Adjustable size of textfield

[GeertPoels]

Hello,

 

I've created a simple report with a subreport.

Both reports show records and contain multiple textfields.

Their content is filled with the values of a custom programmed datasource(a JRRewindableDataSource).

 

Sometimes these values can be a single word, sometimes they contains a very long text.

How can I define that a textfield'height grows, depending on its content ?

Because if I foresee enough space for every possible content, I loose a lot of height to blank space.

 

Thanks !

See the isStretchWithOverflow attribute of textField elements.

 

HTH,

Thanks.

That worked.

 

What are the differences between stretch to tallest object and stretch to band height ?

 

I'd like to 'color' my rows.

Now I had a colored rectangle behind my textfields.

With this stretch, the color doesn't follow.

Any tricks on how to do this ?

Follow the instruction as per this document. This is really pretty cool, dynamic row color.
