Hello,

Unfortunately, for Subreports, it is not possible, because the Sub-Report component is rendered on a page with unlimited height.

Thank you.

This is really bad information... our customers have very complex invoices with a lot of subreports and if listing of invoice items has no header on next page, it is absolutely unthinkable.... see example. In our old reporting system (based on Sybase DataWindow Reports) was this functionality so it will be really unpleasant problem in relation to our customers.

Please, do analysis and implement this functionality.

Hello,

Unfortunately, these are peculiarities of our report engine, when rendering sub-reports. At this moment the only solution is do not use sub-reports but make them our of the main page.

Thank you.

Hello,
Your answer is not helpful and I would like to hear what is your plan in case of this issue. I found in history a lot of the same questions as I have, so I am really suprised, that you have done nothing to solve this issue. I am not alone who thinks, that this is maybe fatal disadvantage of this reporting tool. On the other hand, your product is powerful and maybe the best on the world market. We done analysis of our requirements, we had discussion with Microsoft representatives and even they agreed that Stimulsoft is the best choice in case of implementation using WPF... But nobody expected problems with basic functionality.
So what to do? Our team of programmers do not understand what is the problem to implement this functionality - why rendering of subreport don't know something about parent page and its size? .... is rendering recursively, isn't it?
Or... is any way how we can help you with solving this issue? We don't have codes of reporting engine, but if we obtain codes, we are able to do some analysis and suggest solution. Maybe you don't have capacity to do it, but we are ready to help you, to find some solution.
Thank you and I hope you will suggest some better solution

Hello,

We corrected this behavior with sub-reports. We plan to include the fix into our prerelease build in a week or two.

Thank you.
