If you have a TppDBText object in a band with the WordWrap and AutoSize both checked and, if the band the object is placed on has it's PrintHeight property set to phDynamic, this property (ShiftWithParent) will control whether this object will print in the same relative location as you have it designed.
For example, if you have a TppDBText object designed as a single line on the report form, and, another TppDBText object follows it, directly underneath. Two possibilities could occur:
1. If the ShiftWithParent property is not checked for the second TppDBText then it will print over the previous object.
2. If the ShiftWithParent property is checked the second object will print directly under the first as you expected.
The default value is unchecked.
