How can I calculate free space till the end of the page?

Hello!
Is it possible to find the size of free space before the end of the page in a report? That is necessary to avoid long summaries appear on page without data. What I wish to do is calculate the free space, check the space needed for the data row and make a decision whether to print this data row on this particular page or start a new page to make sure that some data is present on the page before the summary.
Thank you!

In the current version of the report engine it is impossible to do.

This can be done in the new version of the engine. If you want, please send a request to support[at]stimulsoft.com and we'll send you this new version.

Thank you.

Hello, Edward,
This problem is not critical, so I think I can wait till the new engine will be publicly released.
Thank you!
