2018.1.2: DataBands inconsistent behaviour (Bug)

[Alex K.]

Hello,

In this case, you should set the following option:
StiOptions.Engine.PrintIfDetailEmptyNesting = true;

By default, the PrintIfEmpty property checks only first elements for each level and if one of them empty - all level will hide.
With this option, all levels will check.

Thank you.

Thanks Alex, that seems to be working. Seems like it should be default on. I can't think of a scenario where you would need it false by default.

Although it works now, any headers are still shown if the data band is empty. Why is it so? Header.PrintIfEmpty property is not working.

Header --> "Class" is shown (correct behaviour)

Hi Edward, was this fixed in the latest release? Can you give me a time frame on when this could be released?

Hi Vineet,

Sorry for the delay, the ticket to fix the problem is still with our dev team, and actually, the change requires some significant efforts to tweak the report engine, so it was not prioritized for this reason yet.
And also we are considering to set the option

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Engine.PrintIfDetailEmptyNesting = true;

to equal true by defalut.

I think we need at least couple of months to get this sorted. We will update this ticket once the problem is solved.

Thank you,
Edward

Hi Vineet,

Unfortunately, that issue has not been fixed yet. We will let you know in this topic, once it is fixed.

Thank you,
Edward
