Including all traditional options in R:BASE 7.6 for Windows Report Designer, such as Report Header, Page Header, Break Header, Details, Break Footer, Page Footer and Report Footer, now you also have the option of "Page Style".

If defined, the Page Style option of R:BASE 7.6 for Windows Report Designer, prints anything on that band once for each page.

Page Style is always printed as the bottommost layer of the page and does not use any space on the page (as do the other band types).

Page Styles are usually sized to the printable area of the page and filled with controls that represent formatting to appear on each page. This is usually done in order to emulate forms.

The Page Setting property of Page Style determines which pages the page style will appear on. Following are the possible values:

All

The page style appears on all pages.

First Page

The page style appears on the first page only.

Last Page

The page style appears on the last page only.

Pages

The page style appears on the pages in the range specified by page number(s) specified. You will need to enter page numbers and/or page ranges separated by commas. For example, 1,3,5-12

The Visible property of Page Style determines whether a Page Style band will be printed. You can conditionally print the contents of Page Style band by setting the Visible property. You can suppress the printing of an entire band by setting the Visible property of each report band to False.

If the Height property of the Page Style band is set to Static, then blank white space equivalent to the height of the band will be printed. If the Height is set to Dynamic, no page space is used and the next band begins printing.

If you want to suppress an entire band, it is usually best to use the Visible property of the band itself.

To display and/or set the Height (Dynamic or Static), Calc Order, Page Settings, Position and Visible property from the Report Designer speed menu, position your mouse cursor over the Page Style band and click the right mouse button. The Visible option should be near the bottom of the speedmenu. If it is checked (the default), the Page Style band will be printed. Selecting the Visible option from this menu will toggle its value.
