JasperReport : allow large value to be displayed in a textfield - jasper-reports

I want to display a value in a textField even if the value is larger that the width of the textfield. I don't want it to be truncated.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

You can enable wrapping text by setting the textField stretchWithOverflow attribute to true. This works as long as the expression time is NOW. It does not work for delayed evaluation.

How to get a value from TextPainter to NatTableContentTooltip

I am trying to get somehow value of text = getTextToDisplay(cell, gc, rectangle.width, text); parameter from TextPainter#paintCell() into NatTableContentTooltip#getText(). I did not find the value in event or cell parameter of the getText() method. I need some condition, if displayed text is the same as a value in cell (not cutted for narrow cells). Thanks for a hint anybody!
The simple answer is, you can't. It is a painter that renders text according to table/cell states.

JasperReports long field's border

I've got a long text field which wraps to another page, the problem is that the border on first page does not matches end of page...
I guess I coul've fixed it by adding some Frame element, but I couldn't achive it by now.
thanks!
I guess the cause of this problem was "Strech type: relative to tallest object"
my solution was to put all the fields in an outlined frame
and disable fields bottom border

Android tabwidget each tab text

I have tabview like below, I want to change text all caps to:
Purchases
Recharge Amount
and also want to size to text.
How can I do it?
If the fragment is coded correctly, have a look in /res/values/strings.xml. In there should be a list of strings, and you will be able to update their formatting there.
If you can't find them in there, check the fragment itself for the values.
As for text size, in the fragment itself you can add a value to the TextView element (or the element that is holding the header).
android:textSize="16dp"
Adding that will change the size of the font.

GXT 3 spinnerField validation

I want to validate that user cannot change spinner value manually by typing in text box of spinner.
For example a field sales multiple = x which I fetched from server not fix.
and displays a spinner field with limitation of like bellow
spinner.setMinValue = x
spinner.setIncrement = x
spinner.setValue = x
so user forcefully select a value which is multiple with x. e.g. if x=3 the user have to enter 3,6,9... and so on.
So here my issue is if I type a 2 in spinner field text box. GXT widget accept that value.
Posible solutions:
Is there any predefined properties of spinnerfield that i forget to set it?
Is there any predefined validator for this?
Can I set text box of spinner field read only by css so user cannot focus on text box but still change a value.
If none of above how to achieve manually?
i've searched a bit in the different classes and I don't see either a precise method which would set what you want.
Don't know about one, and even with one, a validator doesn't change the value in the input field, but maybe it's enough for your needs.
You can disable the text input by calling setEditable(boolean) on the spinnerfield (testSpinner.setEditable(false);)
Maybe you could search around the IntegerPropertyEditor, I haven't tried but as long as a new Spinner is like this:
SpinnerField<Integer> testSpinner = new SpinnerField<Integer>(new NumberPropertyEditor.IntegerPropertyEditor());
you can seen that there is another Constructor for IntegerPropertyEditor, which takes a "NumberFormat" param, but there is no NumberFormart() constructor, so I'm not sure about how you create your own one, but that could be an idea (to format numbers in the input to be a multiple of the increment).
The last option would be that Sencha forgot this possibility and that you should report this as a "bug" on the forum ?
Hope to have helped a bit, good luck :).

How to stretch a text field relative to data width in Jasper Reports

I have a text field followed by a static text field and I am trying to do 2 things with it:
Get the text field to stretch horizontally (not wrap) when text is longer then the field width and
Push the static text field right when the text field to the left of it stretches
Both of the fields are contained within a frame.
I have both fields set to positionType=float and the text field set to stretchWithOverflow=true, which enable text to wrap vertically but not stretch horizontally.
Is it possible to achieve 1 and 2 above? If so How?
Instead of having 2 text fields (dynamic and static), you can have 1 text field with value as $F{Field} + "statix text". This will probably fix your issue. Also, you can set the "width" and "stretch with overflow" properties, as per your requirements.
Well it's bad news!! According to Jaspersoft's documentation on stretching fields it is not possible to stretch the width of a field:
"Usually, the stretching process refers to the height adjustment only.
When stretching report elements, adjusting the width could affect also
the page width and raise unexpected errors at runtime (for instance,
truncated information could be printed out on pages). This is why
stretching an element let its width unchanged, while its height gets
definitely enlarged in order to make room for all information that
have to be displayed." (Jaspersoft documentation [v4.5.0], 2011)
However a solution to the original issue can be found here thanks to #mdahlman
Just select text field and from its textfield properties choose "stretch with overflow" and it will change its height dynamically according to text .enter image description here
