Wordwrap up instead of down?

rbuser

Is there a way to wordwrap up instead of down? This may seem like a strange
question, but consider the following report:
There are several columns. One is "Net Sales" and other is "Cumulative Net
Sales". The first column header fits on one line so I place the label at
the bottom of the header band, but the second header doesn't so I place the
label higher and turn word wrap on:

Net Sales
-----------
1
2
...

Cumulative
Net Sales
-----------
1
3
...

This works fine, but not if I want to support multiple languages. I'm
translating all the captions at run time and I have no idea how much room
"Net Sales" might take up in some other language. I would like to find some
way to make the label wordwrap up instead of down when I put in a longer
caption at runtime.

Is there any easy way to accomplish this? Has anyone else encountered this
problem before?

I think you will need to calculate the width of each word and calculate
how many lines you need. Then move the label component up/down and size
its height.
