Grouped report with ColumnTraversal set ctLeftToRight

rbuser

Hi,

A customer would like to start the printing of stickers on the first
column when a group starts. With left to right this doesn't seem possible.
Is it in another way possible to add an empty sticker between groups?
They have a hard time to distinguish between the stickers and need some
way to see where a new group starts.

Try implementing the Group.AfterBreak like this

procedure TForm1.ppGroup1AfterGroupBreak(Sender: TObject);
begin
ppReport1.Engine.CurrentColumn := ppReport1.Columns;
end;

In a simple test using RB 14.08 that caused the report engine to start each
group in column 1. (In a future version perhaps we can enhance the report
engine to do this automatically when Group StartColumn is set to True. I'll
add this to the ToDo list)

Hi Nard,

Thanks for the solution. Works nice even from RAP via passthru.

When you change it can you also make sure when groups are used with
'start new column' set to false, the detail band will print without
empty gaps like it is at the moment.
