height of ppDetailBand

rbuser

Is it possible to change the height of the ppDetailBand?
Normally I have the following:

row1 col2 col3 col4
row2 col2 col3 col4
row3 col2 col3 col4
row4 col2 col3 col4

But now I want to add an extra row but only if there is some text in it.
Like this:

row1 col2 col3 col4
row2 col2 col3 col4
extra text
row3 col2 col3 col4
row4 col2 col3 col4

Is this possible? I don't want

row1 col2 col3 col4

row2 col2 col3 col4
extra text
row3 col2 col3 col4

row4 col2 col3 col4

Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter,

If you set your Detail Band's PrintHeight to phDynamic, you can get the
following effect simply by toggling the visibility of a text component at
the bottom of the band. For instance, place your extra text inside your
detail band (at the bottom) and set its Visibility to False. Then, inside
the DetailBand.BeforePrint event toggle the visibility based on a certain
condition. Example...

procedure TForm1.ppDetailBand1BeforePrint(Sender: TObject);
begin
if ppReport1.DataPipeline['CustNo'] = 1513 then
ppDBText2.Visible := True
else
ppDBText2.Visible := False;
end;
