Aligning multiple textfields in an individual column when next column stretches with overflow

Posted on August 17, 2018 at 6:05am

I'm trying to align multiple textfields in a sigle detailcell of a table, when one of the other columns stretching with overflow.

Here is the current view : 

 

I could stretch the column which only has one element(the last one) and align in in the middle but I need to do the same for the first and third column as well.I need those multiple textfields centered in the middle.

Here is the table code:

<componentElement>
    <reportElement key="expenses" positionType="Float" x="0" y="20" width="842" height="43"
                   isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true" uuid="678aacb4-0394-4dcd-afff-aca01d21532f"/>

            </jr:detailCell>
        </jr:column>
    </jr:table>
</componentElement>

I tried to use stretchType="RelativeToBandHeight" and stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" for those fields but only first textfields in a column stretches and the rest becomes just invisible.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Pierrehakan, I noticed that your picture was uploaded to this forum server, how did you do that? Every time I want to upload a picture I have to find a third party website.

This is what I did. I'm not sure if it satisfies your needs:
