Toolbars

The toolbars in ActiveReports can be easily customized. ActiveReports' toolbars allow developers to rearrange buttons and menu options, as well as hide, display, dock or float toolbars.

To access a toolbar's context menu

Right-click anywhere in the toolbar area

The context menu allows you to show or hide toolbars by selecting the toolbar name from the menu. In addition, you can customize the toolbars or create a new toolbar from the customize option on the menu.

The ActiveReports toolbar is made up of the following components:

Report Explorer--Shows or hides the report explorer tree and the fields list
Style Sheets--Sets the style sheet for a control

Align Left--Aligns the text left in the control area
Align Center--Aligns the text centered in the control area
Align Right--Aligns the text right in the control area
Justify--Justifies the text in the control area
Bullets--Adds bullets to the text in the RichText control area
Decrease Indent--Decreases the indent of the text in the RichText control area

NOTE: Users of ActiveReports for .NET 1.0 may notice that the script editor icon is no longer on the toolbar. Below the report designer you will find two tabs. The one on the left is for the Script view, and the one on the right is for the Design view.
