Hi folks,
I think this is a common question, often asked and answered, but I can't
remember what the answer is.
I have a report whose detail band contains four field objects. The first,
third, and fourth objects can never contain more than one line of text.
That is, they never need to "expand with overflow". The second object may
contain between two and four lines of text, and it needs to expand with
overflow.
My problem is, when the report gets near the bottom of the page, I don't
want it to start a new row in the detail band if there isn't enough room
for the full rendered height of the second field object. On the other hand,
I don't want to hard-code the height of the object to the maximum.
I am generating the contents of the second field on the fly in the .frx,
and it has to be the second field in the row (it's a bunch of concatenated
mail address fields).
Forcing multiple CHR(13)s in the first field object based on the contents
of the second doesn't work.
I'm using the standard old-style report writer; no ReportListener, in VFP 9
SP 1.
How do I:
Render the field on the fly, use the old-style report writer, and make sure
that a new row doesn't start unless the rendered height of the second
object will fit completely on the page?
Thanks for any help.
