skipping a detail line

rbuser

Good Morning Again!

How do i skip to the next detail band for printing when i want
to leave a blank space and print in the next line instead.
Want to do this under a given condition when traversion left to right1

Thank You.

For left to right column traversal, you can trick the engine into moving to
the first column of the next row. For an example, I created a simple group
in my left to right columnar report. Because the default behavior is that
the group detail continues in the same column that it left off in the
previous group, it may not be what you want. So, in order to shift the first
detail of the subsequent group to the first column, one row down, you can
make the following call in the group before break event:

procedure TForm1.ppGroup1BeforeGroupBreak(Sender: TObject);
begin
ppReport1.Engine.CurrentColumn := -1;
end;
