Displaying long text in a detail section of report

[inditrozen]

Hi All,

 

Requirement is to display text having lenth around 40 charecters as one column (field )value of a table.

 

 

This is the first column of my table which is having 10 columns. Field value inside the map which comes from java Report object contains complete text but pdf export shows only first few charecters of the field. That means rest of the text is getting cut may be due to the space. How can I enable rreport to show the complete text, may be by showing it on multiple rows by keeping the same column size

 

Can somebody help.

 

Best Regards

THANKS and have a nice weekend

Set positionType="Float" for the line element (and make sure that the line is placed underneath the text element, i.e. that they do not overlap).

Hi, actually right now I have an other issue:

 

I have two text-fields one below the other

 

LABEL1: textfield1

LABEL2: textfield2

 

 

since text-field1 is several lines I have something that looks like

How can I align the second label to its text?

 

THANKS and HAVE A NICE DAY!

What you can do is to create two frames and place each group of label and text in a separate frame, i.e. something like:

Code:

<frame>
  <reportElement .../>
  <staticText .../> <!-- first label -->
  <textField .../> <!-- first text -->
</frame>
<frame>
  <reportElement positionType="Float".../>
  <staticText .../> <!-- second label -->
  <textField .../> <!-- second text -->
</frame>

 

HTH,
