Endless loop of pages using inheritance of components

rbuser

Community,

My company has recently upgraded from version 7.06 to 10.09 of Report
Builder for use in Delphi 2006. I am having problems with our existing
reports in the new version. I use a base form that holds the pipeline
(TppJITPipeline) and the report (TppReport) because all of the reports use
them. In this case I have a report that uses a pipeline that is created on
the derived form and sets it on the inherited report. When the report runs
it goes through an endless loop of calculating pages. I have setup a test
that has a new report component on a base form and a new pipeline on a
derived form and I still get this behavior. Any assistance is appreciated.

Set the JitPipeline.RecordCount property to the number of records.

Nard,

Thanks for your assistance. Apparently some things have changed since
version 7. In my report I have 4 pipelines that create 4 reports and add
them as pages.

The previous behavior was that they would all go onto separate pages. The
current behavior is lumping all 4 report outputs onto one page. Are you
aware of any additional changes I can make to the report or the pipelines to
address this?

Thanks again,
-Steve

Nothing has changed in that regard. I think you forgot to set
Subreport.PrintBehavior to pbSection.

A subreport can have different PrintBehaviors: pbChild, pbSection, pbFixed.
The default value is pbChild.

pbChild - subreport prints on the parent reports page space - like a memo
pbSection - subreport prints its own pages
pbFixed - subreport prints within the defined bounds

This is all covered in RB Developers Guide (for RB 7 and RB 10).
