Shifting a SubReport

rbuserrbuser
edited October 2005 in General
Hi,

I have a Report with 2 Subreports separated by a few other items (fields,
labels). I want to shift all the content after the first subreport. All of
the other items I can do it easily with a Region but i can?t get the other
subreport to shift correctly. I've tried placing the 2nd subreport inside
and outside the region, but with no success. Is there any way to shift the
2nd subreport? I have RB 6.02

Thanks in advance
Alexandre Peixoto

    If I understand you right, you have a scenario like:

    Subreport1

    Some Labels

    Subreport 2


    If this is right, then put the "some labels" in a region and set the
    property of that region "ShiftRelativeTo..." to the Subreport1. Then set the
    same property but of Subreport2 to the new region.

    Then all three dynamic main items are then chained together.

    Best Regards

    Unfortunately I've tried that. I've also tried placing the 2nd subreport
    inside another region and shifting it relatively to the first region. In
    both cases the 2nd subreport is right next to the first subreport. This must
    be a bug, but I'm out of ideas for this...

    Hello Alexandre,

    when you say the subreport2 is right next, did you mean, that the elements
    between are overlayed by the content of the subreport, or did you mean, that
    the second subreports start driect after the last elements with no white
    space after the last elements?

    What happens is:

    1st Subreport
    2nd Subreport (directly after the last element of the 1st one)
    Labels

    Hello Alexandre,


    What could be happend is, that those labels are not inside the region. This
    happens sometimes. There is a datatree, if you insert this tree under the
    mainmen? (toolbar), you can see the quasi "Z" order of all elements. If the
    labels are not in the region, then the behavoir could be like you descriped.

    Another reason could be that one of the ShiftRelativTo propertys are broken.

    - SubReport2 must connect with ShiftRelativeTo to the Region object (which
    holds the labels)
    - The Region must connect with ShiftRelativTo to Subreport1

    If it is not going right with this tips, you can mail me the report at
    cn@eulanda.de . I will have a look on them. But the report should be simple
    and please not to use any passthrough or special data on the datatab.
