ShiftWithParent & ReprintOnOverflow

rbuser

Hi,

I have a subreport where the detail band contains the following component
types (in this order):
TppVariable,
TppDBText,
TppVariable,
TppDBMemo (Stretch = true),
TppVariable,
TppVariable

When I set all variables and the DBText component to ReprintOnOverflow, when
the report comes to a page break, the first 4 components behave as expected
if the memo stretches, but the last 2 variables print on both the previous
page and the next page. Is there a way I can fix this?

Thank you.

Hi Gary,

Try placing the two bottom variables inside a TppRegion and set the region
to ShiftRelativeTo the stretching memo. This should give you the effect you
are after.

Thank you for the quick response. The TppRegion seems to solve my problem
with regard to the variables shifting properly with the memo field. I'm now
trying to set the ShiftWithParent flag on one of the TppVariables at
runtime. What I would like to do is set this flag to true if a certain
condition is met. If I set it to true at design time, the variable will
appear even with the last line of the memo field, which is what I want to
achieve only when this condition is met. I've tried putting code into the
following TppVariable events:

OnCalc
OnPrint
OnDrawCommandCreate
OnFormat

None of this has worked. The variable I'm dealing with resides inside a
region which also contains the memo field. Here's the code I'm writing for
the events mentioned.

var
x:Integer;
begin
x := roaDetailPipeline.GetFieldValue('TRANSTYPE');
if (x > 0) and (x < 3) then
ppVariable17.ShiftWithParent := true
else
ppVariable17.ShiftWithParent := false;
end;
