Stretch field over remaining space in databand

[semtec]

Hello,

I have a report with the following structure:

reportHeader
groupHeader
databand
groupFooter
reportFooter

In the databand i have several fields, but the 2nd one is a text field which can contain several lines.
I have the properties set like: WordWrap = True, CanGrow = True
When the text in the field covers several lines, the next line in the databand is printed after the last line in the field (see screenshot 1)
screenshot1

What I want is that the next line is printed right after the first line (see screenshot 2)

How can I do this?

With kind regards,

René

I'm having the same problem in some reports that I make. I'd like to know a good sollution too.

You are probably not going to like this but here is what worked for me sometimes .....

You could:
- make 4 string variables
- Concat each row with an "Environment.NewLine"
- Print the variables in the groupfooter
- in the afterPrint event of the groupfooter... Empty the variables.

Problem with this is: Your first row, first column has multiple lines... so the alignment of the other rows will be wrong unless you go count the characters and add another "Environment.NewLine" when needed



Told you you wouldn't like this

Hello,

As a workaround, please try to set the CanGrow property of the DataBand to false.
If the issue is still present, please send to us a mrt file with data for analysis.

Thank you.
