Why not a PageBreak command, more than hundred requests!

rbuser

Hello,

Searching for a pagebreak method, I foun hundreds of question to
Digital-Metaphors for a method to force a pagebreak.
The only anwer is: use groups or section style subreports, but that's not
most of us wants. We don't want to by RbAddOn because we think it's not that
difficult to implement a pagebreak method (or is it?).

I really don't know why you guys dont give us a pagebreak method. Can
someone explain this.

Eric,

Thank you for your suggestion.

In addition to using RBAddon's PageBreak, SubReports, and Groups to force
pagebreaks, you can also try calling DetailBand.OutOfSpace.

Hello Nico,

I tried using OutOfSpace and it seems to work fine.
The help files do not mention this property.
I did look in the rb source files and see you setting OutOfSpace for example
when the property "NewPage" is set.
Is it that easy to implement a PageBreak method which only thing to do is
setting OutOfSpace to true?

Eric

ps thanks for the tip, perhaps it's somethings for tech-tips newsgroup

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the suggestion. Using the OutOfSpace property is fine as long as
you are careful with TwoPass reports. Be sure that you are not breaking a
page in one pass and not the other.
