Anchors left and right

rbuser

Hi,

is there a reason why the Left and Right Anchors can not be combined? I
have a report with a memo on it that needs to anchor to both sides if the
user adjusts the margins (the report itself is not user-editable, only the
margins are). Using ReportBuilder 10.05.

Hi Mark,

Anchors in ReportBuilder are only able to affect the position of a component
with respect to the report boundaries. They are not able to resize a
component like with Delphi forms. See the TppComponent.Anchors topic in the
RBuilder help for more information.

Thanks for the response, but I already figured that part out . I also
checked the source code, it's not possible to override this behaviour in
descendant TppComponents (apart from restricting it even more). I can
somewhat understand why Top/Bottom would be difficult, but I'm wondering
why having Left/Right combined wouldn't work.

If it's simply because it was designed that way, you may consider this a
feature request. If there's a reason why this would cause problems I'd be
interested to hear about it too.

In either case I could probably work around it by writing some code to
resize the controls.


Regards,
Mark
