Moving objects on titlepage down when pageheight changes

rbuser

Hi,

I have some components on the title page, that i always want to appear a
certain distance from the bottom of the page. So when i change the size from
A4 to A3 they have to move down
I tried placing those objects in a region whose parentheight is true, anchoring
the objects to the bottom of the region, but that doesnt seem to work.

How can i get this to work?

greetings

Hi Bas,

You need to anchor the objects (or the region containing the objects) to the
bottom of the page as well. This way when the size of the page changes, the
objects will remain the same distance from the bottom.

Hello Nico,

That sounds a very reasonable suggestion .. if only i could find where i
can anchor a component to a page
If I anchor the region to atBottom (meaning it will move with tghe bottom
of the title-band) nothing happens because whether i set te title band to
dynamic or static.

What am i doing wrong?

Hi Bas,

Sorry, I did not know you were using the Title band. You are correct in
that you can only anchor items to the bottom of a band or region. In the
case of the title band, you will need to size the band the same size as the
page in order to get the effect you are after.

Alternatively, the footer band always prints at the bottom of the page
regardless the page size so anchoring an item to the bottom of that band
will ensure the correct behavior.

Hello Nico,

I was afraid i had to solve it that way :-)

The problem with your alternative suggestion is that you can only define
one footerband, and in my case i only want those
controls on the titlepage and not on every one.

Hi Bas,

If you must use the Title band, you will need to create a report object loop
and manually reposition each component inside the title band based on the
size of the page. It should be possible to do this with a single routine
call before the report is printed.
