Region inside region

rbuser

Hello,

Is there a way to put a region inside other region?

The purpose of that is to keep 2 regions and a SubReport (all inside the
detail band) together.

I'm trying to put all of them inside a region and set KeepTogether, but
the region seems doesn't accept regions inside.

Even not being this way, is there another way to keep the regions and
the subreport together?

Tks.

Mauro.

Hello,

IMO regions could not hold other regions. (This might be a good feature for
one of the next releases ;-) )
One solution is to use a subreport in a region as a "dummy" and give the
subreport the property "fixed" instead of child. Now it is a placeholder
inside a region. So you can use this subreport for your items and if you
want place a new region in the detail of that subreport.
I hope this helps to work around

Hello Chris,

The problem is that I don't know the height that the detail band will have.
There are 2 regions and one of them is visible True or False depending
of a specific condition, the other is ShiftRelativeTo the first. There
is also a SubReport, this is too shown or hiden according to a condition
and, when shown can have "n" records.

Thanks,

Mauro.

Hi Mauro,

Chris is correct, ReportBuilder does not support nested Regions. As a
work-around, try placing your two regions and subreport inside the detail
band of another child subreport.

Thank you Chris and Nico.

I'd not understood the first answer. I've put the SubReport and it works
fine.
