Because there are two different band heights:
1) bandHeight
2) totalBandHeight
bandHeight is either fixed with a static height in the rfxml ('1.5 in', for
example)
or computed dynamically based on the height of items in the band (band height
of None
in the rfxml).
But for growable items (ie paragraphs) the bandHeight computed per the above
only
accounts for the amount needed for the first line.
totalBandHeight accounts for the entire amount of the growable objects.
We use bandHeight for positioning objects. This allows for the common case of
wanting
things to start at a fixed point somewhere. Picture a horizontal layout with
strings
and a paragraph. If we computed the position based on the dynamic
totalBandHeight, we
couldn't predict where the objects would end up.
Perhaps we are missing VFP's 'fix object relative to top|bottom of band'.
Or, could you come up with a general definition of "below the frameset"?
