Runtime Shape Creation

rbuser

I want to create a shape so it fill the whole right side page.

What event should I do to create the shape?

Hi,

The ideal time to create a static object in a report is before Report.Print
is called. You may also be able to accomplish this using an early event
such as the Report.BeforePrint event.

Im trying to do that... But I cant get the Shape to be visible... So I
created the shape at design time, but when I position it to Top =
HeaderBand1.Height, it suppress all the detail records. I want it to be
"float like" over the detail records...

Is it possible to create a Region with the shape inside and do that? What
code should I write?

Thanks

Hi,

If you place a shape with its StretchWithParent set to True inside a Region
with Stretch set to True, the shape will grow with the Region. Note however
that a region can act as a shape as well.

You may also consider placing a shape in the PageStyle band which prints
behind everything in your report. This band can be enabled using the Report
menu option in the designer.
