Get the pagenumber where a subreport is printed

rbuser

Hi.

I have a question and I hope you have a simple answer for me ;-)

I have one report with header, detail and footer.

On the detailband there are many (I think 20 or more) subreports.
On the footer band are 3 regions.

The 3 regions should get printed on every page.

To this point theres no problem.

But now I need to print another content in the footer of that page
where one Subreport is.

For example: I need on every pagefooter the content X, only on that
page where ppsubreport15 is printed, there I need the print not content
X, I need content Y.

Its very difficult to explain.

Best regards
Michael

Hi Michael,

You could place two subreports (containing the different versions of the
footer information) inside the footer band, then inside the specific
subreport's OnPrint event, toggle the visibility of the two accordingly.
Be sure the toggle back once it is finished.

Hi Nico.

Thanks for your answer.

It seems it doesn't work. My report is very complex.

At the moment my report has 4 pages.

On page 1,2 and 4 should get printed "X".
On page 3 is my "SubreportY" and on this page the footer should print
"Y".

If I now scroll over the pages it doesnt switch the content.

Is there perhaps a function which I can use, so that I can write at the
onPrint-Event of the footer:

if IsOnMyPage(SubreportY) then begin
Show Content Y
else
Show Content X

Hi Michael,

What type of subreports are you using? Child, Section, Fixed?

Subreports are dynamic in that they can span across pages. There is no
way to know when a subreport is going to start after another has
finished and to be sure it is on a new page.

If you are certain that Subreport Y will always print on page 4, you can
us the OnStartPage event of the main report to toggle the content in the
footer.

Also, try tracing any events you are implementing to give you a better
idea what is happening and why.

Hi Nico.

All Subreports are "Child".

The Subreport which is important for that has also "KeepTogether" =
True.
So I am sure it is only on one page.

So I think I must make "try and error".

Hi Michael,

The main idea is to toggle the visibility of the content in the footer
band before it is generated. You could use SubreportY or perhaps event
an event of a component inside that subreport to do so.

If you would like to send a simple example to how your report is
currently behaving that I could run on my machine, I would be happy to
look at it for you. Send any examples in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com.
