Printing with columns

rbuser

Hi! I'm useing Report Builder 10.05 v Profesional edition.

There is any way to have control over the columns number in
ppDetailBandBeforePrint?
I would like to be able to swich between 1 and 2 columns in the middle of
the page.
I load images and some are small and some are twice the sizeand should go
from one side to the other of the report and some should load on the same
line(two small images in this case). All is decided at the run time
depending on current recond image loaded in ppDetailBandBeforePrint.

Report should look like this:
_____ _____
|____| |____|
___________
|__________|
_____ _____
|____| |____|

Thank you.

Hi Laura,

Although there is no built-in way to control report columns mid-page, you
can work around this by toggling the visibility of side by side subreports
and full width subreports. This will however require that you manually load
the images into each subreport based on its size. I created a simple
example that demonstrates how this could be done.
