Centering Variable Content

rbuser

I have a subreport detail band with photographs in a blob field.


As the report is constructed now, the photos "stack."
I'd like to have the report arrange the photos horizontally up to a
threshold number of images. It would also be preferable that they autosize.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thus-

Currently- images are stacked. Each photo = one record in child table.

Item Description1 (Header)

Photo1 centered (subreport detail records)
Photo2 centered
Photo3 centered
Photo4 centered

Desired- images arrange horizontally.

Item Description1

Photo1 Photo2 Photo3 Photo4 (centered autospaced, preferably autosized)

Item Description2

Photo1 Photo2 (centered autospaced, preferably autosized)

Item Description3

Photo1 Photo2 Photo3 (centered autospaced, preferably autosized)

Hi John,

Depending on the complexity of your report, you may be able to get the
effect you need by using LeftToRight columns. Note however that left to
right traversal does not support dynamic height detail bands.

Set the number of columns using the Report.Columns property and
traversal direction using the DetailBand.ColumnTraversal property.

If LeftToRight columns will not work in your case, you will need to
manually create and load each image for each detail band at runtime.

Thanks much.

The images load left to right...working on the centering issue.
