Fastreport VCL: Page with 2 columns, breake columns 1 after half of data

Hello

I use a report with 3 different pages. Page 2 has 2 columns. Setting of Page 2 and Page 3 is PrintOnPreviousePage = True.

Is there a possibility to break columns 1 so that in Column 1 and Column 2 same count of rows. Currently Column1 is filling complete page before it is switching to column2

There is in VCL also no setting "Print down then across" like in the .NET version right?

regards

Gerd

  • Hello!

    Try to set the number of columns not on the page, but on the band

  • Set band to 2 columns I have two problems:

    • Band can only Print "Across and then down"
    • I didn't found a possibility to set header over each column and on each pages

  • Could you then provide an example of what you want (screenshot, image, and so on)

  • There is in VCL also no setting "Print down then across" like in the .NET version right?

    Yes. Use Engine.NewColumn to start new column in the script.

  • What I want is this


    but what I get is this


    I use 3 pages: Page 2 with 2 columns and page 1 and 3 with one column

    If I use a band with 2 columns, data where printed "Across and then down"

    What should I script to break the column after line 62?

    Why is it not possible to give the VCL version same functionality like .NET?
