Stretching and flickering problem

rbuser

Hello,

i've got two more problems with my report.

1. My report generates an output like this:

+----------+----------+------------------------------+ \
| bla | bla | 1. bla | \
| | bla |- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + + this is a
| | bla | 2. bla | / subreport
| | bla |- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + /
| | bla | |
| | bla | |
| | bla | |
+----------+----------+------------------------------+

I rather like to have an output like this:

+----------+----------+------------------------------+
| bla | bla | 1. bla |
| | bla | |
| | bla | |
| | bla |- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +
| | bla | 2. bla |
| | bla | |
| | bla | |
+----------+----------+------------------------------+

I can see no chance to stretch the subreport on the right hand side
to the length of the content on the right hand side. In the other way,
when the right hand has more text than on the left, it works fine. Any
suggestions?

2. When setting PassSetting of the report to psTwoPass, the main form of
my application flickers while opening the preview form. Is there any way
to prevent this?

Thanks in advance.
Greetings,

1) There is no native way to position the subreports as you describe. You
can position the subreport yourself when the components are generating. You
would need to figure out in what order the reports generate and position the
second subreport after the longest memo and the first subreport have been
sized.

2) There are a number of reasons why the application could be flickering. If
the flickering is due to the report generation you could generate the report
offscreen and cache the pages. Then, when you display the report to the
screen the pages would just be retrieved from the cache.
