How to have vertical line appear programmatically between columns?

Hello,
  For a forecasting report, I need to draw a line between "past" columns and "future" columns.  Unfortunately, just turning on a right or left border is not satisfactory (spaces between rows gives a "dashed line" appearance).  An SAP marketing type told us "Oh, you can have a line drawn automatically on your report, based upon some condition".  I've looked and looked, and cannot find any built-in programming objects which would provide for this.  I'm using Crystal Reports XI Rel 2. 
Any ideas?

If you've tried drawing a line, and enabling "extend to bottom of section" and that didn't work...
Would it be true to say that the height of the sections where you want this line to appear within vary as you go through the report?  Do you want the line to appear at a different x-position depending on some value?
I have a fudgy fix or two, but I need to know if you just missed he "extend" trick first!
Cheers,
J

  • How to have vertical lines in NSTableView?

    how to draw vertical lines in NSTableView? thanks.

    Where do you want to draw them? If you're referring to vertical lines where two columns meet, it's just a setting in Interface Builder, though you can do it programmatically too. Select the NSTableView in Interface Builder and click the checkbox for "Vertical Lines".
    You can do it programmatically as follows:
    to have vertical lines:
    [tableView setGridStyleMask: NSTableViewVerticalGridLineMask];
    to remove vertical and have no lines:
    [tableView setGridStyleMask: NSTableViewGridNone];
    Hope this helps....

  • How to stop vertical line between columns repeating in 2nd column

    Hi there,
    I have a report in which the details sections are repeated over 2 columns. I want to have a vertical line going down between the columns, however I don't seem to be able to place the line in the "dead space" between the sections, so I end up with the line repeated at the right hand side of the second column.
    Can anyone suggest how to draw the line independently of the columning format?
    thanks
    -KarenB

    oh duh! of course! The problem only started when I shortened the line to the last details section while trying to fix another problem... thanks for the tip! All fixed.
    cheers

  • On start up green vertical lines appear and then the become spots and imac freezes

    on start up green vertical lines appear and then they become spots covering entire screen and imac freezes, does not start. I need to do a safe boot to open the imac 2009

    Unfortunately this sounds like a hardware failure. Run Apple Hardware Test in extended modeat least 2-3 times back to back. If errors appear then you have confirmed my suspicion. However if no errors appear unfortunatelyyou are not out of the woods l yet  because AHT is not the more reliable test. If you do know know how to run AHT please refer to:

  • Vertical line appearing on my screen

    today I started having a vertical line appear on my screen. It flickered on and off for a while and then came on for good. I can't seem to get this to go away.
    By doing a simple search I've found that this is a cable defect in the product and that Apple is not addressing the issue claming this is from overuse and the cable just deteriorated - Surprise you get to pay $700 to have this fixed. This is crazy!!! These computers are supposed to be the Mercedes of the computer world! Not the Yugo that falls apart after you drive over a large bump! I've only had the computer for a year and half!
    I'm posting this here to see when Apple plans to address this growing problem.

    Please see the other topics in this forum related to your question.

  • Pink vertical lines appearing on screen

    I have a G5 about 2 years old. Recently a pale pink vertical line appeared down the screen, another about 2 weeks later and today a third line appeared. They do not affect the screen's visibility, but I wander if anyone else has found a resolution to this minor problem (without having to go out and purchase a replacement.

    Hi Ocean swimmer-
    Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
    Makes sure to check the cable connections at both ends.
    Which monitor do you have? If you take a screen shot do the lines still show up in the same place?

    Disabling "Automatic Graphics Switching" seems to work to resolve this problem if there are random lines that appear around windows and glitches in the display.

    hi narendar,
    Welcome to SDN.
       u can go for box command.
    Use the box command with zero width for vertical lines.
    Position the line by x position and y postion.
    syntax :
    BOX <xpos> <ypos>
           <width>
          <height>
          <thickness in twips> twips.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 scans have vertical lines.

    I have a OfficeJet Pro 8600 and my scans have vertical lines.  Copying does not have the lines.

