Table?
I read all the documentation and searched the newsgroup but can't find an
easy solution for the following:
I need to create about 4 table with strings in them. The Columns have fixed
widths but variable heights (like a memo with stretch). So the table lines
should move accordingly. There seems to be no way to do this in RB 6.03
(easy)? The only way is draw it all by hand and position it by code at
creation? This would take far too much time for a trivial table. Am I
missing something, don't other users need to create tables like this (with
lines like a grid)?
I checked crosstab but that doesn't seem to be able to do multi-line rows?
Any advice,
Stijn Verrept.

I've built a Grid Pack for ReportBuilder, it may be what you need, but you
have to wait since I'm building a website for it. Here is what its features:
Grid Pack for ReportBuilder is a set of components from William Yu designed
to work with ReportBuilder, the report tool from Digital Metaphors, to
enhance its functionality and make your report looks more powerful and more
professional. Grids only save all necessary information into the report
file, and keeps the report file size as small as it can, so the speed of
loading report is very faster. The pack includes 3 components: TrbTableGrid,
TrbDBTableGrid and TrbCheckBox.
TrbTableGrid is a supper table grid make the developers more easily to
design grid-like report. Features include:
- Cells can be merged and split.
- Design time selectable cells, resizable columns and rows.
- Cells can have multi-line captions with aligment (left, center, right)
and layout (top, middle, bottom) attributes
as well as left, top, right and bottom margins.
- You can specify a display format for each cell.
- Cells can have background color, font Style, font Size, font Color
attributes.
- You can specify line color (which can be print under the non-color
printer properly) and one of the pre-defined 11
line styles for each side of cell borders and double it as well. The
value of the pre-defined 11 line styles
are as following:
No line,
1/8 line,
1/4 line,
1/2 line,
3/4 line,
1 Pt line,
1 1/2 pt line,
2 1/4 pt line,
3 pt line,
4 1/2 pt line,
6 pt line.
- Cells can have left, top, right, bottom spaces.
- Selected columns or rows can be deleted, and you can insert specific
rows at below or above of the selected rows,
insert specific columns into left or right side of the selected
columns. also support rows and columns append.
