How to make my columns to have same Height?

rbuser

Hello, I have one report, is set to Columns Report. I want, if possible, to
set all Height to the same. Example: I have 10 columns, and one the columns
have 5 records. I get the columns who have the bigest records and set the
height for others columns, to make visible clean.

I hope my friends undestaind my poor english.

Thanks for all.

Hi Fellipe,

There is no built-in feature in ReportBuilder to line each column up with
eachother.

For the columns with a small number of records, would you like to increase
the space between each record so they line up with the columns with a large
number of records?

To successfully do something like this, you would need to know the number of
records the largest column contains before the report generates. You would
also need to know the number of records each column contains before hand so
you can increase the size of the detail band to line each column with the
largest one.

As an alternative, you could possible place the columns inside a fixed style
subreport and place a box around that subreport giving the effect that
everything is lined up.

Hello Nico, but when I have 5 records in one column, when I change the
height off detail band, I change for all 5 record, correct?

Other possibilities is to make detail band phStatic, but I have the same
problem a tell you upper....


thanks

Hi Fillipe,

Yes, the idea would be that you set the detail band to phStatic and alter
the height on the fly while the report is being generated. For instance, if
each column is a group, you could use the GroupHeaderBand.BeforePrint to
change the height of the detail band to line everything up. This however
will require you to know how many records are in that column and how large
the column will need to be before the report starts generating.
