TextFields not streching under Group Header

[kumarjasper]

Hi,

I am calling subreport from group header. I have text field in subreport. The text field in subreport doesn't strech when the content overflows the height of Textfield.

 

Here is the scenario:

 

The group definition is

 

<group name="Group_1">

<groupExpression><![CDATA[null]]></groupExpression>

<groupHeader>

<band height="85">

<subreport>

<reportElement positionType="Float" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="3" y="43" width="566" height="40" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true">

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[new Boolean($F{clinicalHistory}.size() > 0)]]></printWhenExpression>

</reportElement>

<dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[new JRBeanCollectionDataSource((Collection) $F{clinicalHistory})]]></dataSourceExpression>

<subreportExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{TEMPLATE_DIR}+"ClinicalInfo.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>

</subreport>

<subreport>

<reportElement positionType="Float" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="3" y="2" width="566" height="40" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true">

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[new Boolean($F{amendments}.size() > 0)]]></printWhenExpression>

</reportElement>

<dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[new JRBeanCollectionDataSource((Collection) $F{amendments})]]></dataSourceExpression>

<subreportExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{TEMPLATE_DIR}+"Amendments.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>

</subreport>

</band>

</groupHeader>

<groupFooter>

<band/>

</groupFooter>

</group>

 

 

SUBREPORT'S DETAIL SECTION IS:

 

<detail>

<band height="15" isSplitAllowed="true">

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">

<reportElement key="textField" style="Text" positionType="Float" x="1" y="0" width="560" height="15" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true">

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[new Boolean($F{content} != null)]]></printWhenExpression>

</reportElement>

<textElement isStyledText="true"/>

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$F{content}.toString()]]></textFieldExpression>

</textField>

</band>

</detail>

 

Please let me know if anybody knows the solution

 

Thanks

Don't use the "RelativeToTallestObject" attribute for your SubReportElement! This attribute is (in most cases) just useful for stretching rectangles/vertical lines etc.... but as the TextField is stretching itself, it needn't stretch to the Tallest Object.

 

As I also use SubReports with stretching fields (over several pages even) I don't have Problems. So it must work.

 

Additionally I would create a second group for your second subreport, and put this subreport in its own band (I expierenced some troubles when many subreports are located in the same band)

Streching works excellent in detail section but it doesn't work in groupHeader.

 

i tried my application by placing two subreports in a seperate bands instead of same band. but still doesn't work. Is there anything which i am missing in the above posted XML.

 

let me know if anyone knows the solution.

 

Thanks

Hmm stretching works quite well in GroupHeader/FooterBands.... so look at this small sample (works without data... just change the parameter default-value with more strings to see how fine stretching works. :-)

are you SURE that you have set all StretchTypes from "RelativeToTallestObject" to "[color=#FF0000]NoStretch[/color]"

!??!?

Thanks. That worked for me. I refactored My JRXMLs. Instead of calling subreport i used Text fields in my report. Thanks once again for the sample example.
