reportnet: One column list box to fit exactly within a table Cell

[roberda]

Hi,

under report studio, In a table cell with a fix Width, I insert a one column list box.
The list column width has also the same value as the parent cell.

now when I run the report in pdf the list column does not fit exactly the parent table cell.

I used padding and other margin, but with no result.

thanks for your comments on this

extract of the xml:

<tableCell>
<style><CSS value="padding:0px;vertical-align:top;text-align:right;width:25px;border-bottom-style:none;border-left:1.5pt solid black;border-right:1pt solid black"/></style>

<list refQuery="CALENDRIER">
<listColumnTitles><listColumnTitle><textItem><queryItemRef content="label" refItem="CJOU"/></textItem><style><CSS value="display:none"/></style></listColumnTitle></listColumnTitles>
<listColumns><listColumn><textItem><queryItemRef refItem="CJOU"/><style><CSS value="width:25px"/></style></textItem><style><CSS value="padding:1px 0px 1px 0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:6pt;vertical-align:top;text-align:center;border-top-style:none;border-left-style:none;border-right-style:none;width:25px;height:3px;border-bottom:0.5pt solid black"/></style><conditionalStyle refVariable="DateJourJaune"><style><CSS value="background-color:yellow"/></style><style refVariableValue="1"/></conditionalStyle></listColumn></listColumns>
<style>
<CSS value="border-collapse:collapse;width:25px"/>
</style>
<XMLAttribute name="RS_ListGroupInfo" value=""/></list>
</tableCell>

I found the solution, here is the answer for each level of objects

1. At the table level: border-collapse:collapse;table-layout:fixed"

2. at table cell, you need to define a fix size with a padding at zero: padding:0px;width:3cm

3. at <list> box: border-collapse:collapse

4. finally for queryItemRef : set its width equal to the table cell one defined above: width:3cm



example:

report xml:lang="en" xmlns="

<layoutList>
<layout>

<pageSet>
