Table Row

The Table Row control represents a single row within a table.

This control is used for changing the layout of an entire row. Although in this document, a table row is described as a separate control, most of its properties are actually applied to the cells contained within the selected row.

In the Property Grid, the Table Row control's properties are divided into the following groups:

Appearance

• Background Color – Specifies the background colour for the controls contained within the band. This option is also available on the Formatting Toolbar ().

• Borders, Border Color and Border Width – Specifies border settings for controls.

• Font – Specifies the font settings for the controls contained within the band. Some of these settings are available on the Formatting Toolbar.

• Foreground Color – Specifies the text colour for the controls contained within the band. This option is also available on the Formatting Toolbar ().

Formatting Rules – Displays the Formatting Rules Editor which enables you to choose which rules should be applied to the band during report generation, and define the precedence of the applied rules. For further information, refer to Conditionally Change a Control's Appearance.

• Padding – Specifies indent values used to render the contents of the controls.

• Style Priority – Defines the priority of various styles (for example, background colour or border colour). For further information on style inheritance, refer to Styles Concepts.

• Styles – Defines odd and even styles for the controls, as well as assigning an existing style to the them (or a newly created one). For further information on style inheritance, refer to Styles Concepts.

• Text Alignment – Used to change the alignment of the control's text. This option is also available on the Formatting Toolbar.

Behavior

• Keep Together – Specifies whether the contents of the band can be horizontally split across pages. Reporting attempts to keep band entries on a single page. In general, if the contents are too large to fit on a single page, then the band is started on a new page, and continues on the following page.

  If a control does not fit on the next page either, then the control will be split despite this property's value.

• Scripts – Contains events which can be handled with scripts. For further information on scripting, refer to Handle Events via Scripts.

• Visible – Specifies whether the band 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.

  If the current report has a data source, the Tag property can be bound to a data field obtained from the data source. To do this, expand the (Data Bindings) property and from the Tag.Binding dropdown list, select the required data field.

Design

• (Name) – Determines a control's name, by which it can be accessed in the Report Explorer, the Property Grid and via scripts.

Layout

• Location – Specifies the location of the control in report measurement units.

• Size – Specifies the size of the control in report measurement units.
