Print position

edited March 2007 in General
Hi,
I have a Subreport1. Inside the Subreport1, I have the Subreport2. Inside
the Subreport2, I have the Subreport3. Inside the Subreport3, I have the
Variable1.
How can I know the print position of the Variable 1 at runtime?

Best regards,
Tu

    Hi Tu,

    If you would like to find the print position of a component relative to the
    entire page, you will need to use the DrawCommand properties inside the
    OnDrawCommandCreate event for instance. These properties (Left, Top, etc.)
    are measured in microns (mm thousandths) so you will also need to convert
    the values to your report units. There are utility functions located in the
    ppUtils.pas file to do so.

    ppToMMThousandths
    ppFromMMThousandths
