOCK1-------

------TEXTBLOCK2-------

follows TEXTBLOCK1 "immediately"

------TEXTBLOCK2-------

 

How can we do that?

 

many thanks & kind regards,

Markus

Place both the textfields on the report canvas in your desired location. Right click on your first(top) textfield and go to:

Properties > Textfield > Stretch with overflow > Check this property

Then right click on the second (bottom) textfield and go to:

Properties > Common > Position Type > By default its set to "FixRelativeToTop" change that to "Float"

Hopefully, this will do what you are looking for.
