The properties of a line object are as follows. A line object can be inserted into a banded object only.
Property Name | Description |
---|---|
General | |
Display Name | Specifies the display name of the object.
Data type: String |
Instance Name | Shows the instance name of the object. This property is read only. |
Geometry | |
Bottom Attach Pos X | Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the bottom right point of the line in a banded panel. A line can cross panels and the coordinate indicates the relative position in the involved panel. Only horizontal lines and vertical lines are supported in Web Report Studio, so you need to ensure that the line you draw is horizontal or vertical.
Data type: Float |
Bottom Attach Pos Y | Specifies the vertical coordinate of the bottom right point of the line in a banded panel. A line can cross panels and the coordinate indicates the relative position in the involved panel. Only horizontal lines and vertical lines are supported in Web Report Studio, so you need to ensure that the line you draw is horizontal or vertical.
Data type: Float |
Top Attach Pos X | Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the top left point of the line in a banded panel. A line can cross panels and the coordinate indicates the relative position in the involved panel. Only horizontal lines and vertical lines are supported in Web Report Studio, so you need to ensure that the line you draw is horizontal or vertical.
Data type: Float |
Top Attach Pos Y | Specifies the vertical coordinate of the top left point of the line in a banded panel. A line can cross panels and the coordinate indicates the relative position in the involved panel. Only horizontal lines and vertical lines are supported in Web Report Studio, so you need to ensure that the line you draw is horizontal or vertical.
Data type: Float |
Others | |

Data type: Boolean |
Export to XML | Specifies whether to include the object in the XML result of the report.
Data type: Boolean |
Invisible | Specifies whether to show the object in the report. All formulas and calculations will still be performed.
Data type: Boolean |
Record Location | Specifies the calculation point for the properties which use formulas. Choose an option from the drop-down list.
Data type: Enumeration |
Suppress When No Records | Specifies whether to display the object in the report when no record is returned to its parent data component.
Data type: Boolean |
Excel | |
Bottom Attach Column | Specifies the X coordinate of the lower right corner of the object in the exported Excel file, measured in cells.
Data type: Float |
Bottom Attach Row | Specifies the Y coordinate of the lower right corner of the object in the exported Excel file, measured in cells.
Data type: Float |
Top Attach Column | Specifies the X coordinate of the upper left corner of the object in the exported Excel file, measured in cells.
Data type: Float |
Top Attach Row | Specifies the Y coordinate of the upper left corner of the object in the exported Excel file, measured in cells.
Data type: Float |
Line Property | |
Line Color | Specifies the color of the line. Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to customize a color. You can also enter a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color.
Data type: String |
Line Style | Specifies the style of the line. Choose an option from the drop-down list.
Data type: Enumeration |
Line Thickness | Specifies the thickness of the line. Enter a numeric value to change the thickness.
Data type: Float |
The four properties work together to control the position of a line in the exported Excel file. They take effect when the Columned property at the web report level is set to true.
The first pair of the properties (Top Attach Column, Top Attach Row) locates a cell and uses its upper left corner as the upper left corner of the line, while the second pair (Bottom Attach Column, Bottom Attach Row) locates another cell and uses its upper left corner as the lower right corner of the line.
For example, if the properties for an oval are set as:
Top Attach Column: 1, Top Attach Row: 2, Bottom Attach Column: 3, Bottom Attach Row: 4
Then, the upper left cell will be A2 and the lower right cell will be C4.
Note: The value you set for the Top Attach Column (Top Attach Row) property should be always larger than that for the Bottom Attach Column (Bottom Attach Row) property.
