How To…Start a Left to Right Column on a New Row

Question

“How can I force each group to start at the beginning of a new row when using left-to-right columns?”

Solution

Inside the GroupFooter.AfterGenerate event, set the TppEngine.CurrentColumn property to -1. This will force the next column printed to be the 0 (first) position.
