New Page in QuickReport?

[hstijnen]

Hi,

I'm using QuicReport to build printed output. Now I've made a composite report from several basic reports.
How can I enforce every basic report to start on a new page?
There is, indeed, an option in the Title Band of a report: ForceNewPage. I've set it true, but without effect.
What can I do?

Thanks,

Henk

You must add a handler to the BeforePrint message for the first band (usualy the title band) on each of the basic reports. In these handlers call the NewPage() method of the report.

void __fastcall GenericBeforePrint(TObject *Sender)
{
((TMyReport*)Sender)->NewPage();
}

TMyReport * Rep[100];

void TMyCompositeReport::AddReports(...)
{
for (int i =0 ; i< NoOfReports; i++)
{
// add the report to composite report
((TMyReport*)Rep)->TitleBand1->BeforePrint = GenericBeforePrint;
}
}

usual c++ programmer

Thank you, iCounter for your suggestion. I had to make a slight modification:

void __fastcall TfrmPrint::GenericBeforePrint(TQRCustomBand *Sender, bool &PrintBand)
{
((TQuickRep*)Sender->ParentReport)->NewPage();
}

and in the QRCompositeReport1AddReports event:

frmPrintBasicRpt->TitleBand1->BeforePrint = GenericBeforePrint;

And it works.
