How can I shrink a Master band?

alexmicrosrv

Hello,

I have a master band with 3 memo.

---

memo1
memo2
memo3

---

Now if a memo is empty band appear with the same height.

---

memo1
(empty space for memo2 when it has no data)
memo3

---

I only found how to make the height grown (with the Stretch property), butI can no shrink it.

I want to shrink the band if some memo is empty. Is it possible? HOw can I do it?


Thanks in advance.

Try to use child bands for memo2 and memo3. Hide child bands when memos is empty and set band's property PrintChildIfInvisible to True
Also you can use one memo instead of three memos

Try this idea in OnBeforePrint event for your MasterData band:

if  MyMemo2Empty  then
begin
    SaveMemo2Height := Memo2.Height;
    SaveMemo3Top := Memo3.Top;
    Memo2.Height := 0;
    Memo3.Top := Memo2.Top;
    MasterData1.Height := Memo3.Top + Memo3.Height;
end
else begin
    Memo3.Top := SaveMemo3Top;
    Memo2.Height  := SaveMemo2Height;
    MasterData1.Height := Memo3.Top + Memo3.Height;
end
