StaticText "Box" attribute doesn't work.

2005-04-12 15:33

It seems as though, the "box" attribute isn't allowed, yet it's part of the quick reference. Perhaps this is a future enhancement? I'd use it. Given this, are "lines" the only way to create borders around text? It seems a bit tedius to do a large report by hand configuring the line sizes. I tried using Jasper Reports too, but I think manually editing the xml is faster. Looking for tips or suggestions. Thx.

Uh, I meant "I tried using Jasper Assistant too".

Use this:

<rectangle>

<reportElement positionType="Float" x="103" y="3" width="90" height="13"/> <graphicElement/>

</rectangle>

Thanks, I actually considered the rectangle. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, I still have to manually size and align it though. In Jasper Assistant, the "Box" was basically like adding a rectangle to your statictext box--same size and alignment, all with 1 click. But the "Box" isn't supported by JR, darnitall.
