Suppress last Group-Footer

rbuser

hello.

i have the following report: address list with 2 groups: city and
street. i want to print a line when the city changes (outer group
footer) and a thiner line when the street changes (inner group footer).
the problem is, that when the city changes, i get 2 lines (both footers
are printed). is there an easy way to suppress the last inner group footer?

regards

volkmar

Hi Volkmar,

Try using the BeforeGroupBreak event of the outer group to check to see if
the inner group already printed its group footer, then toggle the visibility
of the line in the outer group accordingly.

hi nico.

that doesn't solve my problem. i have to set the inner group footer to
invisible. actually the report looks like this:

new york 1st street
new york 1st street
---------- ( inner footer)
new york 2st street
---------- ( inner footer <- should not be printed)
-------------------- ( outer footer)
boston 1st street
---------- ( inner footer <- should not be printed)
-------------------- ( outer footer)

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no way to find the last group break in a report. The
Report engine is designed to keep breaking until the data runs out in your
dataset. It has no sense of the first or last group. A couple of things
you might try are creating a two pass report and depending on if the last
group breaks in the last page or not, toggle the visibility of the line
there, or somehow calculate where the final group should break in your
report.
