How to make a SubReport to get all width of page?

rbuser

Hi,

I have one report like these:

- GroupHeader
--> Sub-Report
-- Header
-- Detail
-- Footer
- GroupFooter

My problem is... in Detail, of Sub-Report I have only one record, but I
want the footer, goes down.. to fill all page.. how I do these?

regards

Hi Fellipe,

By design a child subreport will take as much space as it needs to print the
components inside. One option is to manually extend the vertical size of
the subreport by placing a static object inside one of the bands (such as a
shape). Another is to use a Fixed style subreport rather than a Child.
This allows you to size the actual Subreport object in the main report to
the size you would like.

Hi Fellipe,

No example needed. Simply create a new report, place a subreport inside the
detail band and set it to Fixed style. Then stretch the control to
approximately the size of the page.

Now the subreport will take the entire page regardless the content.

Hi Fellipe,

If you would like you can send a simple example in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at the issue.

Have you considered simply setting your group to start on a new page?
Setting the Group.NewPage property to True will break to a new page each
time the group breaks.

Another option would be to experiment with the PageBreak component below the
subreport (ShiftRelativeTo).
