FastReport MultiColumn

edited May 2017 in FastReport VCL 5
How to make FastReport VCL calculates the number of data rows in a column in such a way that, columns are filled equally. FastReport.NET can do it by setting its properties but not in FastReportVCL. Here is the Output getting from FastReportVCL
ReportColumn 1 Data            ReportColumn 2 Data
1                  A                7             G
2                  B
3                  C
4                  D
5                  E
6                  F
---->Suppose this point is the end of page

I need to have the report look like this
ReportColumn 1 Data            ReportColumn 2 Data
1                  A                5              E
2                  B                6              F
3                  C                7              G
4                  D

Please suggest how to do or it is not capable to do this.

    I wonder why it lack of this features while FastReport.NET and other VCL reporting tools have it. I hope it will be implemented soon for FastReportVCL.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
