VERTICAL BAND STRETCHING, WHAT AM I MISSING?

fr44ope

Hello,

I'm new to fastreports and have been working with the trial version for a week now. So far I think it's a
great tool. My question follows:

I have created a simple report. It consists of four bands:

a reporttitle band
a pageheader band
a masterdata band
a pagefooter band

everything works well. the one problem that I have has to do with vertically stretching two of the fields in the masterdata band
when the content to be displayed is longer than the alloted width of the field. I have two such fields that may contain a lot of text
(they are obtained from a database memo field) that I would like to display word-wrapped and have the field dynamically expand
vertially to accommodate all the text. Right now the text is either truncated or falls off the right edge of the page.

For both of the above fields, word wrap is set to true. The height of the masterdata band is 0.5 and the height of the two fields within the
band is also 0.5

I also have the masterdata bands stretched value set to true.

What do I need to do to make this work?

Thanks very much.

Oliver

Set the stretchmode prop of the memoviews also usually smmaxheight.
you may also want to set the databands allowsplit prop in case it needs to split over a page.
