Cross-band Box

The Cross-band Box control is used to draw a rectangle through several bands.

This can be useful if it is required to visually emphasise a section that covers multiple band areas by surrounding it with a rectangle.

Reporting supports one more cross-band control. Refer to Cross-band Line.

In the Property Grid, the Cross-band Box control's properties are divided into the following groups:

Appearance

• Borders, Border Color and Border Width

  Specify border settings for the control.

• Formatting Rules

  Displays the Formatting Rules Editor used to choose which rules should be applied to the control during report generation, and define the precedence of the applied rules. for further information, refer to Conditionally Change a Control's Appearance.
