New Page when Group Changes

rbuser

Hi All,

Is there a way to access subreport components in Main Report ?
All I'm trying to achieve is to print my data on new page when Group Changes
based on user input. It's an option that user can select whether the group
has to be printed on new page or not. I have all grouping done on
SubReports. I was able to achieve the same requirement if the grouping is on
Main Report by using AfterOpenDataPipelines. I'm unable to use that on
SubReports as it doesn't have something like that. Using Report Builder
Enterprise Edition v10.03

Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,

Hi Santhosh,


I'm unsure what you mean by this. Are you using RAP to access your
subreport properties?

You can use the Group.NewPage property to force the group to start a new
page when it changes.

Nico,
Yes, I'm using RAP. I was talking about setting Sub Report Group Properties
in the Main Report.
like if I have a group2 in SubReport, I wanted to do Group2.NewPage in the
Main Report in the AfterOpenDataPipelines to start new page on each group.
Is there any event in the SubReport which is similar to
AfterOpenDataPipelines where I can set Group2.NewPage property ?

Hope I made it clear. Thanks for the prompt reply.

Hi Santhosh,

You could access the groups property of the child report from the main
report. Something like the following...

procedure ReportAfterOpenDataPipelines;
begin
SubReport1.Report.Groups[0].NewPage := True;
end;

Thanks Nico. I'll try that.

It works good, but it leaves the first page empty and then starts printing
as it supposed to from second page.

Hi Santhosh,

This most likely has something to do with the design of your report. In my
testing with a simple design (Report with Subreport and group), this worked
as expected. Try simplifying your design and see if you can find the
problem.

Where is the subreport located? Could the information on the main report be
moving the first subreport to a new page?

SubReport is located in the Summary section. I use the same pipeline for the
Main Report and SubReports. There is nothing in the Detail section of the
Main report. All the Main Report does is print the header.

HI Santhosh,

Why does the subreport need to be in the summary band? Try moving it to the
detail.

I simplified my report. It works good now.

Thanks Nico.
