Bug changing unit in report designer

munich · Post by **munich** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 6:40 am

Hello,

here are the steps that show the problem:

- Open report designer (it shows new and empty report)
- Add an overlay band
- Add a sub report component to the overlay band
- In the upcoming dialog click “OK” (By this you link the new page ‘Sub_Report_1’ to the sub report component)
- Check the width of the page ‘Sub_Report_1’. It corresponds to the width of the sub report component.
- Now change the unit from e.g. centimeters to millimeters in the footer of the designer
- Check the width of the page ‘Sub_Report_1’. It is ten times to big in my example

It looks like the width of the page 'Sub_Report_1' is changed twice.

I have a similar problem in changing the unit via code in a report. How can I work around this?

Thanks for any help.

Hi

I tried to reproduce it, but I can not see the problem you described. A scale did actually changed, but sizes recalculated absolutely correctly.

And Subreports must always have the same units as the main subreport.

When you load subreports from file as external subreports you should set all units the same way for all reports which are parts of one report:

Code: Select all

StiReport mainReport = new StiReport();

mainReport.Load("myReport.mrt")

subreport.ReportUnit = report1.ReportUnit;

Please show your code which caused these problems.

Thank you.

Hi,

happened to me several times and it's easy to reproduce.

1) Open blank Designer
2) Add an empty sub report over the whole page
3) Change units in Page1 from centimeters to millimeters or vice versa - Now page width of the Subreport is broken.

Version: 2009.3.512.0

Hope it will help you.

Best Regards

Hi

I also tried this but it seems that this is a bug of refreshing of the SubReport, after swithching between Page and SubReport all units displayed correctly.

Thank you.

No, the conversion isn't correct. When saving the report to file and opening in an editor, the page width of the subreport has a value of 1920 millimeters - after changing from centimeters to millimeters. Maybe its a localization problem? I'm using German (Austria) region settings.

Regards.
