variable component in footer band not showing

rbuser

Hi,

I am creating a report entirely in code. I have a variable created as so
below:


variableFooter := TppVariable.Create(self);
variableFooter.Band := FreportTemp.FooterBand;
variableFooter.AutoSize := False;
variableFooter.CalcType := veTraversal;
variableFooter.DataType := dtString;
variableFooter.Height := 0.5;
variableFooter.spLeft := 2;
variableFooter.ResetType := veReportEnd;
variableFooter.spTop := 2;
variableFooter.Width := 10;
variableFooter.WordWrap := True;
variableFooter.Caption := CBIAFooter(text);


CBIAFooter is a function that I created to have text put in the variable.


I run the program and when I step through it, in the caption property the
text shows, but it does not show on screen. What am I missing.

I have set the footerband.height to 1.00. I am using Delphi 5 and
ReportBuilder 6.02.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jada Case

Try setting the Value property of the variable, instead of the Caption.
