  • Hi Robbert,

    In the past, 8-bit GIF images were used for shapes to conserve space however
    with a gradient fill I can see how a higher quality image is required. I
    created a patch that exports gradient shapes as JPEG's rather t…
  • Hi Temoc,

    There is now a patch available for RB 14.08 that solves this issue.
    Send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com to receive the patch.

  • Marc,

    You should be able to do this using two subreports positioned side by side.
    Set the ParentWidth of the subreports to false, so you can postition them
    next to each other.

  • Gerardo,

    In the group dialog, try turning the Reprint Header on Subsequent Pages
    property on. Don't attempt to move a group header band from one report to
    another at runtime. This should fix your problem.

  • Dave,

    I'm glad you got everything working ok.

    SubReports are not a new feature. They have been included with
    ReportBuilder for many years. They are very flexable and allow you to
    create many reports that would other…
  • Dave,

    1. The reason I used the Detail band was that you are always guaranteed a
    Detail band in any report or subreport. You could use the title or summary
    bands.

    2. A child type subreport will not show up in the fo…
  • Dave,

    Below is a link to a small demo giving an example of what you are trying to
    do. Be sure that the template you are loading into the subreport has its
    AutoStop property set to true and that you load the template before repo…
  • Tom,

    Once you set the ShiftRelativeTo property to True, all print position
    settings are overridden. Therefore it is not possible to have a fixed
    starting point for a subreport when the ShiftRelativeTo property is True.
    You…
  • Hi Karen,

    The definition of the Title band is that it prints once at the beginning of
    a report. It is always necessary to use a header or group header if you
    need information to show up at the top of subsequent pages in a repor…
  • Karen,

    Try creating a group on a static label and using the group header instead of
    the Title. Be sure to set the Group.ReprintOnSubsequentPage property to
    True.

  • Hi Sujas,

    As a test, try commenting out your event handler code and see if that fixes
    the issue. If it does, periodically begin adding the code back to isolate
    the problem. If you still experience the problem, please send a si…
  • Hello,

  • Hi Mikkel,

    For future reference, we ask that you do not post attachments to the
    newsgroups. If you need to send an attachment, please e-mail your quesiton
    to support@digital-metaphors.com.

    If possible, please send an…
  • Hi Tim,

    When loading a template to your report, you need to be sure all components
    have a unique name. If there is a name conflict such as "Region4" may be,
    the RB streaming object will automatically rename the component to ano…
  • Hi Patrick,

    psOnePass and psTwoPass are enumerated types located in the ppTypes.pas
    file. Add ppTypes to your "uses" clause and the issue should be resolved.

  • Hi Erik,

    Try creating a group around a static label in your report with "Reprint
    Header on subsequent pages" turned off. Placing the subreport inside the
    group header should work fine for your needs. You can disable the Title …
  • Hi Heiko,

    You're best be would be to create a completely new report with two
    subreports inside its Detail band set to shift relative to each other. Then
    either dynamically or manually load the templates of your existing reports…
  • Hi Willem,

    Make sure that the Subreport.KeepTogether property is set to false. As a
    test, try simplifying the report by removeing everything but the subreport
    in question (including event handlers). Then see if you still canno…
  • Hi Steve,

    Try using Section style subreports with the ResetPageNo property set to True
    and see if this is the result you are looking for. Remember that Section
    style subreports do not behave the same way Child style subreports …
  • Hi Nicola,

    Try creating a Region and see if that works better for you. Place the Name
    and Surname inside the Region. Set Region.ReprintOnOverFlow to True. Then
    create the subreport below the region. Put the Region and Subreport …
  • Hi Nicola,

    Are the name and surname fields in the report header, group header, or the
    header of the subreport? Which type of subreport are you using (ie. Child,
    Fixed, Section)?

    --
  • Hi Nicola,

    One more thing I forgot... You may also want to try using the
    Subreport.TraverseAllData property. This will cause the subreport to
    continue printing (on additional pages in the same exact position) until all
    dat…
  • Hi Nicola,

    Are you using a Fixed style subreport or does it just need to fit in a fixed
    area? If you are using a Child style subreport, try setting the
    KeepTogether property to True. If you are using a Fixed Style subreport,
  • Hi Terry,

    You may be able to use the TppDetailBand.OutOfSpace boolean property to get
    the results you are after.

  • Hi Anna,

    The code below seems to be correct if applied in the correct way. Please
    take a look at the AutoSearch Demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5.
    AutoSearch\... directory for a few examples that should get you on the righ…
  • Hi Claes,

    In order to keep your subreports from processing, you will need to
    (temporarily) disconnect them from the datapipeline they are connected to.
    You can access the datapipeline of a Subreport by using the
    TppSubrepor…
  • Hi Srikumar,

    You need to change the NoDataBehaviors property of your subreports to have
    ndBlankReport set to True. This should automatically set ndBlankPage to
    False.

  • Hi Harry,

    Sorry, the crosstab component measures the row height and width based on the
    font size of the largest caption. There is no way to alter this size other
    than creating a new crosstab renderer.

  • Hi Adam,

    The prining of black boxes instead of images is usually due to how the
    printer driver is reading certain images from your report. Here are some
    things to try...

    1. Set ppImage.DirectDraw to True.

  • Hi David,

    Try setting the KeepTogether property of the subreport to True and see if
    that gives you the result you are after.
