Show columns horizontally?

rbuser

Hi all

I have set Report.Columns := 3, the second column is only used once the
first column has reached the bottom of the page. I would like my 2nd and
3rd columns to be used before moving to the next row. Can I do this?

Hi Peter,

Try placing three Child Subreports side by side instead of using columns.
Then add the data to each subreport as you need. This way you will have
complete control over which data goes in each column.

Hi Nico

This is the only way? What happens when I need to change the number of
columns? Or I want to change the format of a column?

Could you just confirm that there is no other way to achieve this?

Hi Peter,

ReportBuilder 7 also supports LeftToRight column traversal and this may give
you the effect you are looking for. You can set the column traversal
direction in code by doing something like the following...

uses
ppTypes;

myReport.DetailBand.ColumnTraversal := ctLeftToRight;

rbuser

> myReport.DetailBand.ColumnTraversal := ctLeftToRight;


Ah, that is exactly what I wanted. Thanks very much!
