Controls pushed off to the right

This is pretty weird... any controls past the halfway horizontal point of the report get pushed into page 2. The leftmost control is not affected just those to the right of it. It's like there is an invisible tab after the leftmost control. Smaller (not leftmost controls) (not past the middle of the page) are also pushed way to the right (just not into a new page)

Is there some property (that I'm not aware of) that does this? It doesn't matter if I use textboxes or lines. I have not changed any of the default control properties. flow layout is still LTR.
In my current report I have questions and answers on separate lines...I can't place them next to each other or it screws up the pagination.

I start with a new report and it does not do this but as soon as I add 2-3 vertical pages (over 11' x 2) This starts happening.

Has anyone experienced this?

I have experienced this in trying to lay out textboxes next to each other. The one to the right ends up getting pushed much further to the right then I want it to. The I've found to stop this from happening is to put both of my text boxes in a rectangle and then size the rectangle to match the width of the page. Then I can place my text boxes where I want within the rectangle and they'll stay put, for the most part.

Has anyone experienced this?Select from the menu format->align and left/center/right. I think it should
be with alignment. because you said all the controls comes to left side of
the page.

Controls on reports

Hi,
I have just created my first report using VS.NET 2005 and Reporting
Services. There is a small choice of controls to une on my reports.
The simplest control is Label, which I cannot find.
Please tell me how to place some text on a report.
regards
PrzemoThere is no difference between text and label. The reason is, this is a
report not a data entry form so it is not necessary to differentiate between
them. Put a text box on the form and then just type in whatever text you
want. Or, if you are going to be more complicated, set it to an expression
and use the expression builder to put in more complex text (for instance you
can refer to the parameters so you can show what parameters the user picked
when running the report).

Controls missing in toolbox

All in sudden all the Controls (Table, Crosstab, textbox...) disappeared from my Toolbox. I clicked View -> Toolbox and still it is empty.

Anyone has any idea what is going on..

Thanks.

Got it. I reset and got all back.

thanks.

Controls disappear

Is it not possible to execute one package and then design another package? I am executing one package and trying to design another package and just have a grey window in the control tool box that says:

"there are no usable controls in this group. Drag an item onto this text to add it to the toolbar"

Can I only get my controls by dragging when another package is executing? Where do I drag them from?

Thanks,

Kayda

You seem quite new to this and some things are very odd about SSIS.

The controls are dragged from the Toolbox window. Get this by clicking on the "spanner and hammer" icon at the top. Or Crtl+Alt+X or via the menu View->Toolbox.

You have to be on the Control Flow or Data Flow panels. You get different tools for the 2 different contexts.

Also, you need to check you are executing the correct package. In the Solution Explorer, under the SSIS Packages folder right click on your xxxxxx.dtsx file and select "Set as StartUp Object" for the package you want to execute ... or just select "Execute Package" to run the one you want. You have to stop debugging the previous package before you design or run the next one.

Since you have already done one package, I may have misunderstood your questions.

Hope this helps

Hi Kayda,

The Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) changes modes when the debugger starts. It disables most editing functionality until it exits debug mode. It also hides controls in the toolboxes. This is by design.

Although the package execution is complete, the IDE remains in debug mode until stopped (Shift-F5 or the VCR-style Stop button will do it).

This is different from DTS and a normal source of confusion for folks making the transition.

Hope this helps,
Andy

|||Perhaps you could open a second session of BIDS; or use DTExec or DTExecUI to execute the packages while still developing other packages

Controlling number of rows to display in a table and matrix on one page

Is there a way to control how many Detail Rows are displayed on one page in Table and Matrix controls?

hii

do you mean to say if there are 100 rows and you want only 10 rows to be shown in one page right without any change in the formatting?

i think the rough way is that you can increase the hight of the detail section but it will change the formatting of the page.still am trying with the issue .

Thanks

Control w/hidden=true displays as white space

We have a section of a report that should only be displayed if we have data
for it. We have tried putting all of the controls in a rectangle, and then
setting the visibility based on the record count. If we have zero (0) rows,
the controls are hidden, but white space is now displayed equal to the
height of the rectangle that is hidden.
We have tried moving these controls to a sub-report and we exerience the
same thing. However much vertical space the sub-report control consumes at
design time is replaced with whitespace when we hide the report. While this
is a bit better since the height of the sub-report control can be much
smaller than the report itself, it is still frustrating.
Example:
Rec A
Rec B
Rec C
When we hide Rec B, we see:
Rec A
Rec C
What we want is:
Rec A
Rec C
It seems when we hide textboxes, they do not consume any vertical space.
1) How can we also remove the white space when hiding a rectangle or
sub-report?
2) Out of curiosity, what is the rational behind this behavior? Why would
one hide a control and not want subsequent controls "moved up" to take the
hidden controls place.

>|||Have you tried using a table instead of independent text boxes to

cell) then the row below moves up.|||Hi Chris (I'm sorry to bother you but I think you could help me)
The reason I'm sending you this email is that I did find a question (see
below) which you did post in this newsgroup for almost a year ago which
indicates that you already have went through the same problem situation as
I'm right now.
May I ask which product you are using when you are merging your PDF
documents into one single document? Are you happy with your choice?
Many thanks and best regards
/Anders
To get around a MS Reporting Service limitation, instead of using
sub-reports, we may have to create individual reports in PDF format and then
merge them into a single PDF report. We have found tools that can merge PDF
files, but this presents us with another issue: page numbers. We want the
resulting merged PDF files to have continous page numbers. Is there a way
to tell MS Reporting Services to start with a specific page number when
rendering a report. Can we some how do this with a report parameter?
