Composite report like in QuickReport

livius

Hi,

i try to make same thing what was easly possible in QuickReport using CompositeReport.

In QuickReport i have 3 (i have more but to simplify discussion) base reports

ReportTitle (contain company info, contact, application version ..)
ReportCustomer (contain customer name, address ....)
ReportProduct (contain product name, short description, ...)

And when i create new Report i use in CompositeReport above reports. i can use any of above reports

e.g.
QRCompositeReport1.Reports.Add(FormDrukTitle.QuickRepPortrait); //Title
QRCompositeReport1.Reports.Add(FormDrukCustomer.QuickRep1); //customer info
QRCompositeReport1.Reports.Add(QuickRep1); // current report of some kind

i can print Title report on every page.

---

How can i do same in FastReports?

I need to print Header on every page
I need to print Customer on every group

e.g.

---

Page1

---

ReportTitle
ReportCustomer
report data for this customer
onother customer
ReportCustomer
report data for this customer

---

Page2

---

ReportTitle
continue report data for this customer
onother customer
ReportCustomer
report data for this customer

---

Is it possible at all in FastReports?
I have tried

Var RequiresBlankPage: Boolean;
  PreviewPagesCount: Integer;
  ms: TMemoryStream;
begin
  FDConnection1.Connected:= true;
  SDSDyrekcja.Active:= false;
  SDSDyrekcja.SQL.Text:= 'SELECT * FROM DYREKCJA D';
  SDSDyrekcja.Open();

  ms:= TMemoryStream.Create;
  try
    frxReportComposite.PrepareReport();

    //frxReportHeader.LoadFromFile('P:\Projekty\Nosniki\FastReport\Nagł??wekCzysteNosniki.fr3', true);
    frxReportHeader.PrepareReport(true);
    ms.Clear;
    frxReportHeader.SaveToStream(ms);
    ms.Position:= 0;
    frxReportComposite.LoadFromStream(ms);
    frxReportComposite.PrepareReport(false);
    frxReportComposite.PreviewPages.CurPage:= frxReportComposite.PreviewPages.CurPage-1;

    //frxReportComposite.PreviewPages.AddFrom(frxReportHeader);

    PreviewPagesCount := frxReportComposite.PreviewPages.Count - 1;
    RequiresBlankPage := (PreviewPagesCount mod 2) <> 0;
    {if RequiresBlankPage then
      frxReport1.PreviewPages.AddEmptyPage (0); }


    frxReport1.PrepareReport();
    ms.Position:= 0;
    frxReport1.SaveToStream(ms);
    ms.Position:= 0;
    frxReportComposite.LoadFromStream(ms);
    frxReportComposite.PrepareReport(false);
    //frxReportComposite.PreviewPages.AddFrom(frxReport1);

    // Delete the Cover Sheet
    frxReportComposite.PreviewPages.DeletePage (0);
    frxReportComposite.ShowPreparedReport;
  finally
    FreeAndNil(ms);
  end;
