I have fields in title and page header that have multiple lines. I want them to stretch vertically but the problem is the field below the stretched field is missing. I also grouped them using a frame.
The properties I set:
Position Type : Float
Stretch Type : Relative to Tallest Object
Stretch With Overflow : True
Please see below screen shot.
Tell the report engine to allow the text field to stretch downwards in order to display all its text when it doesn't fit in the defined text field height. This property will work irrespective of cell height that you provide.
Click on the particular textfield in iReport. On the right side, see TextField properties. Check the option "STRETCH WITH OVERFLOW".
The stretchType attribute of a report element can be used to customize the stretch behavior of the element when the enclosing report section stretches itself according to the text fields which stretch themselves.
The details band is indeed the band where each element of the data source is reported. The report engine automatically iterates over the data source and inserts data into the template of the detail band with respective element of the data source. You may of course have several elements on a single page.
You can try these properties of text : -
For first field (Cashier Name) of title band use this properties :-
Position Type- Fix Relative to Top
Stretch Type- Relative to Band Height
Stretch With Overflow - true
For the second field (Date) set these properties
Position Type- Fix Relative to Bottom
Stretch Type- No stretch
Stretch With Overflow- false
In this report you can see the properties if you run the report with Sample HSQL database in ireport :-
