To highlight report controls that extend beyond the right margin of the page, enable the ShowPrintingWarnings property. Hover over the report design area to display a tooltip with control names. You can resize these controls to keep them within the page borders and avoid printing unnecessary pages.

For more information, review the following help topic: Validate the Report Layout.

Note

The DesignerOptions settings are not available in Report Designer for Web.

The following code snippet hides tooltips that warn a user about controls that extend beyond the field boundaries, and disables red highlighting for such controls:

C#

public partial class TestReport : DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.XtraReport {
    public TestReport() {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.DesignerOptions.ShowPrintingWarnings = false;
    }
}

VB.NET

Public Class TestReport

    Public Sub New()
        Me.DesignerOptions.ShowPrintingWarnings = False
    End Sub
End Class
