Dynamic Summary-band always on bottom ..

rbuser

Hi!

We are using D5 with RB7.04 Enterprise.

I have the problem that we must print a dynamic Summaryband alsways on
the bottom of the last page. On the Summary could be some
Child-Subreports. So I don't know the exact height of this band.

I tried to get the final Height of this Band in the different Events
like (Summery.BeforePrint, BeforeGenerate, AfterPrint, AfterGenerate),
but I never get the final height
(showmessage(FloatToStr(Summary.Height)) and so I can't set the
Summary.Printposition to the correct position (pagelength -
SummaryHeight).

The best way would be have the option to set the PrintPosition to
something like -1 which means, calculate the final Heigth and than set
Printposition to Pagelength - Final Height.

Is there any way to handle this?

Hi Gunter,

Take a look at the following example of moving a dynamic summary band and
all of its drawcommands to the bottom of the last page. This should get you
on the right track.

I modified my printing system and now it works with every report very well.
