Question concerning "stretch with overflow"

[Nicolas.Kukolja]

Hi,

 

we have a report template like the attached one. A static text with description and a dynamic textfield with value side by side and this repeats to the bottom of the report.

When a value is to long for a sized textfield, this should be extended, but without overlapping the following ones. So we always set the flag "strech with overflow" and the position type to "float".

The problem is that this works correct for the textfields, but the static text aside the following textfields does not "move" with the according textfields.

How do I "connect" a static text to a textfield, that it will move in common with the textfield?

 

Greetings and thanks in advance,

Nicolas

 I am not a specialist of "stretching" but my understandig is the following one : you should set the "Stretch Type" property of your static text to "Relative to Tallest object" (suggestion) in order that the static text height "follows" the height of your dynamic text.
