Defining multiple group bands for a sme TppGroup ?

rbuser

Hi,

in my "Crystal Report to Report Builder Converter" tool, is there a way to
affect multiple group bands for a same given TppGroup ? I tried, but it
appears that it's impossible to do this. Crystal Report allows to split a
given band into several sub-bands (1a, 1b, etc.) If we can't do this in
Report Builder, it would be an interesting feature to implement and won't
need too much work, I think : just change the TppGroup.HeaderBand property
for a collection of TppBands. Anyway, ReportBuilder remains my #1 choice to
build reports in Delphi.

A Group has a GroupHeader and a GroupFooter.

You can add Regions and Subreports to model complex requirements.

Use a Region to define a simple panel that manages a set of Lables, DBTexts,
etc.

Use a Subreports to create complex sub-layouts that can contain a set of
bands that manage addition subreports, regions, and other elements.

The intent in the design of ReportBuilder was to provide a few simple
building blocks that can be used to model any type of layout. ReportBuilder
avoids overuse of bands because we felt that they crowd the workspace and
cause confusion.
