Printing the summary band on te next page if it doesn't fit totally

rbuser

I would like to print the summary band on the next page if it doesn't fit
totally on the current page. If it fits, it has to be printed on the current
page. How can this be done? The new page property always prints the summary
band on a new page, so that is no option.

How can i resolve this problem,

Best regards,

Place everything in the summary band in a stretching region component which
has been resized to the size of the summary band. There is a KeepTogether
property on the region component which will force the region to print on on
page if possible.

Can i do this during run-time? Is is possible to place everything in the
summary band in a run time created region?
I've tried to change the parent of the components but the parent property of
a TppComponent is readonly.

Set the Region property of a component so that the component will be
controlled by the region.

Jim, Thanks for all the answers.

There is only one thing left which goes wrong. I have existing components in
a layout.
Now i create a region at run time and set the Region property for this
components which are in the summary band.
When i print the layout, the components with the changed region property do
not appear. It seems the are
hidden under the region. I guess that this happens because the parent of the
component is still the summaryband.

Can you tell met what I am doing wrong?

Regards, Wim.

When you create the region, you can call Region.SendToBack and it will push
the region behind the other controls so you can see them. You could also
set the Region.Transparent = true.
