// ===========================================================================
// LumasReport example 18 -- Professional FRAMED invoice
// C++ ActiveX (COM) port of examples/delphi/reporting/18_invoice_pro.dpr
//
// A polished, print-ready invoice built entirely from the report engine's
// banded model + the SECTION-BOUNDED line feature (scope="section"):
//
// * reportheader .... company / INVOICE title / bill-to, closed by section
// H rules (top hairline + bottom heavy navy rule)
// * pageheader ...... navy caption bar; the table's top border + the FIVE
// vertical column dividers start here (scope="section")
// * detail .......... one row per line-item; the same 5 vertical dividers
// span each row, so stacked they form ONE continuous
// column grid, closed per row by a hairline bottom rule
// * summary ......... totals panel framed by a section box (H top/bottom +
// V left/right), grand total emphasised
// * pagefooter ...... section H top rule + thank-you + page x of y
//
// Every frame line is a scope="section" line: horizontal rules auto-span the
// band WIDTH, vertical rules auto-span the band HEIGHT -- no coordinates to
// chase. Money columns are right-aligned; totals use inline SUM(Qty*Price).
// Exports to PDF / HTML / SVG / TEXT + native CSV / XLSX / XLS.
//
// The address separators are the two literal bytes "\xC2\xB7", not a 'ยท'
// character. The .dpr has no BOM, so Delphi reads its UTF-8 source bytes as
// ANSI and passes C2 B7 straight through -- the reference output holds exactly
// those two bytes. Writing the character instead would go through _bstr_t's
// CP_ACP conversion and land somewhere else entirely (on this machine, where
// the ANSI codepage IS UTF-8, a lone B7 is invalid and became U+FFFD).