    I used the ADF and the flat bed to scan; both having lines as a result.
    In one of the forums and they thought it was static.  It was suggested to have the printer on and then unplug it.  Wait 15 seconds and plug it back in.  That did the trick.  No more lines.  I guess with winter bringing on more dry air, static is prevalent.
    Problem solved.
    Thanks

  • I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges.

    I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges. There are no lines when copying, faxing or scanning, only printing. I have cleaned the glass, scanner and even dusted where the toner cartride slides in.  Any suggestions?

    Sorry but I have worked on laser printers for over 20 years and never encountered your issue.  That is of course if you are explaining it correctly.  When you make a copy to be printed or print a reports page from the printer or send a print job to the printer, if in all these cases you get the line, then yes the issue is either the toner cartridge or the fuser.  If you make a copy to be printed and it prints without the line (Put original in adf, press copy button and print should come out), then you have one weird unit since it does not make sense since the print formatter on the unit whether making a copy or printing from the computer or unit itself uses the same hardware.  Now to test if the printed copy has a line then just put a sheet of paper on top of the feed tray and do a self test from the printer.  When the back edge of the paper enters the printer, quickly open the toner door to stop the printing.  Remove the toner cartridge and look at the image below.  If the defect is present the toner cartridge is the issue and if the image below does not have the defect, then the fuser needs to be replaced.  Best I can do.  Good Luck.

  • How to type vertical line on macbook pro keyboards?

    Please tell me how to type vertical line on macbook pro keyboards?

    (1) It sounds like you might be using a Spanish keyboard. You should specify this to begin with. Unless you do, the default assumption is that you're using a US keyboard. The advice you received is correct for the US keyboard.
    (2) To see how to enter any character available with your current keyboard, enable Keyboard Viewer, as described here
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh35878.html>
    (3) There is no "alt" key on a Mac keyboard. You are talking about the Option (⌥) key. See (search for "Alt key" in)
    What's it called on my Mac?

    (4) My advice is move on from Fraise. AFAIK, it's dead. Try TextWrangler, which is free and more capable.

  • Vertical lines appear in every photo taken w my 3 yr old Power Shot A470.Can't get rid of them.Help?

    in the midst of photo shoot yesterday, this vertical line pattern appeared in every photo and can't get rid of it. Triple checked all my settings, nothing's changed about how I take my photos. 
    Through the viewfinder when I prefocus I see the result of what my photo should look like after the shot, but after I take it, the shot is 50% lighter, with a horrible pattern of lines. Has my camera totally died? Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I cannot take photos anymore with this all time favorite camera of mine

    First try a complete reset if possible, I can't see it being the memory card but if you have a spare one try that.
    One cause could be the sensor or the display itself, I've had faulty ribbon cables  going to the display on TV sets causing similar problems.
    I take it they are in the same place on every shot.  What does a good photo show  up like, i.e., one prior to this fault showing? This would point to the sensor or display, since the photo was taken previous to the fault it 'would' eliminate the sensor as this is only used when taking photos and not when 'viewing'.
    Pity you couldn't post a sample as it *may* help.

  • How to draw vertical lines in SMART FORMS

    Hi Guys,
    Can anyone please let me know how to draw vertical and horizontal lines in smart forms, i have to do this in the secondary window.
    thanks,
    Ramesh

    Hi Ramesh,
    In the window output options you have option of check box to get lines.
    Then you need to give the spacing for vertical and horizontal.
    Another option is putting a template on window and getting the boxes, but it is quite little bit complex.
    Put the cursor on the WINDOW in which the lines you want.
    Right click on it>create>complex section.
    In that select the TEMPLATE radio button.
    Goto TAB TEMPLATE.
    Name: give some name of line.
    From: From coloumn.
    To: To coloumn
    Height: specify the height of the line.
    Next give the coloumn widths.
    Like this you can draw the vertical and horzontal lines.
    If the above option doesnot workout then u can try the below option also
    any how you can draw vertical and horizontal lines using Template and Table.
    for Template First define the Line and divide that into coloumns and goto select patterns and select the required pattern to get the vertical and horizontal lines.
    For table, you have to divide the total width of the table into required no.of columns and assign the select pattern to get the vertical and horizontal lines.
    if this helps, reward with points.
