Auto-shift boxes

[fuhrj]

I am generating an invoice report that can contain a company logo. If the company logo is not supplied, then I want the address block to move to the space occupied by the logo, so that there is no empty space.

The result should look like this:

With Logo :

[LOGO: Image] [Address Block: Textbox]

Without Logo:

[Address Block]

How can I make Address Block shift to the left to occupy the logo's space when the logo is empty? I tried playing with Auto Grow and Auto Shrink but it has no effect.

Thanks!

I've answered my own question. By using the code below in the Page Rendering event, I can
shift the address block to the left when the logo is null and to the right when it is not.

Code: Select all

if (Company.logo == null) {
                Image2.Enabled = false;
                Panel1.Left = .1;
            } else {
                if (Company.logo.Length == 0) {
                    Image2.Enabled = false;
                    Panel1.Left = .1;
                } else {

                    StiReport report = new StiReport();
double imgWidth = report.Unit.ConvertToHInches(img.Width);

                    Panel1.Left = (imgWidth / 10000) + .2;                
};
}

Hello.

You could set the Can Shrink property of the image to true and enable Decreasing Size Shift mode of the text component.
Look at the attached report template.
