Page Margin Bands


The Top Margin and Bottom Margin bands represent the top and bottom page margins. Unlike other bands, they are not accompanied by strips displaying their titles in the Design Panel .

They are intended for displaying page numbers, or some sort of supplementary information (e.g. current system time or the user name).

In the Property Grid , the properties of these bands are divided into the following groups.

Appearance

  • Background Color

    Specifies the background color for the controls contained within the band. This option is also available in the Formatting Toolbar  ().

  • BordersBorder Color and Border Width

    Specify border settings for the controls contained within the band.

  • Font

    Specifies the font settings for the controls contained within the band. Some of these settings are available in the Formatting Toolbar.

  • Foreground Color

    Specifies the text color for the controls contained within the band. 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 band during report generation, and define the precedence of the applied rules. 

  • Padding

    Specifies indent values which are used to render the contents of the the controls contained within the bands.

  • Style Priority

    Allows you to define the priority of various style elements (such as background color, border color, etc.). 

  • Styles

    This property allows you to define odd and even styles for the controls contained within the bands, as well as to assign an existing style to them (or a newly created one).

  • Text Alignment

    Allows you to change the text alignment of the controls contained within the bands. This option is also available in the Formatting Toolbar.

Behavior

  • Scripts

    This property contains events, which you can handle with the required scripts. 

  • Visible

    Specifies whether the band should be visible in print preview.

Data

  • Tag

    This property allows you to add some additional information to the band; for example its id, by which it can then be accessible via scripts.

Design

  • (Name)

    Determines a band's name, by which it can be accessed in the Report Explorer, Property Grid or via scripts.

Layout

  • Height

    Specifies the band's height, in report units.

    NoteNote

    Note that this property is tied to the report's Margins.Top (or Margins.Bottom) property, so that changing this property's value will cause the appropriate Margin value to be changed, and vice versa.

  • Snap Line Padding

    Specifies the padding (in report measurement units), which is to be preserved within the band when controls it contains are aligned using Snap Lines.
