Can container push text below ?

fkmfkm · Post by **fkmfkm** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 11:46 pm

In my Footer band i have one container and another text below the container.

I have set the container to Can Grow=True. Is it possible to have the growing container push the text box below ?

Thank you.

As far as I know, this sort of thing is handled by the ShiftMode property of the text component or container component. The default is Increasing Size so if the Container becomes larger that it's current set size It will grow and push the text component below it down.

If you need the text component to also move up if the container shrinks you'd need to set the descreasing size of the ShiftMode property for the text component also.

If I put the top border of the text sticking to the bottom border of the container it does push.

The problem is the text repeats..(cause the container contains datasource with many records)

I do not want this repetition. I just want the textbox to follow after the container.

You can put a child band after the Footer band and move your text box to this child band.

Thank you.

Ok I will try.

Just as a question: Why does the shiftmode not working ?

Unfortunately, shift mode isn't working with containers, this is a limitation of the report engine.

Thank you.
