Multiple Reports as one single report.

rbuser

Hi..

I have multiple reports and I would like them to print as one single
report.. one after the other.. It can?t be printing them one after another
becouse I want them to be seen at preview as only one report..

Any suggestion..?

Tahnks in advance..

Create a new report which has SectionStyle (Set the PrintBehavior property)
subreports in it. Then load each one of your reports into one of the
subreports. Section style subreports always print on a new page. When you
print the main report it will print all of them together as one report.

Thanks for your answer, but it works well only at design-time (as far as I
tried).. I didn?t make myself clear, sorry..

The fact is that I need this at runtime, becouse I do some run-time work
with all diferent reports..

Like:

var

Report1: TppMyOwnReport1;

Report2: TppMyOwnReport2;

begin

Report1: TppMyOwnReport1.Create(...);

Report2: TppMyOwnReport2.Create(...);

Report1.DoSomething; // like setting column widths

Report2.DoAnotherThing; // like setting field display formats..

// and now?

end;

Thanks in advance..

For the single preview requirement, you'll need to build a single report.
You can dynamically create subreports in a detail band and load a report
template into the subreport. There is an example of dynamically loading a
subreport in your installation under
..\Delphi\RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\DynamicSubReportLoading

To create subreports at runtime, here is an example
