NewPage from detail band

rbuser

?I need to be able to issue a form feed (NewPage) from the detail band
BeforePrint or BeforeGenerate handler. I'm using ReportBuilder
professional for Delphi 7 professional.

More specifically, based on the contents of the record contents in the
result set for the report, I need to conditionally generate a NewPage.


thanks,

Hi Bill,

1. ReportBuilder 9.03 natively includes a PageBreak component that when
placed on a report will cause the page to break where ever you need.

2. Take a look at the following article on causing a page break without the
use of the PageBreak component.

---------------------------------------------
Article: Forcing a Page Break
---------------------------------------------

Question:

How can I force a page break occur based upon
a condition calculated at run-time.

Solution:

Define a Group that starts on a new page when
it breaks. Then use the Group.OnGetBreakValue
event to control the timing of the break.

1. From the Report Designer, select Report | Groups
to access the Group dialog.

2. Define a group based upon a static component,
such as a Label or Variable. Click the
Start new page checkbox. Close the dialog.

3. Using the object inspector's drop down list,
find and select the TppGroup object.

4. Create an event-handler for the Group's
OnGetBreakValue event.

5. Add code to set the break value.


procedure Form1.Group1OnGetBreakValue(Sender: TObject; var aBreakValue:
String);
begin

if condition then
aBreakValue := 'Some Value';

end;
