Report page
This page of the Component palette contains the data formatting components required for reports.

What it is |
What it does |
StreamFrame |
The StreamFrame object receives and displays rowset data streamed from linked tables (specified in its streamSource property). One or more streamFrame objects may be contained within the pageTemplate object. |
Dropping a component, such as a check box, into the streamFrame area of a report will cause that object to be printed as part of the report’s row data. |
Group |
The Group object is descended from the streamFrame object that contains data from the query’s rowset. By dropping a Group object on a report’s streamframe, a Headerband and Footerband are created, with editable placeholder text for the group’s heading. A streamFrame may contain several Group objects. |
Groups the display of rowsets by the value of a selected field. For example, in a "Sales by District" report, you might have a Group object for each District to display sales rowsets for that district. |
