Row caption for a Left to Right traversal

rbuser

Hi.

I have set up a report with the use of 15 columns and Left to Right
traversal.
At the left (only one - not one for each column) side I would like to place
a Caption/Text that explains (Group text) what the "record" consists of.
At the moment there is not space for this, and if I change the width of the
column, this changes all columns.
Is this possible?

Hi Petter,

Take a look at the following article/example on how to create header and
footer columns for a report with detail columns. It is a bit of a stretch
but it will give you the effect you are after if done correctly.

Hi Nico.

I need to set the ColumnTraversal for the detail band to ctLeftToRight.
When I do this, things does not work.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Petter

Hi Petter,

Sorry, I was not aware the example did not function with Left-To-Right
columns.

The simplest option in this case would be to manually add text drawcommands
to the left of the page lined up with each row. Drawcommands are positioned
by their actual location on the page so some calculation will need to be
done. See the following article on how this might be done.

Is there a way to do this in RAP?

Hi David,

Yes, I first suggest getting this working in Delphi, then moving the code to
RAP. It may require a passthru function.

Well, part of the idea was that I would not have to send the customer a
program update in order to make this work. A pass thru function would
require a program update.

Petter, were you able to get the row labels to print? How did you do
it?
