Cross-band Line

A Cross-band Line control is used to draw a line through several bands.

The control can be useful if it is required to visually emphasize a part of a report that covers multiple band areas. In other aspects, the control is similar to the Line control.

On the Properties window, the Cross-band Line control properties are divided into the following tabs:

Appearance

End Band

Specifies the band in which the line ends.

End Point

Specifies the end point of the line (measured from the upper left corner of the band specified by the End Band property).

Foreground Color

Specifies the text color for the control. The functionality is also available on the Report Designer tab ().

Line Style

Specifies the style of the line, for example, solid or dashed.

Start Band

Specifies the band in which the line starts.

Start Point

Specifies the start point of the line (measured from the upper left corner of the band specified by the Start Band property).

Width

Specifies the line width in report measurement units.

Behavior

Anchor Horizontally

Specifies the horizontal anchoring style of the control, so that after page rendering it stays attached to the left control, right control, or both. The property setting is useful for data-bound controls located between controls, which are able to resize depending on their contents.

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. The property setting is useful for data-bound controls located between upper and lower controls, which are able to resize depending on their contents.

Can Publish

Specifies whether or not the control can be printed or exported.

Visible

Specifies whether the control is visible when using the print preview.

Data

Tag

Adds additional information to a report, for example, the id, by which the report can then be accessible via scripts.

Miscellaneous

Determines the name of the control, by which it can be accessed in the Report Explorer, Properties window or via scripts.

Snap Line Margins

Specifies the margins for the control, which are maintained when the control is aligned using snap lines.
