How to works with a lot components?

Hi.

I'm a beginner to use Stimul because my employer has began to use. This strange question has a reason.

Our standard report has two types of headers and each of this has the client's logo and goon and client's footer use, sometimes, another image. A sufficient space are gone.

They are many components and into a A4 format there's no sufficient space to handle them. Portait and Landspace

Now. I must create a report and I need to use in A3 format to handle the necessary components. ie. 1 HeaderBand, 5 GroupHeadersBands, 5 FooterHeadersBands (to totals) and 1 Databand.

I cannot handle these components in A4 format, the necessary space do not expand like Crystal Reports while I use more and more components.

There no one instructions about that

In the past, the employer was abort a construction of a not too much complex report and some functions like Next(object, object) didn't works

I'd like some advices/instructions to use correctly this.

Hi,

do you mean you haven't enought space to design the A4 report? In this case, just set the page LargeHeight property to true. The designer size will expand but it is still A4.

Ps: We have reports with 30+ containers and it works like a charm.

Yes. but I found the "unlimited height" property (true), stimul.net, but didn't works. My report is to be printed in Letter, instead A4 format. The bands began to be over others bands

Hello.

It's no matter what format did you set.
You should set the Large Height property to true and then set the page size and orientation that you need.

Thank you.

... but its true that I need to set this property to true in design-time and before want to print, set this property to false?

My report print some components at wrong position and over others.

Hello.

Please, check these components in the Designer.
It there still will be a problem. Please, sand us your report template with sample data to reproduce the issue.

Thank you.
