Cloning

 

The unique Clone component is included into Stimulsoft Reports. This component is used to clone parts of a report into a required part of a report. Cloning can be used only in panels.

 

Notice: The Clone component can work with the Panel component.

 

How it works? Put a panel on a page. Put bands to output lists. Place a panel on the left part of a page. Place a Clone component on the right side of a page. Then, in the Clone component designer, indicate the panel that should be cloned. In our case it is the panel that was created on a page.

 

 

Run a report. The panel will be rendered first. The list will be output on the left side of a page. Then the list will be continued to output on the place where the Clone component is placed. The Clone component clones all bands of the panel. Using the Clone component it is possible to render complex reports with columns. The first column is output using the panel and other columns - using the Clone component. It is important to consider the order of placing Clone components on a page.

 

Notice: Panel components and their clones will output in order of placing components on a page.
