Cross-band Line


The Cross-band Line control allows you to draw a line through several bands. This can be useful if it is required to visually emphasize a section consisting of multiple band areas. In other aspects, it is similar to a regular Line .

Another cross-band control available is the Cross-band Box .

In the Property Grid , the Cross-band Line control's properties are divided into the following groups.

  • Foreground Color

    Specifies the color of the control's line. This option is also available in the Formatting Toolbar  ().

  • Formatting Rules

    Invokes the Formatting Rules Editor allowing you to choose which rules should be applied to the control during report generation, and define the precedence of the applied rules. 

  • Line Style

    You can select a solid (by default), dashed, dotted or mixed style for the line.

Behavior

  • Anchor Vertically
