Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v23.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core
Declaration
[SRCategory(ReportStringId.CatAppearance)]
public virtual BorderSide Borders { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| BorderSide | A BorderSide enumeration value or combination of values, specifying a set of visible borders. |
Available values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| None | No borders are applied to a brick. |
| Left | Applies the left border to a brick. |
| Top | Applies the top border to a brick. |
| Right | Applies the right border to a brick. |
| Bottom | Applies the bottom border to a brick. |
| All | Applies all borders to a brick. |
Remarks
The Borders property specifies which borders of the control should be visible, while the border color is specified by the XRControl.BorderColor property, and its width is specified by the XRControl.BorderWidth property. Note that if the XRControl.BorderWidth property is set to 0, the control’s borders become invisible.
Appearance properties specified for bands or panels propagate to child controls, even though they may not take effect for some report elements. An obvious example of this behavior is the DetailBand element, that has no visible border or background color, even though it passes appearance property settings to its child controls. Another example is the XRPageBreak control, that has the XRControl.BackColor property, but ignores its value during rendering.
Review the following help topic for more information: Appearance Properties.
If a report element has a style assigned to it, the priority of the properties defined by that style is determined by the StylePriority property. Note that if conditional formatting is involved, the appearance it defines has a higher priority.
Note
The Borders property is used only by some descendants of the XRControl class. For example, the XRPageBreak class ignores the Borders property.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to create an XRControl object and set some of its properties at runtime.
using System.Drawing;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...
public XRControl CreateMyXRControl() {
// Create a control.
XRControl xrControl1 = new XRControl();
// Set its background color.
xrControl1.BackColor = Color.LightGray;
// Set its border color.
xrControl1.BorderColor = Color.Blue;
// Make its left and right borders visible.
xrControl1.Borders = DevExpress.XtraPrinting.BorderSide.Left |
DevExpress.XtraPrinting.BorderSide.Right;
// Set its border width (in pixels).
xrControl1.BorderWidth = 10;
// Set its location and size (in hundredths of an inch).
xrControl1.LocationF = new PointF(200F, 100F);
xrControl1.SizeF = new SizeF(300F, 150F);
return xrControl1;
}
