  Hi everyone

  We have a section report like a normal letter.

  On this report has “GroupHeader2” (header) attribute “RepeatStyle” “OnPage”. One letter could have 1 or more details. This means one letter could have one page minimum until many pages. BUT only on first page should be the address block. On page two and more until next letter should be the address block hide.

  At the moment it looks like if you activate RepeatStyle OnPage, then the group header will generate only once and not on every page again.

  Can you help us to fix it or to enplane how we can have same group header on every page with different elements on first page?

  You will find the example in attach.

  Many thanks for your time.

  Hello,

  RepeatStyle.OnPage repeats the group header section with every new page.
  
  As per your report, it seems that your requirement is being met with the script you use. Please refer the attached gif showing how it appears at our end. Kindly inform if there’s some difference in the understanding of the requirement.
  
  The blank last page owes to the extra space from the PageHeader and GroupFooter1.
  
  You may also want to share the ActiveReports version that you use.

  Regards,

  Hi Esha

  Thanks for your GIF. It is exactly what we need. But I did a fault.

  The problem is data-driven. The wrong second page is there, if second page has only one position. You can check the (new) example bottom. The position on second page is for letter “A1”. But in group header there is the address block with similar address from first page. On second page there shouldn’t be the address block.

  Thanks for your support

  All the best

  Hello,

  Thanks for the modified report. To resolve the said issue, you can modify the script as:

  string LetterIDBefore = "";
  
  public void GroupHeader2_BeforePrint()
  {
  	if(LetterIDBefore == txt_Addressblock.Text)
  		txt_Addressblock.Visible = false;
  	else
  		txt_Addressblock.Visible = true;
  	}public void GroupHeader2_AfterPrint()
  {
  	LetterIDBefore = txt_Addressblock.Text;
  }
  

  OR

  int i = 0;
  public void GroupHeader2_Format()
  {
      TextBox1.Text = i.ToString();
      
      if(i==0)
          txt_Addressblock.Visible = true;
      else
          txt_Addressblock.Visible = false;
  }
  public void GroupHeader2_AfterPrint()
  {
      i = i + 1;
  }
  public void GroupFooter2_AfterPrint()
  {
      i = 0;
  }
  

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks,
  
  Esha

  Hi Esha

  Your great! This is the solution.

  I never used before “AfterPrint”

  Many thanks for your fast support.
