strange behaviour: hide group header

Reply Contact

Hello,

I have made a simple report where I group some values and want to hide group header depending on data field value. So I have wrote a script OnFormat:

if hideheader = 1 then
block_nr_Header.Visible = False
else
block_nr_Header.Visible = True
end if

Variable "hideheader" is data field from my data source which is pure xml file. Hiding works for some groups but for another doesn't even value of "hideheader" is allways correct. I can send you both files (data and report definition), just don't know how to upload them here.

Kind regards,

Milo

Hi Milo

I used the following script in the GroupHeader0's OnFormat property in the "DynamicPageHeader" report of C:\Program Files\ComponentOne Studio.NET 2.0\C1Report\Samples\XML\CommonTasks\CommonTasks.XML report definition file and got favourable results.

If CategoryID = 1 then ' CategoryID is a Database field
Report.Groups("CategoryName").SectionHeader.visible = False
Else
Report.Groups("CategoryName").SectionHeader.visible = True
End If

In order to upload your report definition file along with database, I would suggest you to click on the OptionsTab and then under FileAttachments click on Add/Update Button, to upload the files. Preferably Zip files.

Regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

sorry I'm late. Here are my test files, data_test.xml is my data source (table laborlegende) and report_test.xml is report definition file. When you start report you will see in preview most left column contains 1 or 0. 1 means I want to hide block_nr_Header at this position otherwise I want to show it. Information is in field hideheader and script on header is:

if hideheader = 1 then
block_nr_Header.Visible = False
else
block_nr_Header.Visible = True
end if

problem: look at second page where position begins with B2006.23276, from there all block_nr_Header(s) are hidden even field hideheader=0. Have you an idea why?

Regards,

Milo

Hi Milo

I was able to replicate the issue.

The issue seems to be related to the way in which data is being populated, because if I use the attached New_Data_text.XML then the headers for positions beginning with B2006.23276 do get rendered. However headers for B2006.23278 do not show.

block_nr_Headers OnFormat property does not seem to fire in these cases (you may use a message box to check the occurrence). It seems to be related to the values set for the Block_nr element in the data file.

I also noticed that the issue occurs at some instances in Position B2006.23272 also, when using Data_text.XML as data source.

Hope it provides you some pointers.

Regards
Dave
