Section grouping object (2010)

SYMPTOMS:The section grouping element which can be used in Report Designer to build blocks of information and have formatting options around these (e.g. borders) ignores growing content within the fields it is grouping.

For example, if you add a grouped section containing two text label fields which can grow vertically when the report is displayed, the text labels can grow across the grouping element's borders.

REASON:The section object is a static control that is not aimed for adapting to the objects within the section borders. There is no parent-child relationship between a section object and other objects within the section borders.


WORKAROUND:As an alternative, horizontal lines can be used for the top and the bottom borders. As the text grows the horizontal line image at the bottom border will move accordingly.
