Capture item height during run time

rbuser

I need to capture the height of items in the detail of my report as
they change. Some of the items on my report will be effected
depending on how long the report's detail ends up. How can
I record this information during run time? I have attempted to
store this information through variables but the height never
shows as changing, just staying at what it is set at when created
at design time.

What are you trying to do once you know the heights?

I am trying to create a report that with a few regions that will change the
visible property based
on the page but, there are specific criteria that will cause a new page to
be triggered. The only
way I can think of to control the visible property of those regions is to
measure the length of the
detail of each page group before a new page is triggered. Then calculate
the detail length that will
print prior to the page break and set visible = true if these regions fall
in that page range. If you can
think of a more efficient way, let me know.

Thanks alot for your input.
