Funny Stretching

rbuser

I have a report with one group and I want to
put a box around each record. Each record has
a couple of fields and two regions each holding
a memo field and a label. There is a horizontal
line above the header and one at the bottom of
the detail band. There are two "connnecting"
vertical lines with parent height true and
stretch with parent true. If there is no
stretching in the regions. The vertical lines
do not touch the bottom line. If there is
stretching, they do. I am using D7 with 7.02.
I don't remember having this problem before
but ... How can I fix this? Thanks

They should meet if the vertical and bottom lines are in the detail band.
ParentHeight is only for design time manipulation. You will want to set
StretchWithParent to true. If that doesn't help, then send an example to
support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll take a look at why it isn't working.

I just sent the example. Look forward
to your response. Thanks.

Answered via email.

To place a box around each record, a TppShape is most useful with its
StretchWithParent property set to true.

An alternative if you want to place a box around a group of records, then
here is an example of a more advanced feature of RB:
