How to get this layout
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 6:20 am
Hi,
I have a template for a report.
in the first border there is a customer with a few properties, in the second border there could be a partner of the customer. In the third border there are all the children. Than there will be more borders with details in it.
The datasource is a xml file with persons for customer, partner or children and a list of the further properties.
I've tried to solve this with panels and in these panels there are shapes with rounded rectangles. In the panel there is a databand that defines the person an in this databand there are many textfields for the data. for the customer and his partner it works, but not for the children. Because not ever child should have his own border. All of them should be in the same. Am I right with the panels for this solution or is there a better way to do it?
Another problem: Is it possible to set a margin between 2 panels?
thank you!
