End-User ShiftRelativeTo Question

rbuser

Hi,

I have the following question:

My envirnment: delphi5.01 and RB 7.02

If I put two Memo and many DBText into a region in the end-user Report:

which One Memo1 shiftRelativeTo Memo2 another.

I can achieve it at Delphi Design Time environment by using the object
inspector

But in the RB end-user runtime environment, Once I put two Memo Into the
Region, the ShiftRelativeTo

Popup Option is disabled. Since I need this two memo and the DbText print
within the same page,

I put it all into the region and set region keeptogether to True. But this
method I Lost the ShiftRelativeTo ability of those Memo.

How can I Do Memo ShiftRelativeTo and KeepTogether within a region at
End-User Report Environment?

The popup menu is hinting that you shouldn't try to configure it this way
using the object inspector. It may work when you set it this way in the
object inspector, however, it may not work in all cases, so it isn't
supported. We were trying to keep the things you can do in the region
limited to simpler operations. However, if you want to keep the detail band
together, rather than use a region, create a group around the detail band
based on the detail key field so that it breaks on every detail record. Then
set the group to KeepTogether. Then get rid of the region and you'll be able
to set the shift relative to property of the lower memo.
