OnFormat Property (Section)

Gets or sets a string containing VBScript code to be executed before the Section is formatted.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property OnFormat As String

public string OnFormat {get; set;}

Remarks

This property contains VBScript instructions to be executed before the fields in the section are calculated. When this script is executed, the recordset already holds the data that will be displayed in the section, but the field values have not been updated yet.

Use this event to assign values to fields before they are calculated, so the new values will be taken into account when the control calculates the field's size and position when the Section.CanGrow or Section.CanShrink properties are set to true.

If you want to set field properties based on the field's current value, use the Section.OnPrint property instead.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
