“Engine” object

Top Previous Next

This is the most useful and interesting object, it represents a link to the engine (FastReport’s core, which manages report construction). By using the engine’s properties and methods really exotic report design layouts can be created

The methods and properties of this object.

Property	Type	Description
CurColumn	Integer	the index of the current column in a multi-columned report a value can be assigned to this property.
CurX	Extended	the current print position on the X-axis a value can be assigned to this property.
CurY	Extended	the current print position on the Y-axis a value can be assigned to this property.
DoublePass	Boolean	equals “True” if the report is a two-pass one analogous to Report.EngineOptions.DoublePass.
FinalPass	Boolean	equals “True” when in last pass of a two-pass report
PageHeight	Extended	printable region’s height, in pixels
PageWidth	Extended	printable region’s width, in pixels
StartDate	TDateTime	time of report running the same as the <Date> system variable
StartTime	TDateTime	time of report running the same as the <Time> system variable
TotalPages	Integer	the number of pages in a report the same as the < TotalPages> system variable the report should be a two-pass one, if this variable is used
SecondScriptcall	Boolean	flag returning 'repeat-call' status of an event (in some cases an event can be called repeatedly during grouping) if True then the script has already been called

procedure AddAnchor (const Text: String)	adds “Text” to the list of anchors see more below
procedure NewColumn	creates a new column in a multi-column report after the last column a page break is automatically inserted
procedure NewPage	creates a new page (page break)
procedure ShowBand (Band: TfrxBand)	displays a band with a specified name after displaying the band the “CurY” position is automatically incremented
function FreeSpace: Extended	returns height of the white space left on page in pixels.
