Remarks

To set the properties for a specific border, use TopBorder Element (RDL), BottomBorder Element (RDL), LeftBorder Element (RDL), or RightBorder Element (RDL). For borders that share the same location, the following rules apply:

• If one report item is contained by another report item, the container report item borders are used.
• If two report items are peers, the ZIndex property controls which border is drawn last. If the ZIndex property is identical, the rightmost border for vertical borders and the bottommost border for horizontal borders is drawn last.
