How to properly stretch with overflow for non-detail band

Question

I have fields in title and page header that have multiple lines. I want them to stretch vertically but the problem is the field below the stretched field is missing. I also grouped them using a frame.

The properties I set:

Position Type : Float
Stretch Type : Relative to Tallest Object
Stretch With Overflow : True

Please see below screen shot.

Answer 1

You can try these properties of text : -

For first field (Cashier Name) of title band use this properties :-

Position Type-         Fix Relative to Top

Stretch Type-          Relative to Band Height

Stretch With Overflow -    true

For the second field (Date) set these properties

Position Type-         Fix Relative to Bottom

Stretch Type-          No stretch

Stretch With Overflow-     false

In this report you can see the properties if you run the report with Sample HSQL database in ireport :-
