SubDetail Band
A subdetail is a sort of detail band, but it is subordinate to the real detail band. For example if you want to print a list of audio CDs, and for each CD a title list should be printed, you would use a detail band for printing the CD names and connect a subdetail band to the titles , so separate lists of titles are printed below each CD name. Please note that in order to use such a connection you must create a corresponding table connection (called "master-detail-relationship") as well by using the database setup.
The following options are available for the subdetail band:
Table:
This is the dataset that is used by the subdetail band.
Color:
This defines the background color of the report band.
Master:
The master is the table superior to the subdetail table. For each record in the master table a subdetail list is printed.
Only print if Expression is True: An expression can be used to determine whether the band should be printed or not. The expression must have a logical result of "true" or "false". Press the button on the right side of the expression edit line to use the expression expert.
