Column Alignment in a subreport

edited January 2012 in General
Hi

I have a subreport at the end of a report for signatures with three
columns. The signatures are displayed from left to right thus the first
signature is on the left. Is there any way to render it from right to left?

To illustrate

if there is 3 signatures they should be rendered as:

3. signature 2. signature 1. signature

if there is 1 signature it should be rendered as:

1. signature

I'm using RB 12.05 Ent.

    Hi Bora,

    ReportBuilder does not support right to left column traversal.

    Are the signatures inside a dataset? If so, you could reorder the
    dataset using a query so the third signature traverses first.

    Hi Nico,

    Unfortunately reordering the dataset doesn't work when I have only one
    signature, because it is rendered at the left corner. I have to fill the
    dataset with empty signatures for it to work.

    Thanks for the help, I will figure out something.

    Best Regards

    Hi Bora,

    Another option might be to extract the signatures into a data structure
    such as a string list. Then using a JITPipeline you could display the
    signatures in reverse order on the report. If there are less than three
    signatures available, you could manually enter a blank value so the
    first or second signature will appear starting from the right.
