Conditional Detail Lines

rbuser

Hi,

Since we've done report development in Crystal and are now looking to use
ReportBuilder, I'll describe this question using a Crystal method.

In some of our reports, we have a detail section consisting of multiple
lines. When all field values on a particular line are not to be shown, the
entire line would be blank. In Crystal, I have used DetailLineA,
DetailLineB, etc. So that when all fields are blank I could conditionally
suppress DetailLineB, and the detail section would contract, or shrink by
that one line.

How can I duplicate similar behavior in RB. I tried using a region within
the detail band, but when I set it's Visible property to False, the space
for the suppressed region remains as white space.

Thank you,
Mike

Hi,

I guess if I had looked sooner I would have discovered the
TppBand.PrintHeight property. Setting it to phDynamic seems to solve my
problem.

Yes, you are setting the correct property.
