Wish list for RB standard: Way to keep components in different bands lined up
Hi,
Latest RB standard, for Delphi7.
During the design process of the layout of a complex report, one often has
various controls that must line up horizontaly. If one often have to move
these around during the process of trying out various layouts, and fine
tuning the looks, it would be very hard to constantly have to keep
realigning components that must line up horizontaly. When they are all in
the same band, I now put them into a TppRegion, and that way they all move
together. (smily face). Unfortunately, this method does not work across
different bands. Is it possible, for a future release, to come up with a way
to keep a set of componets aligned, even across various bands and groupings?
It may be something like a "special" TppComponent, with a collection
property of other TppComponets on the report that must always allign
themselves to the left, right, top or bottom of the "special component".
Otherwise an extended version of a "Region" that can work accross bands, and
maintain the vertical offseet in all those bands, not only the one where the
regions positiopn(0,0) resides!
Best regards
