PageHeader rectangle RelativeToTallestObject

2003-08-19 06:01

Hi,

 

i have the following pageHeader defined

 

<pageHeader>

<band height="110">

<staticText>

<reportElement positionType="Float" x="0" y="1" width="420" height="16"/>

<textElement textAlignment="Left">

<font fontName="sansserif" size="12" isItalic="true" isBold="true" />

</textElement>

<text><![CDATA[bLABLABLA ]]></text>

</staticText>

 

<image scaleImage="RetainShape" isUsingCache="true">

<reportElement x="460" y="0" width="80" height="14" />

<imageExpression>$V{imageName}</imageExpression>

</image>

 

<line>

<reportElement x="0" y="13" width="420" height="0"/>

</line>

 

<rectangle>

<reportElement x="0" y="15" width="420" height="18" forecolor="#C0C0C0" backcolor="#C0C0C0"/>

<graphicElement stretchType="NoStretch"/>

</rectangle>

 

<staticText>

<reportElement positionType="Float" x="0" y="17" width="420" height="18"/>

<textElement textAlignment="Left">

<font fontName="sansserif" size="14" isItalic="true" isBold="true" />

</textElement>

<text><![CDATA[Listname]]></text>

</staticText>

 

<staticText>

<reportElement x="450" y="15" width="90" height="13"/>

<textElement textAlignment="Right">

<font fontName="sansserif" size="10" isBold="true" />

</textElement>

<text><![CDATA[blablabla]]></text>

</staticText>

 

<elementGroup>

<rectangle >

<reportElement x="0" y="38" width="540" height="70" forecolor="#C0C0C0" backcolor="#C0C0C0" />

<graphicElement stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject"/>

</rectangle>

<staticText>

<reportElement mode="Transparent" x="2" y="38" width="65" height="12"/> <!--66 -->

<textElement textAlignment="Left">

<font reportFont="Arial_Bold_9"/>

</textElement>

<text><![CDATA[Text1:]]></text>

</staticText>

 

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">

<reportElement mode="Transparent" x="70" y="38" width="180" height="35"/> <!-- 66 -->

<textElement>

<font reportFont="Arial_Normal_8"/>

</textElement>

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[""+$P{inhalt1}]]></textFieldExpression>

</textField>

 

<staticText>

<reportElement positionType="Float" mode="Transparent" x="255" y="38" width="60" height="12"/> <!-- 66 -->

<textElement textAlignment="Left">

<font reportFont="Arial_Bold_9"/>

</textElement>

<text><![CDATA[Text2:]]></text>

</staticText>

 

<textField>

<reportElement positionType="Float" mode="Transparent" x="330" y="38" width="180" height="35"/> <!-- 66 -->

<textElement>

<font reportFont="Arial_Normal_8"/>

</textElement>

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[""+$P{inhalt2}]]></textFieldExpression>

</textField>

</elementGroup>

</band>

</pageHeader>

 

My problem now is that the rectangle in the elementGroup is not visible, when "inhalt1" stretches higher than the band is defined. The content of textfield "inhalt1" is showed correct and the textfield stretches down correct.

 

Why is the rectangle not shown.

 

Thank you

 

Wolfgang

Hi,

 

Are you talking about HTML or XLS format?

Or is the rectangle missing also in PDF or in

the JasperViewer?

 

If it is about HTML or XLS, then you should note that

those built-in "grid" exporters do not know how to

handle overlapping elements. They simply cannot put

two different element in the same grid cell.

This is how they work.

And since your rectangle overlaps with other

elements in the group, it does not appear in those formats.

 

I hope this helps.

Teodor
