I want to add Banner in my group header and print whenever the group changes. How to I create a banner? I am using iReport 3.7.0 version. Please also note that the report is generated in txt format from jrxml Code used: <textField isBlankWhenNull="true"><reportElement style="banner" mode="Opaque" x="2" y="4" width="801" height="27" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true" printWhenGroupChanges="institution_group"/><textElement textAlignment="Center"/><textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$F{INSTITUTION_CODE}]]></textFieldExpression></textField> But this sets a formatted style not a banner! Thank you in advance. Anyone? Any help will be appreciated.
