How To Control Page Contents in ppMemo

rbuser

Hello All:

I am using D5/RB 6.01.

I have a report that contains a ppMemo component.

I have been assigning the data as follows:

ppMemo1.Lines.Assign(Memo1.Lines);

However, I need to control where the page breaks occur. How can I take
the 1st 30 lines in the memo & have them print on page 1, next 25 lines on
page 2, and final 40 lines on page 3 ???

Do I need to place each page into a seperate record in a IN-Memory Table
???

Is there an easier way to accomplish this ???

Thank you.

Hi Neil,

Placing the appropriate memo lines inside an in-memory dataset would
definitely give you the greatest chances of success in creating a report
like this one. Otherwise you would have to calculate the individual line
height (based on the font) for each line in the memo, then define each
page's detail band height according to how many lines of the memo you would
like printed.

I think I was not very clear. I know which data goes on page 1 and I
know that it will fit on page 1, Page2, Page3, etc.

Knowing that, what RB code, events, etc. are necessary to cause the data
to print to the pages I designate ???


Thank you

Hi Neil,

If you have each set of lines separated out, it should be relatively easy to
simply load the text from your dataset into a memo object using the
DetailBand.BeforePrint event. Either that or you could connect your
inmemory dataset to a JITPipeline and load the memo text automatically using
a DBMemo object.
