simultaneous move of text label and textfield

2006-03-28 21:35

Hi,

 

I have following case:

 

The detail contains a lot of text elements and subreports. The text label and field elements are aligned horizontal. All of the text fields contents could be bigger as the expected width thats why I adjust the text fields property isStretchWithOverflow=true. I've adjust all text fields property positionType="Float". And now it could happen, that the correspondend text label stay upper to it's content. What can I do that both the label and it's text field move downwards if the previous text field was stretched ?

 

Any suggestions. Thanks in forward.

Rico

Hi,

 

Use an invisible line to separate the label

and text pairs. The line should also have postitionType="Float", but will push both the text

and the label at the same time.

 

Otherwise, put the label/text pairs into their

own separate bands using dummy groups.

 

I hope this helps.

Teodor

Could not also a frame element help in this case!?!?!?

Yes, frames should work.

Good catch!

 

Thanks,

The trick with the invisible line must work also (as I did so in almost all of my reports before the frame-element came into JasperReport) ... you must set it to float and it must above BOTH elements (label and field) to cause the moving (also set both elements to "float")

 

but the frame is much better (cleaner) for new version of reports.
