JasperReport to set height of textfield dynamically

[plaidshirtakos]

I would like to set height of `textField` dinamically. Height should be adjusted automatically according to length of text in it. I set stretchType to RelativeToTallestObject, but I get error message when `Stretch with Overflow option` is true.

        <textField>            <reportElement x="0" y="100" width="550" height="60" uuid="">                <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.height" value="px"/>                <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.width" value="px"/>                <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.y" value="px"/>            </reportElement>            <textElement textAlignment="Justified" markup="html">                <font fontName="DejaVu Sans" size="10" isBold="false"/>            </textElement>            <textFieldExpression></textFieldExpression>        </textField>[/code]

<textField textAdjust="StretchHeight">    <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="1520" height="15" uuid="6cb61704-2f0a-4b05-b714-f0219175f001">        <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.element.name" value="content"/>    </reportElement>    <box topPadding="35" leftPadding="35" bottomPadding="35" rightPadding="35"/>    <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{point4}]]></textFieldExpression></textField>[/code]

Just use textAdjust="StretchHeight" in your text field. It's will be stretch base on the content inside.

It has the same effect, whitespace still exists.

Just an addition to the answer from I am Leo, because I had some similar problems recently. If your Studio version is < 6.10.0, you need to use

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">[/code]

instead. For versions >= 6.10.0 it needs to be

<textField textAdjust="StretchHeight">[/code]

I have tried the solution described here,but no effect! I have version 6.20.  Yes, the textfield get bigger, but it collides with the text in the textfield under it.How can it be solved?
