Summary at bottom of page

rbuser

Hi,

I want to print a summary at the bottom of the page.Since I'm still
using RB10.08 (and BDS2006), I used the method as described in the
SummaryAlignBottom example. This works fine, with one exception. I have
a subreport in the summary band, and this is printed too low on the
page. I've put the DrawCommandList.Add(aDrawCommand) for the fields on
my subreport.

Any idea how to solve this

Kind regards

Arno

Hi Arno,

ReportBuilder 11 now includes a built-in feature that will automatically
align the summary band to the bottom of the page.

Be sure you are compensating for the position and size of the subreport when
moving it's drawcommands from their current position to the bottom of the
page.

Hi Nico,

I know about that feature in RB11, but due to the financial situation,
an upgrade will have to wait till 2nd quarter next year.

Could you elaborate a bit about the compensating for position and size,
maybe a small code example

Kind regards

Arno

Hi Arno,

In my testing with the AlignSummaryToBottom example, a subreport was
successfully moved to the bottom of the page without overflowing or being
cut off. If possible, please send be a copy of the example altered to show
the behavior you mention to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a
look at it for you.

Hi Arno,

Thanks for the example.

If you run the example and remove all the align summary logic, the summary
band still looks incorrect near the top of the page. In order to have the
components below the subreport shift downward as the subreport grows you
need to place them into a region and set the region to ShiftRelativeTo the
subreport. You can set the Pen style of the region to psClear if you would
not like to see its boundaries.
