Print Label

rbuser

Is there options in the Print Setup dialog box that I can set up:
1) number of labels on each row
2) space between each label
3) space between each row ?

I have an old Access application has such options when press the Print icon
on the print preview screen.

Hi Alan,

Unfortunately there are no built in features that will allow you to adjust
the position of text objects in a row. It would be fairly easy to create
your own dialog and position the objects yourself in code using a report
object loop to find each text object in the report.

Tech Tip: Loop Thru All Objects in a Report
---------------------------------------------

A ReportBuilder report is composed of a set
of components. The basic structure is

Reports.Bands[].Objects[]

The bands and objects within the report can
be accessed directly by object name or
via the Bands and Objects array properties.

Below is an example of using the Bands and
Objects array properties to change the font for
all objects on a report.


uses
ppClass;


procedure AssignFontToReport(aFont: TFont; aReport: TppCustomReport);
var
liBand: Integer;
liObject: Integer;
lObject: TppComponent;

begin

for liBand := 0 to aReport.BandCount-1 do

for liObject := 0 to aReport.Bands[liBand].ObjectCount-1 do
begin
lObject := aReport.Bands[liBand].Objects[liObject];

if lObject.HasFont then
lObject.Font := aFont;

end;

end;
