Default Properties
The following properties are associated with a report control when you add it to a report. You can edit the values, delete the properties, or add new properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
HTML.Link |
When you run the report with HTML output, the evaluated expression is included as an HREF attribute in an anchor tag for the control. |
HTML.Anchor |
When you run the report with HTML output, the evaluated expression is included as a name attribute in an anchor tag for the control. |
HTML.Alt-Title |
When you run the report with HTML output, the evaluated expression is included as a title attribute in a <div> element for the control. |
HTML.CSSClass.OverrideFRX |
When you run the report with HTML output, the ReportOutput application creates CSS classes with style definitions for each report element. If you set the HTML.CSSFile report property in the Document Properties Tab, Report Properties Dialog Box (Report Builder) of the Report Builder Properties dialog box to a CSS file, you can use the HTML.CSSClass.OverrideFRX property to specify a CSS class in that file. This replaces the style created by the Report Builder. |
HTML.CSSClass.ExtendFRX |
If you set the HTML.CSSFile report property to a CSS file, you can use this property to specify a class to add style characteristics to the style created by the Report Builder. |
HTML.PrintablePageLink |
On the HTML reports, the system creates a bitmap file for each page. This occurs when the printed bitmaps are a much closer representation to the original page than the HTML. Setting this to true on a control will turn the control into a hyperlink to the image. |
ListenerRef.NoRenderWhen |
When this expression evaluates to true (.T.), the printed page will not include the specified object. |
ListenerRef.Preprocess.NoRenderWhen |
When this expression evaluates to true (.T.), the printed page will not include the specified object during the first pass of a multiple pass report run. |
Object Rotation
The Object Rotation area enables you to rotate the report control from 0 to 360 degrees. The pivot point for the rotation is the upper left corner of the control. You can either click in the object rotation preview area to change the angle or use the Angle spinner to set the angle more explicitly.
