Dynamic height on detail band

[geirsv]

Is there a way to set the height of each line in the detail band to be dynamic?

 

By that I mean I want the height of each line to adjust according to the field that becomes the highest due to the width and amount of text.

 

Thanks

Assuming you have dynamic text in text fields, you can set the isStretchWithOverflow attribute of the <textField> element to true. This will cause the text field to expand to accomodate the text.

 

Make sure that any elements below the text field have a positionType of "Float", otherwise the text from the text field will be displayed "on top" of the other elements.

 

For more information, check out my book, JasperReports For Java Developers. Available at Amazon or directly from the publisher.

I had a similar problem and this trick worked. Thanks a Ton

And what about images?

 

In my detail section, I have either a textField or an image, and I would like to adapt the band height depending on the input (say, 15 if the input is text, 340 if it is an image).

 

Thanks

It also worked for me..

<detail>

<band height="29" splitType="Stretch">

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">

 

<reportElement x="0" y="3" width="72" height="20" uuid="61b00dae-e05c-4971-a754-f635a3043d57"/>

<textElement textAlignment="Center">

<font fontName="Tahoma" size="10"/>

</textElement>

<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{RefNo}]]></textFieldExpression>

 

</textField>

</band>
