Regions within regions

rbuser

Using RB 6.03 at design time when I place one region within
another region I would expect the enclosed region to shift with
the enclosing region. i.e. moving the enclosing region leaves
the enclosed region 'unmoved'.

Not only that but if the enclosing region has Keeptogether set
to true I would expect his to apply to the child region, it
doesn't.

I have tried editing the dfm so that the region begin/end
encloses the enclosed region but it just gets deleted entirely.

Is this a bug or is there a property to set the parent of the
region? afaics the parent property is only for the owner in the
sense of what frees the resource i.e. the form itself).

Hi Pat,

you can't place a region inside a region in the current ReportBuilder
version.

Well I guess that's why I have the problem then.

Seems like a good candidate for an enhancement though - could you
consider this for the next build?

Hi Pat,


My 'next build' won't help you :-), cause I'm not from DM - I'm a
ReportBuilder user like you.

Thanks for the suggestion. You can place subreport inside of a region, but
not a region within a region.
