Stretch text field with data overflow

Posted on August 14, 2015 at 1:26am

Hi,

I have 9 text fields, I want to stretch all these text fields with data overflow. In my case, for the text field A I set position type to 'fix relative to the top'  and I checked 'stretch with overflow', for the text fields B, C I set position type to 'float'. But I got bad design, so I want the text fields (left-right) be in the same position (aligned) with the text fields A,B and C.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards.

Thank you for your help.

Already the stretch type =>'Relative to Tallest Object'.

I created Frame and group selected elements for each row then the problem is solved.

Here is the result :

Jrxml :

<frame>
            <reportElement uuid="70cb42df-4e8f-4cbc-8d8f-f86a4aef9e3d" positionType="Float" x="119" y="233" width="332" height="20" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true"/>
        </frame>
        <frame>
            <reportElement uuid="4ca6a014-3eca-4c16-ae4e-079216b1e010" positionType="Float" x="119" y="253" width="332" height="20" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true"/>
        </frame>
        <elementGroup>
            <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">

                <textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle"/>
                <textFieldExpression><![CDATA["1"]]></textFieldExpression>

HI,

Put each row in frames so that if any of the field above the text fields expands then the entire second row gets shifted. This makes your design as per the requirement.

Just to explain, your top 3 fields will be in frame 1, middle fields will be in frame 2 and bottom fields will be in frame 3.

Regards,

Ashwath
