Describe the solution you'd like
I am thinking to change my CrystalReport to FastReport, Now I found a very big problem on the report design.
CsystalReport support shape over more then one area/band, it is very nice feature, when you do report design.
I can draw a retangle and serval lines very easy, But in FastReport，you can not, you must draw lines in very band, and you need spend much time to let each line align vertically, as the band more as difficult more.
You can use a "matrix" object to create such a table. I don't understand your question about lines. Could you describe it in more detail?
That's different, the matrix is limited in one band, and it only like the table.
If I want to draw a line form the top of Data band to the bottom of child 2, I need to draw 3 lines and it is not easy to aglign them vertically, as more lines and more bands, it became a heavy works.
Aligning lines vertically can be easy if you use the object inspector and set the values manually. Also, I would highly recommend using a TableObject for this purpose, and not a collection of lines.
