!! Stretch with overflow donesn\'t work !!

[lingkongpiaoyi]

Dear all:

  I need to display a String which is combined by two Fields in a PDF file,

So I create a variable ,the Variable expression just like this:  $F{itemDesc}+" / "+$F{itemDescEng}

Considering of the result maybe too long to be displayed, I find the [Strech with overflow ] property and checked it.

 However, it doesn't work.

To make sure I'm not making mistake, I checked this property for another Filed( not a Variable )

To my suprise, It works.

Anyone can help me ?

Hii

 

place this variable in frame ,after that apply [strech with overflow ] property.

Or

otherwise After placing the string varible in frame,go tto properties of variable,>Common>Stretch type<Relative to tallest Object

 

hope it will work for you .

Thank you for your help.

I tried a lot,including the [Relative to tallest Object],it still doesn't work.

Finally , I decieded to create a new file, and put the variable in [Detail]

1.apply [strech with overflow ]

2.choose [Relative to tallest Object]

and it works.

 

I compare the new one with the former one, and find that there is a different:

I set [Position Type] as "Float" for the former one while for the new one I choosed "Fix relative to top".

Maybe that is the reason...

This is a Problem and should actually be fixed.

Everyone wants to concatenate different fields into one String so order and spaces are as required!

The given 2 solutions did not work for me. But following did:

I created a subreport. In here 2 Parameters. Then I drop the parameter in the Band (my case a Header Band - but presumably any band will do).

I select the field and got to Tab "text field" then I enable -Stretch with overflow-.

In the parent report I just pass the 2 parameters. Now stretching with any nr of parameters seems to work....

We had the same problem and found the following workaround.

Here is the jrxml source for our variable field that we needed to stretch:

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">

     <reportElement stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" mode="Transparent" x="0" y="45" width="885" height="13" uuid="2ad9e02e-f4eb-497d-9141-c2a81d396f57"/>

     <box bottomPadding="0"/>

     <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{formattedReportParameters}]]></textFieldExpression>

</textField>
