#Remarks
The BrickStyle class encapsulates properties that control the appearance of report bricks. These properties specify: foreground, background and border colors for bricks, the font for text drawing, border side settings and text formatting information. The BrickGraphics.DefaultBrickStyle property accepts a BrickStyle instance as the default style for all bricks drawn via a specific BrickGraphics instance. Each setting defined via the BrickGraphics.DefaultBrickStyle property value can be overriden by the corresponding property of the drawn bricks. A style for a specific brick also can be assigned via the VisualBrick.Style property.
#Example
This example illustrates use of the BrickStyle class. The result of applying the style defined via the BrickStyle class instance is shown in the following picture:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
// ...
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
string s = "XtraPrinting Library";
BrickGraphics brickGraph = printingSystem1.Graph;
VisualBrick visBrick = new VisualBrick();
// Specify the style
BrickStyle bStyle = new BrickStyle(BorderSide.Bottom, 2, Color.Gold, Color.Navy,
Color.DodgerBlue, new DXFont("Arial", 14, DXFontStyle.Bold | DXFontStyle.Italic),
new BrickStringFormat(StringAlignment.Far, StringAlignment.Near));
// Start the report generation.
printingSystem1.Begin();
// Create bricks.
brickGraph.Modifier = BrickModifier.Detail;
visBrick = brickGraph.DrawString(s, new RectangleF(0, 0, 250, 40));
visBrick = brickGraph.DrawString(s, new RectangleF(0, 40, 250, 40));
// Apply the style to the current brick.
visBrick.Style = bStyle;
// Finish the report generation.
printingSystem1.End();
}
