Suppressing Objects on 2nd Copy

Hi,

I'm working with RB 10.07 and need to figure out how to suppress the
printing of specific objects on the second copy of a report when printing
with collation turned off. The kicker is that this has to be done entirely
from within RAP as there are no provisions in my application to catch the
device OnStartPage event and count the number of page prints.

The basics of the situation is that there is paper in the tray with
alternating colors and the second copy (yellow) needs to print without
certain fields.

Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this entirely in RAP without
changing the application code?

    Hi Terry,

    When collation is set to False, ReportBuilder generates each page once and
    the device handles each copy iteration. This is the reason it is necessary
    to use the OnStartPage of the device to add or adjust a drawcommand at
    runtime for each copy with collation off. Since this event is not available
    from RAP, you will need to access it through a pass thru function in Delphi.

    If this is not possible, you will need to find a way to manually generate
    each separate copy inside the report. If your report is not very large, you
    might try using section subreports to represent each copy of a page and
    piece the report together that way.

    Nico,


    Not exactly the answer that I wanted to hear, but I do appreciate the
    response.

    Thanks again for the fast support.
