Fast Report - Shift Relative To Simulator: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 06:10, 16 August 2016

Introduction

In Fast Report there is no such function call Shit Relative To. This only available in Report Builder. So to simulate this function we had created the below script.

Requirement

Fast Report
SQL Accounting Version 721 & above

Steps

Below is example using Sales Invoice

01. Place all the component (eg TfrxMemoView or TfrxRichView) as following

02. Only TfrxMemoView component need to select Dataset & DataField

03. For TfrxRichView component must leave it empty for Dataset & DataField

04. For TfrxRichView double click & select the ABC icon & select the Data Field

05. Click Tick icon after select the Field

06. On each component(i.e. MmDesc, RichDesc3 & RichSN) set all the GapY to 0

07. Click on the Empty place (see icon 1 below)

08. Double click OnBeforePrint (see icon 2 above)

09. Enter below script

procedure Page1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
begin
  //For Version 721 & above 
  ShiftRelative([MmDesc, RichDesc3, RichSN]); // ShiftRelative([ComponentName1, ComponentName2, ComponentName3]) // For DetailData1
  ShiftRelative([MmDescM, RichDesc3M]); // For DetailData2
end;

10. Save the Report.

Note: Fastest way to do (For Version 721 & above Only)

01. Copy from the build in report (Sales Invoice 7 (GST 1))
02. Paste to your report
03. Direct jump to Step 7

FAQ

01. Why it overlap when preview even at design time no overlap?

If preview shown something like below, try adjust the component to by add 0.01 for Top field

Try Below Steps (in Inch)

Set all component Height = 0.1
Set 2nd component Top = 0.1
Set 3rd component Top = 0.2
Tick the Shift When Overlapped option in right click for both 2nd & 3rd component

02. Why it still same even after all the step above had follow & all scripts had copy?

Make sure the compoents width not overlap to next field

03. Can my 2nd & 3rd field longer then 1st field?

Yes just tick the Shift When Overlapped option in right click for both 2nd & 3rd component
