Keep Together question

rbuser

Hi,

I've got a problem of splitting detail band between two pages. Detail band
has 3 ppRegion components placed vertically. For every Region KeepTogether
and Stretch properties setup to True. Each Region has ppDBRichText
components inside. Plus there are some vertical lines which belongs to band
not to regions. My question is: how to display/print this Detail band on the
same page.

I use D7, RB 9.03

Thank in advance,
Michael

Hi Michael,

ReportBuilder will try to fit as much as it can on a page before breaking to
the next. If the KeepTogether property of a stretchable component is set to
True when the report engine runs out of space on a page, the entire
component will move to the next page. If you are trying to fit all three
regions on a single page, you need to be sure they do not stretch to a size
larger than the page size.

Hi Nico,

Thanks. Any examples of getting/checking current Band position and
dynamically calculated height would be very useful.

Thanks again

Hi Michael,

You can use the Report.Engine.PrintPosRect property to get the current
position on the page during report generation.

The problem however with trying to calculate the height of a dynamic control
during generation is that once you have the height, it is too late to alter
the report (as it has already been generated). What exactly would you like
to see happen?
