Background1 / Background2 and Groups

rbuser

Hi,

I've noticed that when using the Backgroun1 and Background2 properties
on the detailband to alternate background colors that these are reset
whenever a new group is triggered (when a group is involved).

I was wondering if there is a way for it to "continue through" groups so
it doesn't reset please?

Thanks & Regards

Adam

Hi Adam,

Currently the Band background feature is determined by the
DetailBand.Count property which is reset for each group. We will
consider enhancing this to use a separate counter for a later version of
ReportBuilder.

As a workaround, you could manually show and hide colored rectangles
based on your own counter which increases each time the detail band is
printed.

Hi Niko,


Thanks for the explanation, and also considering this as a new feature
Niko - really appreciate your work!

Have a great weekend

Good Morning Niko,

I was wondering if you have had the chance to consider this as a feature?

It would be very handy for us if we could just set and forget the
background colors without having to worry about groups resetting the colors?

Thanks & Regards

Adam.

Hi Adam,

This is still on our list of possible enhancements. Thanks for the
followup.

Hi Nico,

I see you have released version 18. I was just wondering if this feature
may have made it into this version?

Thanks & Regards

Adam.

Hi Adam,

This did not make it into RB 18.

We will keep it on our possible enhancements list for a future release
and reevaluate its feasibility and demand when the time comes.
