ReportItems properties

  • I would like to know all of the ReportItems properties that I can use in an expression. According to Books Online there is only 1: .Value. However, I have seen various postings refering to others such as .Color or .Hidden. Are there others and if so where can I find the list?

    Thanks and regards.

  • I think you can set these other properties using expressions but you can't refer to them using expressions.  A quick check using tables and the textboxes within them looks like a ReportItem can't even reference it's own color property - which would be in line with BOL saying that the only available property is Value.

  • Steve,

    Thank you for your reply. I have set various properties by entering an expression within the property. I have not tried to set a property via a ReportItems property. That is an interesting idea that I will explore.

    It is unfortunate, though, that we cannot reference the various properties of a textbox. Within the XML code, there is no fundamental difference between the Value property and, say, the Color property. Maybe in some future version...

    Regards
