Minimum vertical space between three TppRichTexts

rbuser

Well, I'm not very experienced with Report Builder. So please give me some
advice how to get a certain vertical space between three TppRichTexts.

The Report is designed this way:

[ppRichText1]

[ppRichText2]

[ppRichText3]

The property "Stretch" of all ist set to "True".
"ShiftRelativeTo" of ppRichText2 is "ppRichText1" and
"ShiftRelativeTo" of ppRichText3 is "ppRichText2".

But on runtime all TppRichTexts are printed without any space this way:

[ppRichText1]
[ppRichText2]
[ppRichText3]

Sorry, if this was a FAQ. I didn't find any answer.

Regards,
Eric

Eric,

does it help if you specify a BottomOffset for ppRichtext1 ansd ppRichText2?

Hi Robert,



Thanks for your reply.







But this won't work because the position of ppRichText2 depends on how much
ppRichText1 has to stretch. Remember: All TppRichTexts are set "Streched :=
True".



Any other suggestion?

Eric,



Did you try to set the BottomOffset and didn't it work or are you just guessing
that it will not work?

If ppRichText1.Stretch is set to true, it will take as much vertical space as is
needed to print the text. Then the BootomOffset ist applied and if
ppRichText2.ShiftRelative = ppRichText1, then ppRichText2 will start printing at
ppRichText1.Top+ppRichText1.Height+ppRichText1.BootomOffset


Another possible solution ist to add a couple of empty lines to ppRichText1 and
ppRichText2.

But I am sure that the setting BotomOffset will do the trick.

Hi Robert,


Yes, you are very right! Sorry, I completely missunderstood the meaning of
"BottomOffset". A simple look into the online help would have been enough.
As I formerly told and as you now can see: I'm not very experienced.

So please apologize for my incompetence and thanks a lot!
