Shifting and stretching fields

rbuser

I would like to be able to place a text data field on the report, set its
width to a fixed length and then turn the word wrap on.

I then would like to place another text data field immediately below the
first one.

Now when the top field is too long, it should wrap around and then shift the
field below further down.

Is this possible?

For example, if I have Field_1 = "Some Street Address" and Field_2 = "Some
Suburb" I would like to set up the fields like this:

[Field_1 ]
[Field_2 ]

and then see this once the fields are populated:

[Some Street
Address ]
[Some Suburb ]

Thank you.

Hi Peter,

Yes, this is possible using TppRegions. Simply place your initial text
inside a TppRegion component with Stretch set to True. Then place the
second text component in a TppRegion component below the first one, with its
ShiftRelativeTo property set to the first region.

Note: All stretchable components have the capability of shifting relative
to another stretchable component. In the case of non-stretchable
components, regions must be used.
