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;
}
