Hi All,
I'm working on a document that has an element which should always appear at the bottom of the first page, provided that there is only one page in the report. To achieve this, I'm placing the elements of my report into rectangles of the desired size, and setting the 'consumecontainerwhitespace' property on the report to true. So it looks something like this:
In normal SSRS this works perfectly - the green rectangle maintains it's size and the table grows within it. If the top textbox is hidden, then the table simple moves up within the rectangle.
However in AX this isn't the case. If I just put the table in the green rectangle it works as expected, but the addition of the textbox which may be hidden causes the report to break and the green rectangle starts to grow as more rows are added to the table. I've tried to illustrate it here:
This is the desired behaviour (which is achieved in regular SSRS):
This is what happens in AX SSRS (but only when there are hidden elements - unfortunately there has to be!):
Apologies for the long post, I hope it makes some sense. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
