Mimicking Green Bar

?I've got the Green Bar in place but I can't get it to be visible on
every third line.

The green bar feature only supports every other line. You can mimic
this behavior using a shape and toggling its visibility in the
Band.BeforePrint event.

procedure TForm1.ppDetailBand1BeforePrint(Sender: TObject);
begin
if ppDetailBand1.Count mod 3 = 0 then
ppShape1.Visible := True
else
ppShape1.Visible := False;
end;

We are using the Front End ( End User ) where the user creates his own
report where there is not any procedure TForm1. and there is not any
(Sender: Tobject);

This could also be done from RAP using the Enterprise edition of
ReportBuilder. Otherwise, this would have to be custom behavior that
you add manually.

Yes I guess I am calling the RAP as the End User side.

I figured it out. I put a dbCalc on the detail line and used the Count
property.

But there is something odd. I had to use:
GreenBar.Visible := dbCalc.Value Mod 3 = 2;
instead of:
GreenBar.Visible := dbCalc.Value Mod 3 = 0;
in order to get the desired effect.

It seems the dbCalc gets it's true value after the Detail Band Before
Print fires.
