Strange behavior of PageFooterBand

[Jennypi]

Hi,

I have a variable that summarize what is displayed on each page of the report.
I would like this:

Page 1
A
B
==>Variable in pagefooter = "A - B"
Page 2
C
D
==>Variable in pagefooter = "C - D"

The problem is that "A - B" is not displayed on page 1 footer, but on page 2!

To calculate the variable I set the AfterPrint event of the databand to

Code: Select all

variable=variable+" - "+data.letter;

and the calculation seem to work well, but is displayed on the next page. I don't understand why.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Please see a sample, how this can be realized using scriptis. In the nearest future we are planning to make improvements so it will be possible to do without additional code.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply, I will have a look.
Is your solution working with the old version of Stimulsoft Reports?

Hello,

No. This should work on all versions of Stimulsoft.Reports.

Thank you.

Hi,

I had a look to your solution but I could not understand how it works, it is way far from my level of understanding.
Could you give me more explanations on what to do?
Or could I send you my report so you can have a look?

Thank you very much.

Hello,

Page Header and Footer are rendered before the page rendering, so that they display information on the start of a page, in other words data sources were not processed. To achieve the necessary result, in this example, we
(1) in the GetValue () event, of the required textbox (in the footer) remember it in instance in a variable, (2) in the second variable, processing data of the data band, we calculate the desired result, (3) and then, in the event AfterPrint of a page, write this value to the instanse of a textbox (in the footer).

Thank you.

OK now I understand.
