How to ....

rbuser

I'm looking for an example for create a report at runtime using the "Page
Style" band.

I need to draw some text/shapes/images in the report and I NEED TO CONTROL
WHEN TO CREATE A NEW PAGE

So the logic is:

1 start report.

2 create a page.
3 draw some text, images, shapes, etc ...

4 repeat point 2 and 3

5 end of report

6 print or preview the report

thanks

You may want to create multiple section style (Subreport.PrintBehavior)
subreports inside of a main report. Create a different pagestyle band in
each one. Create one for every page that you want ot print. The section
style subreports in a single band, will print in the order that they are
created.

What do you mean by control the creation of a new page? Are you trying to
write a pseudo-report engine, which generates TppPage objects for an output
device's page request?

Create a main report. Use only the main report's detail band, which has
three section style subreports in it. Use the pagestyle band in each
subreport. Resize the pagestyle bands to be the height of the page. You can
then dynamically add components to the band when each one prints.
