Report Control Properties Dialog Box (Report Builder)
Makes it possible for you to set options for report controls on your report layout.
This dialog box appears when you choose Properties from the context menu of a report control, or when you double-click a report control.
Note
This dialog box is only displayed if the _REPORTBUILDER system variable is set to the default Report Builder application. If it is empty, or has been set to a third-party report builder, the native Visual FoxPro dialog box (or a third-party dialog box) may appear. For more information, see _REPORTBUILDER System Variable.
