Designing a report with multiple streamFrames
The streamFrame object makes it possible to create a rectangular area of any size or position to display data rows from a linked rowset (which is set in the streamFrame’s streamSource’s rowset property).
For example, the Label wizard adds several streamFrames to a report, with their common streamSource pointing to the same rowset of customer addresses. By sizing each streamFrame to match sheets of adhesive labels, the wizard can create a report that prints a set of mailing labels.
To add a second streamFrame to an existing report,
From the Component palette, Report page, drag the streamFrame component to the design surface of the report.
The streamFrame object appears closed, as a box. You can drag this box diagonally to any desired size.
In addition, by using the Source editor, you can create additional streamFrames and set each streamFrame’s streamSource property to point to different rowsets. For example, you could add two streamFrame objects side-by-side on a report, with one frame displaying sales representatives grouped by city and the adjacent frame displaying prospective customers grouped by city.
