Text field: brush color (background color)

[Fabio Pagano]

I was wondering why the default background color of a field is "10% Gray". Couldn't it be white or transparent? May i change this default when i invoke (by code) the designer?

Thanks.

The default background color of the textbox is that you choose the last time. So set the color what you want and it must been saved as the default color.

Thank you.

Don't know if i'm missing something, but i have created a text field, i've setted the brush "Empty", closed, reopened, created a new text field but the brush always defaulted to "Solid" instead of the last choosen "Empty".

Please use the following property to avoid the behavior which was described above:

Code: Select all

report.Info.UseLastFormat = false;

Thank you.

Sorry but didn't solve, this is the code:

Code: Select all

Dim rpt As New Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport

        rpt.Info.UseLastFormat = False

        rpt.Design()

I've also tried

Code: Select all

        rpt.Info.UseLastFormat = True

with no success.

When i draw a text field, it is created with the default brush "Solid". I change to "Transparent". Then if i draw another text field, the brush is "Solid" and not the last one used ("Transparent"). Using build of 23 august.

Thanks.

in that case please put this lines in the start of your Application:

Code: Select all

            StiSettings.Load();
            StiSettings.Set("StiDesigner", "UseLastFormat", false);
            StiSettings.Save();            

Thank you.
