How get computed field’s value from no detail band

[Yu2k]

How get computed field’s value in the script if it locate in no detail band. In PB help - «When you refer to an control in a band other than the detail band (usually a computed field) you still specify a row number. For the header, footer, or summary, specify a row number of 1.» But this not work. PB 8.0 in me.

getitemnumber(1, "computedfieldname&quot does not work?
can you post an export of your dw?
sounds strange to me... --

To 51m0n: computed field's definition from dw - compute(band=header expression="~"Page ~" + page()" name=compute_page ... ).
I get tips. Correct work this expression: dw_1.getitemstring(dw_1.GetRow(), "compute_page&quot. But it not work in case Print.Preview = "yes"

 

[51m0n]

did you try dw_1.getitemstring(1, "compute_page&quot? getrow() may return something different from 1 in report view.
also try dw_1.getitemnumber(1, "compute_page&quot. --

To Simon: dw_1.getitemstring(1, "compute_page&quot for each page return 'Page 1'. I don't see logic in GetRow() too. But this work correctly.
Repeat: my PB version is 8.0. Possible in previous versions this work in another way.
