how to access a band by its name?

aldevinas

It seems that TfrBand does not have a property 'Name', so the following does not work:

procedure TrepRoomTraffic.frReportEndBand(Band: TfrBand);
begin
if Band.Typ =btGroupFooter  then
   begin
     if Band.name='GroupFooterUser' then
        FUserTotalTime:=0
     else
        if Band.Name='GroupFooterRoom' then
           FUserTotalRoomTime:=0;
   end;
end;

Any suggestions how to reset variables on leaving/entering band

Hi!

I always use the internal pascal interpreter to initialize or reset variables. Every kind of band has the OnBeforePrint event that is useful for operations like this.

i assume the fusertime variables are external to the report.
the problem is your code

procedure TForm1.frReport5EndBand(Band: TfrBand);
begin
if Band.Typ =btGroupFooter then
begin
if band.Name = 'GroupFooterUser' then
begin
//do whatever here
end;

if band.name = 'GroupFooterRoom' then
begin
// do whatever here
end;
end;
end;
works fine
