Report Designer 268 Understand Styles Concepts This document describes how you can provide a professional look to your reports, by effectively adjusting the appearance of its elements. This document consists of the following sections. The Appearance Properties Styles Priority and Inheritance The Appearance Properties In the Report Designer, a report and each of its elements (bands and controls) has a complete set of appearance options (such as Background Color, Borders, Font, Foreground Color, Text Alignment, etc.). By default, these properties aren't specified, meaning that their real values are obtained from a control's (or band's) paren t, which is the report itself. So, the appearance, specified for a report, is distributed to all its child elements. Similarly, the appearance of a band is translated to the controls it contains. In turn, a control's appearance can be adjusted independently from its parent. © 2011 DevExpress Inc. 268
