fpreport: can not use two ObjectLists as datasource in one report

[af0815]

I have a sample included witch show the problem.

I want in the report (created a runtime) to use more than one report datasource. I create a databand and connect this with a TFPReportObjectListData object. Each TFPReportObjectListData object works. But i want to have the data of the first, then the data of the other object. But i am not able to combine this two Data in one Report.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   DataBand := TFPReportDataBand.Create(p);
2.   DataBand.Name:= 'DBBand01';
3.   DataBand.Layout.Height := 10;
4.   DataBand.Data:= lReportOLData1;   // First Data !!!!! This is shown
5.  
6.   Memo := TFPReportMemo.Create(DataBand);
7.   Memo.Layout.Left := 5;
8.   Memo.Layout.Top := 0;
9.   Memo.Layout.Width := 60;
10.   Memo.Layout.Height := 5;
11.   Memo.Font.Name := defaultFont;
12.   Memo.Text := '[InfoA] - [ValueA]';
13.  
14.  
15.   DataBand2 := TFPReportDataBand.Create(p);
16.   DataBand2.Name:= 'DBBand02';
17.   DataBand2.Layout.Height := 10;
18.   DataBand2.Data:= lReportOLData2;   // Second Data !!!!! This is not shown
19.  
20.   Memo2 := TFPReportMemo.Create(DataBand2);
21.   Memo2.Layout.Left := 5;
22.   Memo2.Layout.Top := 0;
23.   Memo2.Layout.Width := 60;
24.   Memo2.Layout.Height := 5;
25.   Memo2.Font.Name := defaultFont;
26.   Memo2.Text := '[InfoB] - [ValueB]';
27.  

Any Hint for this problem to solve ?

For clarity: it's as designed, but that doesn't mean I won't consider
changing the design. Just don't report it as a bug, because it is not.

Michael.

FPReport cannot handle more than one dataset per page without a master detail relationship. LazReport have no such problem with it.

FPReport is only a very limited reportingtool (i see now) and for more complex reports (i mean only more than one dataset !! per page !!) useless. Use LazReport or a other good reportingtool instead.

Limitation are by design. .... No more words.
