Add a new report element

Top  Previous  Next

 

Buttons for adding report elements to the report can be found on the left side of the designer window:

 

_bm12 Reportband

_bm13 Childband

_bm14 Subdetailband

_bm15 Groupband

_bm16 Label

_bm17 Memo

_bm18 Image/Bitmap

_bm19 Shape

_bm20 Systemfield

_bm21 Datafield

_bm22 Image from data field

_bm23 Expression field

 

The availability of the following report elements depends on the used platform (16 or 32 bit) and on the application in which the report designer is used:

 

_bm24 Richtext field        _bm25 Richtext from data field

 

To add an element to the report you must click its button and then click on the report where you want the element to be inserted. Of course you can still move a report element to another position later.

When adding new report bands it doesn't matter where you click on the report, because the position of each band is determined by its band type (page header, title band, ...) automatically.
