Zip Code

The Zip Code control transforms its content into a zip code. The width of a zip code's segment is adjustable.

In the Property Grid , the Zip Code's properties are divided into the following groups.

• Background Color
  

  Specifies the background color for the control. This option is also available in the Formatting Toolbar  ().

• Borders, Border Color and Border Width
  

  Specify border settings for the control.

• Foreground Color
  

  Specifies the color for the control. 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. 

• Padding
  

  Specifies indent values which are used to render the contents of the control.

• 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 control, as well as to assign an existing style to the control (or a newly created one). 
  

• Anchor Vertically
  

  Specifies the vertical anchoring style of the control, so that after page rendering it stays attached to the top control, bottom control, or both.

• Keep Together
  

  Specifies whether the contents of the control can be horizontally split across pages. In other words, if the control occupies more space than remains on the page, this property specifies whether this Zip Code should be split between the current page and the next, or whether it will be printed entirely on the next page. This property is in effect only when a Zip Code's content does not fit on the current page. If it does not fit on the next page either, then the Zip Code will be split despite this property's value.

• Scripts
  

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

• Segment Width
  

  This property setting specifies the width of the lines (in pixels) used to draw the numbers in the zip boxes of the control.

• Visible
  

  Specifies whether the control should be visible in print preview.

• (Data Bindings)
  

  If the current report is bound to data, this property allows you to bind some of the control's properties (Bookmark, Navigation URL, Tag and Text) to a data field obtained from the report's data source, and to apply a format string to it. For more information on this, refer to Display Values from a Database (Bind Report Elements to Data).
  

• Tag
  

  This property allows you to add some additional information to the control; for example its id, by which it can be then accessible via scripts.
  
  
  If the current report has a data source, the Tag property can be bound to a data field obtained from the data source. To do this, expand the (Data Bindings) property, and in the Tag.Binding drop-down selector, select the required data field.
  

• Text
  

  The Text box should contain digits or dashes. Other characters are displayed as empty zip boxes.

  If the current report has a data source, the Text property can be bound to a data field obtained from the data source. To do this, expand the (Data Bindings) property, and in the Text.Binding drop-down selector, select the required data field. For more information on this, refer to Display Values from a Database (Bind Report Elements to Data).
  

• (Name)
  

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

• Location
  

  Specifies the control's location, in report measurement units.
  

• Size
  

  Specifies the control's size, in report measurement units.
  

• Snap Line Margin
  

  Specifies the margin (in report measurement units), which is to be preserved around the control when it is aligned using Snap Lines, or when other controls are aligned next to it.
