Question on conditinal visibility

rbuser

I need a little help here with some code.
I have an a listing with repeated values.
For example
Item No Desc Status Whse QOH
A Item A X 01 100
A Item A X 02 150
B Item B X 01 743


For fields lets say the following
item_no = DBText1
Desc=DBText2
Status=DBText3
Whse=DBText4
QOH=DBText5

Now I want to surpress repeated values for several fields, but only for
change in Item No.
So first I used the element property for the Item No field and did a
surpress repeated values. Of course if I do this for say the Status field,
when it gets to Item B it will Surpress the X there also.

So far I went to the Calc tab. Details band and selected BeforePrint.

I tried using DBText4.Visible := (ReportDataPipeline['Item_no']<>'');

Since the item_no field does have a value this didn't work.

So how do I reference if the field is visible on the report?

I am using RE 10.07
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,

Two options.

1. Keep track of the repeated value yourself and be sure that once it
changes, the other field will print.

2. The OnDrawCommandCreate event will only fire for the initial repeated
value. You could possibly set a flag in this routine telling any other
components to print their value as well.
