Moving bands and rap

rbuser

Hi,

I have a report in which at runtime I load a sub report from a file.
This works very well. If the sub report happens to have a header
or a footer, I hook then to the main report by setting the Report
property of that bank. That too works right.

If, inside the header or the footer I put Rap code to set something
that is on the header or the footer that piece of code will not work.
For example, if the header has a label and BeforePrint of the header
sets the caption of that label to 'fred', that will not happen.

I fugure that the rap is being compiled when it is read in and when
I just move code to a different band, it is not being recompiled.
Is there some type of refresh that I am missing? Do I need to get
the codemodule and do a compileall?

Thanks,

Joseph Gordon

Child subreports don't support headers and footers. If you load a template,
then the header and footer will be the parent's header and footer bands.

If you want to move a RAP event handler in code from one band to another,
then here is an example. Here is the scenario for this example: the RAP
event handler was defined for the wrong group band when the app was
distributed for a client. In order to fix it without losing the customer's
modifications to the template, and without having to redistirbute the exe,
this demo moves the RAP event handler behind the scenes.This was the only
option because there was no Calc tab defined at runtime for the end user to
make the change
