I have a TextField() with a quite long text , sometimes last lines are not visible on screen (without scrolling).
Now I want to detect if e.g. word IBM is currently visible on screen, or is it outside of screen. Any ideas how to do this? I want to display this particular word IBM by scrolling myself the textField() to the right position.
Check the documentation of the getLineIndexOfChar() to determine the line which contains a given character, then compare the retreived value with scrollV and bottomScrollV to determine if the given line is visible or not.

I know that the question was submitted a lot of times, but this is driving me mad.
I'm trying to make a landscape A4 report, printer friendly. As I could see in lots of threads before I tried to respect the fact that the body size must be inferior or equal to the physical page, including margins, and columns in the count.
Here are my document properties
Report:
Body:
I inserted a first rectangle with some contents, at that point, no extra blank page, here is the rectangle location :
Right after I inserted a second rectangle with same dimensions as previous one:
Both first pages are rendered correctly with the rectangle at its expected location, but I get a 3rd extra blank page...
ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace property is set to true, and this did not help...
Do you have any trick to get definitely rid of these blank pages ?
Thanks a lot !
EDIT : Just added the report designer view, as requested
Don't know how I didn't notice it before, but your body height is bigger than your page height defined in the report properties. If your report is supposed to generate two pages, that second page will have to add an extra 3 centimeters and cause that third page.
I finally managed to handle this the following way : I put my first rectangle 0,5cm under the header (with a forced pagebreak after) and if I use the same size of rectangle for everypage, ensuring that there's a 0,5 cm space between each rectangle, I can manage to display content on multiple pages, with rectangle bordel always located at the same position. Guess I should keep this method for all future reports :) Thanks a lot for your advices !
I've been searching and searching for an answer to my question, but I can't seem to find anything. Does anyone know of a way to wrap/float text around a chart or image in SSRS? I was hoping for some kind of option similar to the blue one below in Word, but no luck there:
I found the following post, which has a good example image of what I'm looking for, but doesn't have any helpful answers (I'm not using Crystal Reports, I'm using BIDS SSRS through Visual Studio 2015).
Crystal report (or SSRS) flowing text around image
I've tried the following:
Overlaying a text box on top of the image (rendering shoves the image below the text)
Trying to find or create a mad scientist algorithm that can split the text after a certain number of characters, but not in the middle of a word, chop off the rest, and continue the rest of the text in a separate textbox under the image (not a mad scientist, so no luck)
Thanks for any tips!
There's no built in way to do this in SSRS.
Someone wrote a function that determines how many pixels are in a given text string.
Truncate textbox content with ellipsis in SSRS
Public Function TextWidth(str As String) AS Double
'Returns the width, in pixels, of a string, assuming Tahoma size 8.
Dim size As System.Drawing.SizeF
Dim font As New system.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 8)
size = System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText(str, font)
TextWidth = size.Width
End Function
You may be able to use this to figure out where to make a break in the first text box and spill the rest to the second. You'd just need to do testing to figure out how many pixels of text your first text box holds.
Once you figure out how many pixels would fit (I would just fill the first text box with text then use the function to see how many pixels that text is), change the other TextCap function to return either the first or second part at the pixel split. You could add an Argument in the function to indicate whether to return the first or second part of the text. Then use the function in the first text box to return the first part and the second part in the second text box.
It's a bit of work but seems feasible. It depends on how bad you want it and how much time you have.
I work in a research project, and we have a python script that generates html texts that have a number of words highlighted. I would like to make the position of these highlighted words in the texts visible on the scroll bar. One way we could do this is by adding a special character (e.g. "$") after each of the marked words, and then run a search on this character.
We would like this character to be invisible, in order not to mess up the text visually.
I tried making a span class named "hidden", with font size 0. This does the job of hiding the $ sign, but Chrome search suddenly does not indicate the location on the scroll bar anymore. The search box still shows there are 57 results for "$", but the scroll bar highlights are gone, and clicking the "up" and "down" buttons does not bring me to the location of the next result.
I also tried inserting invisible commas (ampersandic;) in the text, but did not manage to search for these.
Other solutions, anyone?
Thanks a lot!
You can use opacity: 0 which will visually hide the element but it will not remove the space of character.
To minimise the space you can decrease the font size to the minimum like font-size: 1px
Say I type in 5000 words in a textarea box that gets stored in a database and then call it onto the page. What can I do so it stops at a certain point and travels starts on the next row?
You can use word_wrap
$formated_string = wordwrap($str,1000,"<br>",true);

I have a column graph, that shows a trend of consumption over time,
The y-axis being consumption and x-axis being time in month,
I have to implement a target consumption.
I implemented a target, by adding data field with a Line chart type, this is a constant, and will just display a horizontal line.
The problem i am facing is, if there is only one month, the line disappears? is there a way not to have it disappear, or is there a better way to add line target in column charts in SSRS
I am using SSRS 2008
Adding a StripLine may do what you want. They are a little hard to find, but here is how:
1) Make sure that the properties window is open beforehand. If it isn't, either hit F4 or go to the View Menu -> Properties Window.
2) Left click on your vertical axis to select it.
3) Select the StripLines entry in the Properties Window and click the ellipsis:
4) Click Add
5) Starting off, the stripline is invisible, so it can be a bit hard to adjust. :). To make it visible as a thin line, set BorderStyle to "Solid". Adjust the color with BorderColor and width with BorderWidth (not StripWidth). While positioning the line, I like to set the color to something obnoxious and make it wide to make it easier to spot.
5) To position it, you want to set the IntervalOffsetType to match the type of your interval you have set on the vertical axis. Then IntervalOffset to the y-value of where you want your target line to appear. Since you only want 1 line to appear and not repeat, you must keep Interval set to auto.
6) Once you get it positioned, make final adjustments to the appearance.
I had a hard time finding it for my Databar. I stumbled onto this...
Make sure Properties toolbar is visible
Click the Databar to highlight
Find ChartAreas in properties toolbar, click to open ChartAreas dialog
Find ValueAxes in ChartAreas dialog, click to open ChartAxis dialog
Find StripLines in ChartAxis dialog, click to open ChartStripLine dialog
I was playing around a little earlier, and i noticed that i can change the interval for the major and minor gridlines, AND change the format for the lines. I had the bright idea of making the minor lines look like the major ones i had and format the major lines to look like a target line. I don't know if this'll work for you buy you could try it.
