How do I manually force a Page Break

rbuser

I use Delphi 2010 & ReportBuilder 11.... and I am trying to force a page
break on my report, and having trouble doing so. I cannot use the
GroupBand.NewPage property as I don't want to page break every time the
Group Band changes... only sometimes.

My report is a Menu Calendar type of report with dates & meals... I created
a Meals Group Band, and every time a meal changes, it calls the Meal Group
Band... and in the beforePrint event for the Meals Group HeaderBand, I check
the SQL to see what meal I'm on... and if its the meal I want....then I want
to say 'Page Break NOW'.... and if its not the meal I want, then I don't
want to page break.

I've searched around... and I found an old email that Nico wrote that
suggests using the component TppPageBreak. There were no details on how to
use TppPageBreak [other than just saying to place it on the form], and I
cannot find any detailed help on it... or more importantly, a sample of code
for it. I cannot put the TppPageBreak component directly on my form... I
need to create it manually, and then call it at RunTime.

So, how do I manually create this TppPageBreak component in the code, and
then initiate a call to it during the Meal Group Band, only when I need to?

Hi Denise,

Creating a TppPageBreak component is similar to creating any other
report component in code. You simply create the component and assign
it's Band property and location.

I do not believe you will need to use this. I would suggest checking the
field value of the group before it prints (OnGetBreakValue perhaps) and
try toggling the NewPage property of the group based on that value.
