Grid Lines ......

rbuser

I am going to need to implement grids and cell merging also for repeated
data. Can anybody tell me firstly what events I would respond to and how I
would know in these events whether the 'cell' that is being drawn is
currently being suppressed by the 'Suppress repeats' option so that I can
withhold the drawing of the cell. Also how do I know whether or not this is
the last/first cell in a suppressed range. This will be required as I only
wish to show 1 border in between rows as opposed to two which would occur if
I just drew a border around all cells of data. Also I will need to repeat
suppressed over page breaks, how will I know when this event occurs.

Is there really no easier way to implement grids in Report Builder, this
does dissapoint me as otherwise it is an excellent tool.We spent six months
looking for a .NET component and in the end choise RB as the other were
crap.

Are there any plans to port to .NET?

OK So ReprintOnSubsequent can be used to force the reprint on another
page....... Do I Know that I am in ReprintOnSubsequent mode?

There is a DetailBand.Overflow property you can check to see if a detail
band is printing on the next as well. This is like printing a
"continued...' label in the main reports demos #71.

If you want to suppress repeated values, then here is an example to do that
manually:
