Band properties

Every band has several useful properties, which affect the printing process. To view the properties of the band, you need to select it with the mouse on the report page, and open the Properties window with the icon on the side bar.

Property	Description
CanGrow, CanShrink	These properties determine whether a band can grow or shrink depending on the size of the objects contained in the band. If both properties are disabled, the band will always have the size specified in the designer.
CanBreak	If the property is enabled, FastReport tries to print a part of the band’s contents on the available space, that is, "break" the band.
StartNewPage	Printing a band with such property begins on a new page. This property is usually used when printing groups; that is, every group is printed on a new page.
PrintOnBottom	A band with this property is printed at the bottom of the page, before the "Page Footer" band .This can be useful when printing certain documents, where the total sum is supposed to be printed at the bottom of the page.
RepeatOnEveryPage	The bands - "Data Header", "Data Footer", "Group Header" and "Group Footer" - have got this property. This type of band will be printed on each new page, when data printing is being done.
