Stretch empty master data

Bernaert Dominique

Hello,

I need to generate an invoice where the totals are at the bottom of the page.

It could be that the invoice contains 1 detail line or 20 detail lines.

The problem is that I want to borders to reach the bottom where the totals are located. In the image included the totals are now located right after the detail lines, but I want them at the bottom.

Does anybody have a sample or a simple solution for this?

Thank you,

Dominique

Add empty child band and set his memos' height to Engine.FreeSpace - ReportSummary1.Height - 0.00001 in the child bend on before print event

Hi,

Thank you for answering, really stuck.

It seems to work for master data that does not stretch, but it does not seem to calculate correctly when it stretches because there are extra lines visible (see screenshots).

This is the code I have used:

procedure FillChildOnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);

begin

 FillChild.Height := Engine.FreeSpace - MasterData1.Height - PageFooter1.Height - Footer2.Height - ReportSummary1.Height - 0.00001;

 Line1FillChild.Height := FillChild.Height;

 Line2FillChild.Height := FillChild.Height;

 Line3FillChild.Height := FillChild.Height;

 Line4FillChild.Height := FillChild.Height;

end;

gpi

Try

procedure Footer1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);

begin

 FillChild.Height := Engine.FreeSpace - MasterData1.Height - Footer2.Height - ReportSummary1.Height - 0.00001;

 Line1FillChild.Height := FillChild.Height;

 Line2FillChild.Height := FillChild.Height;

 Line3FillChild.Height := FillChild.Height;

 Line4FillChild.Height := FillChild.Height;

Engine.ShowBand(FillChild);

end;

Don't link FillChild to any band

Yes!

Seems to work that way.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I'm facing an additional problem.

Below the masterdata, there is a second masterdata.

The routine works fine when there is only one record in the second masterdata.

But if there are more records in the second masterdata, the calculation seems wrong.

Any idea how this can be solved?

Thank you,
