Labels with staggered rows

Post by Jennypi »

Hello,

I had already looked for such a property, but could not find it, that's why I posted here :)
I have:
can grow
can shrink
can break
enabled
start new page
start new page if less than
print at bottom
print if empty
print on even odd pages

Is it a version problem?

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry I don't know what/where the property grid is.
I only have the property panel on the right, displaying only the properties I wrote in my previous post.

Could you please make a screen capture?

Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, we meant the Property Panel.

If you use version 2010.3 then, maybe the problem is in this:

"Configurations on the properties panel
When you first run the designer, it is hard for to understand all the properties of the components in the properties panel. To simplify this task, we added the configuration options in the properties panel. There are three configurations: basic, standard, and professional. Depending on the configuration the amount of visible properties of components is changed. In the Basic configuration only simple properties are visible. In the Standard configuration almost all the properties except the most complex or rarely used are displayed. In Professional configuration a complete set of properties is shown. Selecting the type of configuration occurs when you first run the report designer, or from the context menu of the properties panel."

Please check which configuration (basic, standard, or professional) is used.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.
I am using version 2007.1 and I don't have such a configuration in the context menu of the property panel.

Hello,

Ok now I understand! The the "PrintOnAllPages" property was added earlier.
Please check the latest version of the product.

Thank you.

:(
Is there any other solution for my problem? Can I use another component that would be printed only if column==2 and on all pages?

Thank you.

Edit : what I don't understand, if that for a more basic version of the same report, with only 1 databand, the ColumnHeaderBand IS printed on all pages. What is the difference? Is it because there is only 1 databand?

Hello,

You can use Header component. Please see the sample report in attachment.

Thank you.

Hi

I have now the 2010 version of Stimulsoft Reports.
I have tried 2 solutions for my problem:
- set "PrintOnAllPages" property of the ColumnHeaderBand component to true
- use Header component, as you proposed in your last post.

In both cases, the header is not displayed on the sheet where the source databand changes.
Page 1 -> DataBand1 -> header OK, displayed on column 2
Page 2 -> DataBand1 -> header OK, displayed on column 2
Page 3 -> end of DataBand1 + beginning of DataBand2 -> header OK, displayed on column 2
Page 4 -> DataBand2 -> header NOT displayed on column 2
Page 5 -> DataBand2 -> header NOT displayed on column 2

Where is the problem?
The only solution that I have found so far is to create another report "Page" for DataBand2. The consequence is that many blank labels are wasted.
Thank you for your help.
