I'm not sure if this is possible but here goes. What I wish to do is create an additional tab within my report as I wish to add an extra text box after details.
When adding the textbox within the details tab it repeats after every grade as shown below.
If the textbox is placed in the footer it only shows at the bottom of the page shown below.
I wish the textbox to appear as shown in the image below.
Ideally I would like to add an additional tab below details within the design view to place this textbox and a page break. Shown below is the design view.
If anyone can give some light on how this can be done that would be great.
Thank you for your time
You need to switch on the Footer for the Students_StudentID section.
This is done in the Group, Sort and Total pane.

I have been working on reports in Sql Server Reporting services and I am trying to create a tabbed report.
I wish to have a main report which read in parameter details from the user then in the report there are tabs to other reports which use the same parameter details entered by the user on the main report.
Anyone got any idea how to go about this ? Have tried creating subreports but it doesnt quite create that overall feel of a tabbed report.
There is no native feature for tabs, but you can create that functionality with a combination of existing features.
Add textboxes along the top which will be your tab names.
Add a hidden parameter which will track which tab is selected. Have the first value selected by default.
Add an action to each textbox which goes back to the report with a specific value passed to the parameter.
Add an expression to the border properties of each textbox so that you can visually see which one is selected. For example you can remove the bottom border for the selected tab.
Add a visibility expression to everything else on the report so that the items only show up when their tab is selected.
Now each time you click a tab, it will refresh the report and show that tab highlighted along with the content it contains. It's a lot of steps, but it's the best workaround I've found for this feature.
I am new to Windows Form application and trying to build a small application.
I had dragged and dropped a label on the main form.
Then I deleted its text property to empty string basically hiding the label.
Now I would like to move this label to some other location on the form but unable to do so because I cannot find it.
I checked the designer file and its there.
But I cannot find it in the form so that I can grab it and move to a different location.
Please help.
Thanks
Use Document Outline. Look at the following images.
That happens to me several times, and a few weeks ago I found a way to get the empty label like this:
On the tab "Properties" just click on the arrow to show all controls and click on the label you want, this will automatically select the label on your form..
I am looking into adding a button to the "end" of the grid view.
The idea is that I have a grouped view showing groups and items with in these groups. I only show some of the items within the group and wants to show a "load more" button at the end of the items shown.
I have tried all kinds of things in the standard grouped items page with no luck.
Any good ideas?
Thanks in advance

The simplest answer is to follow the approach used by most existing apps: Allow the user to click on the header to display all the items.
You can also add the "Load More" button as if it was a normal grid item. Then, style it differently using a different template and ItemTemplateSelector.
Finally, the most complex (and flexible) solution would be to put the "Load More" button above the GridView, and manually sync its location when the GridView is scrolled...
Another question for you Filemaker Pro experts. The database I am developing starts with a Main layout with a number of buttons (e.g. insert new item, show all items, etc.). Each button is associated to a script, which takes the user to the relevant layout. In each of these layouts I show the buttons in a row, and highlight the current layout with inverse colour.
My problem is that some of the buttons lead to the same layout, viewed in different modes, and I don't know how to conditionally highlight the right button.
For instance, Insert new item and Show all items take to the same layout, however in the first case the script views the layout as a form and inserts a new record, while in the second I view as a list and show all records. The layout is the same, though, so I'd need to enact a conditional formatting based on something. How do I do that, and what should I check against?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards.
Presumably you are currently using the formula: Get (LayoutName) to decide on your conditional formula, why not try additionally using formulas: Get(WindowMode) and Get(LayoutViewState)?
You could conditionally format the button if (which sends user to MyLayout in browse mode):
Get(WindowMode)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
Or (which sends user to MyLayout in form view):
Get(LayoutViewState)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
.
Other functions which may help could be Get(FoundCount) and Get(TotalRecordCount). You can see the entire list of Get functions here.
I have a client report (.rdlc) that I am editing in Visual Studio. I need a way to display an empty page header on every page, except the first page of the report.
The reason for this is because the client has paper with their logo that needs space at the top to display on subsequent pages.
Possibly, this might help you.
On the report, right-click on the page header and select the option Header Properties...
On Page Header Properties, uncheck the option Print on first page. Now the page header will not appear on the first page of the report.
Create an empty textbox that is big enough to hold the logo.
Then, for the Hidden property of that textbox, use the expression:
=IIf(Globals!PageNumber=1,false,true)
That will hide the textbox on the first page but show it on all others.
