3-Column MasterData on 0 Column Page

edited March 2005 in FastReport 3.0
Hi,

I've asked this question before but I haven't managed to work it out yet.

I have a report page with multiple MasterData sections. One of the sections is 3 columns. How can I make the data flow vertically through the columns instead of horizontally?

At the moment, the data flows horizontally,

Record1 |Record2 |Record3
Record4 |Record5 |Record6

Instead, I want the data to flow vertically,

Record1 |Record4
Record2 |Record5
Record3 |Record6

I can't set the Page Colums to 3 because that will then apply to each MasterData section rather than just one of them (unless there is a setting I don't know about).

If this question can't be answered here, ho do I get official support for the product?

Many thanks,

Andy

    Band does not have such option, it prints only left-to-right and then top-to-bottom. You could use simple script that changes Engine.CurX and Engine.CurY to move current position.

    OOh! That sounds interesting I'll take a look at that.

    Is Engine a global object or do I need to declare it?

    Thanks Alex,

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.
