BeforePrint event in a subreport

rbuser

I have a report with some RAP code in the BeforePrint event. Sometimes this
report is printed as a dynamically loaded subreport "inside" another "main"
report. In this case I get the message
"Unable to load BeforePrint code for report. BeforePrint is not a valid
event for a ChildReport"
when the report loads.
I understand the logic of the message and I have solved my problem by
putting the code of the BeforePrint event in the HeaderBeforePrint event (I
assume I can put it in the title BeforePrint event as well) . However this
solution might not always be feasible. Is there a workaround ?
Should we avoid putting RAP code in report events when the report is used as
a subreport?
Thanks

Hi Yannis,

Try using the SubReport.OnPrint event. In my testing, it looks as though
this event fires before both the HeaderBand.BeforePrint and
Subreport.Report.StartPage.

Thank you Nico.

The OnPrint event exists only in SubReports , I think. So if we want a
report to function both by itself and as a dynamically loaded subreport (ie
one that is created as a separate report) then it seems we cannot use this
solution.

Hi Yannis,

In this case, you might try using the Report.OnStartPage event. This event
fires before the Headerband.OnBeforePrint as well.
