Display Empty record of master detail

[ymc]

I have a master detail band called A
and the other databand called B related to the Databand A...However...I have got another databand C and D inside Databand B using container and those were related to B.

--------------------------------------------------------
A
A.data1
-----------------------------------------------
B
B.data1
B.data2
----------
C
C.data1
----------
D
D.data1
----------
B.data3
----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------

I found that the result if C or D with no data related to master detail B...the C.data1 and D.data1 shrink made B.data 3 shift up.
But if C.data1 and D.data1 have data which related to matser detail B it display correctly.
With no data the display like:

--------------------------------------------------------
A
A.data1
-----------------------------------------------
B
B.data1
B.data2
B.data3
----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------

So, how can I insert a 0 or something in the C.data1/D.data1 during no related data to B remain the shape of the report and later can use the data for calculate the subtotal on
B.data1 + B.data2 +C.data1 +C.data2 +B.data3?

did anyone have any idea?

Try setting the PrintIfDetailEmpty property of Databand B to true.

Try setting the PrintIfDetailEmpty property of Databand B to true.

I have tried this before but still cannot display and B.data3 still shifted up
I have also tried set Databand C and D PrintIfDetailEmpty to true but still no effect...

Thx

Is the Can Shrink property set to True for Databand B? This could be causing your B Data to shift up when it has no relating C or D Data.
Try setting Can Shrink to false for Databand B if you want to band to keep it's minimum size.

Is it that you want to reserve the space inside the containers on Band B even when there's no data?

The Can Shrink property was set to false by default

Yes, coz even though there is no data in C and D I would like to reserve the space during display. Moreover, I would like to see if there any way to set the value such as 0 insert into it for further calculation.

You can use the RenderingEvent event of this bands(D and C), where write the following:

Code: Select all

if (DataSourceName.Count == 0) DataBandName.CountData = 1

whereupon your databands should be shown in any case.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have added it at the renderingevent but still the same...I have email the report to
support@stimulsoft.com

Please help me to have a look.

Try to set the "Reset Data Source" property of the databands from the container, to True

Thank you.
