creating subreport in code

rbuser

I am creating a subreport in code, using the example from the wiki.
However, I need srGenSumm to contain in its detail band srGenSummDtls.
My difficulty is in finding the proper assignment for:

srGenSumm := TppSubReport.Create(Self);
srGenSumm.Band := repMain.DetailBand;
srGenSumm.CreateReport(repMain);
repGenSumm := TppChildReport(srGenSumm.Report);
repGenSumm.DataPipeline := plGenSumm;

srGenSummDtls := TppSubReport.Create(Self);
srGenSummDtls.Band := ???
srGenSummDtls.CreateReport(repMain);
repGenSummDtls := TppChildReport(srGenSummDtls.Report);
srGenSummDtls.DataPipeline := plGenSummDtls;


Thanks,

Hi Bill,

1. You need to call TppChildReport.CreateDefaultBands in order to properly
create and access its detail band. This is in the rbWiki article code.

2. Once you've created the default bands, you can use the
TppChildReport.DetailBand property as the child component's Band property.
This is also in the rbWiki article code (only with a DBText rather than a
Subreport).
