Hello All, I am new to jasper reports and am facing a problem with element group and stretch type + position type and stretch with over flow. The problem is that I have two static text elements and and two text field elements placed like the following inside a frame (stretch type = Relative to Tallest Object) element and the elements are grouped together in an Element Group Client ID: Text Field (Position Type = fixed relative to top) Date Opened: Text Field (Position Type = Float) . The text field elements have their property "Stretch with over flow" checked. When the content in the text field over flows, the label "Date Opened" remains where it is defined (stretch type = Relative to Tallest Object) but the text field in front of "Date Opened" shifts accordingly (stretch type = No Stretch) I have no idea why the static text "date opened" is not shifting relative to the tallest Object ? An early response will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance :) Kind Regards Max Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><!-- Created with iReport - A designer for JasperReports --><!DOCTYPE jasperReport PUBLIC "//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN" "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd"><jasperReport name="test" columnCount="1" printOrder="Vertical" orientation="Portrait" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" columnWidth="535" columnSpacing="0" leftMargin="30" rightMargin="30" topMargin="20" bottomMargin="20" whenNoDataType="NoPages" isTitleNewPage="false" isSummaryNewPage="false"> <property name="ireport.scriptlethandling" value="0" /> <property name="ireport.encoding" value="UTF-8" /> <import value="java.util.*" /> <import value="net.sf.jasperreports.engine.*" /> <import value="net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.*" /> <background> <band height="0" isSplitAllowed="true" > </band> </background> <title> <band height="50" isSplitAllowed="true" > </band> </title> <pageHeader> <band height="101" isSplitAllowed="true" > </band> </pageHeader> <columnHeader> <band height="30" isSplitAllowed="true" > </band> </columnHeader> <detail> <band height="100" isSplitAllowed="true" > <frame> <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="106" height="22" key="frame-1" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject"/> <box> <pen lineWidth="1.0" lineColor="#000000"/> <topPen lineWidth="1.0" lineColor="#000000"/> <leftPen lineWidth="1.0" lineColor="#000000"/> <bottomPen lineWidth="1.0" lineColor="#000000"/> <rightPen lineWidth="1.0" lineColor="#000000"/></box> </frame> <elementGroup><!-- Start: 1 !--> <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="false" evaluationTime="Now" hyperlinkType="None" hyperlinkTarget="Self" > <reportElement x="73" y="0" width="31" height="11" key="textField-1"/> <box></box> <textElement> <font pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold" size="8" isBold="true"/> </textElement> <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA["1111111111111111111111111111"]]></textFieldExpression> </textField> <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="false" evaluationTime="Now" hyperlinkType="None" hyperlinkTarget="Self" > <reportElement x="73" y="11" width="31" height="11" key="textField-2" positionType="Float"/> <box></box> <textElement> <font pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold" size="8" isBold="true"/> </textElement> <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy h.mm a").format(new Date())]]></textFieldExpression> </textField> <staticText> <reportElement x="1" y="0" width="37" height="11" key="staticText-1"/> <box></box> <textElement> <font pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold" size="8" isBold="true"/> </textElement> <text><![CDATA[Client ID: ]]></text> </staticText> <staticText> <reportElement x="1" y="11" width="55" height="11" key="staticText-2" positionType="Float"/> <box></box> <textElement> <font pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold" size="8" isBold="true"/> </textElement> <text><![CDATA[Date Opened: ]]></text> </staticText> </elementGroup><!-- End 1 !--> </band> </detail> <columnFooter> <band height="30" isSplitAllowed="true" > </band> </columnFooter> <pageFooter> <band height="50" isSplitAllowed="true" > </band> </pageFooter> <lastPageFooter> <band height="50" isSplitAllowed="true" > </band> </lastPageFooter> <summary> <band height="50" isSplitAllowed="true" > </band> </summary></jasperReport>
