Hi,

In report designer, I try to access a crossbandline in script. However, I always get error like:

Detail.OnBeforePrint, Line 27: error BC30451: Name "cvbl5" is not declared.

"cvbl5" is name of my crossbandline. I can access label in the script without any problem, so the question is, how can I access crossbandline in script? Thanks.

Hi Alex,

Have you had a look at the XRCrossBandLine documentation? Would you consider posting your script? It’s difficult for me to determine the cause of the issue without seeing what you’re doing.

Hi,

In my report, I put a OnBeforePrint script in one "Detail" band, under this "Detail" band, there are some crossbandline, one crossbandline is named as "cbvl5"

Here are code segment:

Private Sub OnBeforePrint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs)

Dim bPrintContainerNoAndDepot as Boolean
bPrintContainerNoAndDepot = False

[skip some codes]

if (bPrintContainerNoAndDepot = True) then
lblContainerNo.Visible = True
lblDepot.Visible = True
fldContainerNo.Visible = True
fldDepot.Visible = True

''Item size
else
lblContainerNo.Visible = false
lblDepot.Visible = false
fldContainerNo.Visible = False
fldDepot.Visible = False
cbvl5.Visible = False

[skip some codes]

while previewing this template, I got this error message:

Detail.OnBeforePrint, line 27: error BC30451: Name: "cbvl5" is not declared.

it seems that the program can not find "cbvl5". (but for other UI items like label, it is no problem to access them.)

Hi Alex,

It looks like cross-band lines may not be available to scripts. Most objects exist within a band, but by definition, cross-band lines do not. I believe this poses a problem for Report Designer being able to reference them within a script. You’ll notice that you are also unable to apply a script directly on a cross-band line object.

You may be able to accomplish this using conditional formatting instead by applying a formatting rule to your cross-band line. Your other option would be to use multiple standard line objects instead.

I hope this helps.
