public class Style

Remarks

The Style class encapsulates the properties that control the appearance of a control and can be applied to multiple controls to provide a common appearance.

Style properties can be cascaded using inheritance. When creating a new style you can set the values of unset properties to inherit from a parent style. For example, if you have a style named "Normal", you can create a new style named "NormalBold" and set only the Parent property to "Normal" and the FontBold property to true. The remaining properties will be set the same as the parent style.

ActiveReports has a set of built-in styles that are defined in the StyleSheet class.

Example

[C#]

private void rptDataDynamics_ReportStart(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs) 
{ 
    this.StyleSheet.Add("MyStyle"); 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].Alignment = TextAlignment.Center; 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White; 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].FontBold = true; 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].FontItalic = false; 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].FontName = "Arial"; 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].FontSize = null; 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].FontStrikeThrough = false; 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].FontUnderline = false; 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.YellowGreen; 
    Console.WriteLine(this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].Name.ToString()); 
    Console.WriteLine(this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].Value.ToString()); 
    this.StyleSheet["MyStyle"].VerticalAlignment = VerticalTextAlignment.Middle; 
 
    Label1.ClassName = "MyStyle"; 
 
    if (this.StyleSheet.Count > 10) 
    { 
        this.StyleSheet.Remove("MyStyle"); 
    } 
}

[Visual Basic]

   Me.StyleSheet.Add("MyStyle")

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").Alignment = TextAlignment.Center

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").FontBold = True

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").FontItalic = False

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").FontName = "Arial"

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").FontSize = Nothing

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").FontStrikeThrough = False

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").FontUnderline = False

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.YellowGreen

   Console.WriteLine(Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").Name.ToString())

   Console.WriteLine(Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").Value.ToString())

   Me.StyleSheet("MyStyle").VerticalAlignment = VerticalTextAlignment.Middle



   Label1.ClassName = "MyStyle"



   If Me.StyleSheet.Count > 10 Then
