Report - Dynamically add a table

Hi,

I am creating a report dynamically using jades createPrintForm.
What I want to do is add dynamically a table to the report and populate it. I cant get the table to show on the report. (I cant use the Painter to generate the report either).
Prints everything except the table.
Any suggestions.

Thanks
create vPivotTable transient;
vFrameDetails := vRpt.newFrame(details);

vPivotTable.parent := vFrameDetails;
vRpt.addControl(vPivotTable);

vPivotTable.columns := 2;
vPivotTable.rows := 15;
vPivotTable.defaultRowHeight := 20;
vPivotTable.fixedRows := 1;
vPivotTable.addItemAt("Hello" & Tab & "Troy Here",1);

//Print Heading.
vRpt.printFrame(headings);
vRpt.printLine(1);
vRpt.printFrame(details);

Works fine for me when printing a dynamically added Table control.

I had to guess at what your newFrame(details) method did of course.

What heights are your Frame and Table controls when you print them?

Hi,

I havent set the table width or height, does it default to zero?
Frame height and width isnt set either.

This is probably too late but i dont see a "vPivotTable.visible := true".

I'm pretty sure when you add Controls they are set to "visible := false".

Hope this helps.

Looking at the online help for addControl, it makes no specific mention of Control::visible being set to false. This means the statement in the online help that default values will be used applies, and the default for visible is true for a Table control.

This is also backed up by my quick test schema back in October '05 which also did not touch the Control::visible property.

Hope that helps,
Pat.
