ppDetailBand, PrintHeigth and ColumnTraversal

rbuser

BlankHi,
if ColumnTraversal is set to ctTopToBottom then PrintHeigth can be static or
dynamic, but when it's set to ctLeftToRight then PrintHeigth is static and
can't be changed to dynamic. Ok, this is not a big broblem, but is there
some work around?

Thanks.

This is a limitation of the current design. Resize the static detail band
to fit the tallest component.

Ok, but my detail band has stretching memo and memo wan't stretch in static
detail band.

A stretchable component can't stretch in a static height band.

To get around this, place a fixed style subreport in the static height
detail band. Then set the subreport's AutoStop property to true. Don't
connect the subreport's datapipeline property. This will cause the
subreport to print once for every record in the main report's datapipelien.
Now, drop your stretching memo in the dynamic height detail band of the
subreport. Connect the dbMemo to the main report's datapipeline to get the
memo field value.
