Virtual List Print Layout with horizontal lines

[cat traveller]

Hi everyone,

because of the need to put several several sets of data on one page, I collected my data in a virtual list

and created a print layout from that.

The style technique Bruce Robertson described and the explanation here http://fmforums.com/forum/topic/82935-vlist-technique-applying-styles-formatting/

was very helpful to make the data look nice.

However, I am stuck with the setup of the horizontal line dividers. If it is clear that all lines are just one line, I could go away with a container. However some lines are two lines high, some just one.

What I want to create is this

TITLE

----------------------------------

Some text here

might be two lines € 1

Some text € 2

------------------------------------

total € xyz

-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------

I cannot get the horizontal line there......

Any approach on that?

Thank you

Try virtual tables - bit more effort but gives you access to all the normal report writing features you want.

Thanks Brian,

actually I have to admit, I set this up already that way when I posted the question. You mean I should then create an invisible column for the sort

to do the subsummary and include the lines there? Bummer I already scripted all the totals and the headers virtually.

No, that does not work.

Take it I have the following, the lines would show up even if unwanted.

HEADER

------------

Component 1 price

Component 2 price

-------------

subtotal

-------------

-------------

HEADER

--------------

some cool text that doesnt need a subtotal

--------------

subtotal line that will be shown because of sorting and that should not be there

ok, I solved it.

Two text fields on top of each other below the content of the line that needs the underline.

The lower field has the formatting of line.

The upper field is conditional formatting and will either be white (thus hiding the line) or clear (showing the line).

If the textfield has no content (which would be good if the line is supposed to be hidden), the fields will also wrap

to the line above.
