Problem with Columns property of Band

airsoft

Hello

I've downloaded the lastest trial at the moment version 3.0 (3.15)

I've created program that support articles with barcodes and I need to make a Delphi form that can print a simple page with articles and their barcodes that looks that

+

---

+
| |
| +--- MASTERDATA

---

+ |
| | +-- RICHEDIT

---

+ | |
| | |_____article's name____| | |
| | +

---

+ | |
| | +-- BARCODE

---

+ | |
| | |____article's barcode___| | |
| | +

---

+ | |
| +

---

+ |
| |
+

---

+

It's possible to say that
MasterData.Columns := 2;
MasterData.ColumnGap := 20;
MasterData.ColumnWidth := 330;

and the report looks that: 2 columns x one article and below it the barcode

I've made this by 2.53 and works great, but the consumers' printer is laser CANON iR 1600 PCL5e and my program raises an exception when I click the button that starts print operation, thats why I've decided to try 3.0

You can do the same with 3.15, it has columns property too.

Yes, I know that, it is not a new future, right ?

I see a different problem

my band's ColumnWidth is set to 300, but it means 300 cm , in fact A4 format has only 21 cm, thats why my band does not work

anyway the problem is what is the setting that says how to interpret ColumnWidth i.e. cm, Inches, pixels ??
