Line Stretch with Frame property

The Line Stretch with Frame property specifies the name of the frame or repeating frame to which the boilerplate line is associated. When set, this property anchors the line at both endpoints to the associated frame. Thus, the line stretches the same amount as the associated frame stretches when the report is formatted.

If the line is vertical, the top endpoint is anchored to the top of the frame and the bottom endpoint is anchored to the bottom of the frame. If the line is horizontal, the left endpoint is anchored to the left side of the frame and the right endpoint is anchored to the right side of the frame.

Using anchors, boilerplate lines, and Line Stretch with Frame, you would edit the layout as follows:

When the report is formatted, the explicit anchors cause the group fields to appear at the same frequency as the master repeating frame. Line L1 repeats for each record in the detail repeating frame, and lines L2 through L5 stretch to cover the whole length of the outermost group frame.
