Hello,
I've been using the product for an year in my company, and I'm able to create magnificent documents. But I'm frustrated by some options missing.I can't find a suggestion form, I'm posting it on this forum.
Suggestion 1:
Padding option for panels. Because when the CanGrow box is checked, it shrinks the panel as close as possible to its content, whereas I'd like it to stop 5 mm from this content.
Suggestion 2:
I haven't found an option that allows my band or panel to take up the remaining space. The fill option is limited to the size of the databand.
Suggestion 3:
It would be cool to have a notion of heritage in style . i create default police style, and after , i create accent police style inherited of default police style
Where can I suggest some ideas for development to calm my frustration?

Try to place your components on the DataBand.

Could you explain your issues in more detail?
Thank you.

Sorry for my late reply. It seems you misunderstood me. I'll try to illustrate better. I'm also mistaken. I'm talking about the CanShrink checkbox, not CanGrow.Lech Kulikowski wrote: ↑Fri Apr 04, 2025 7:27 pm Hello,

Here's a clear example:
All the elements in this example have the CanShrink checkbox checked. Here's the result: This is the result I want. Here I'm using my technique to simulate padding. For my second point, I'm talking about the DockStyle "Fill" option:
I thought the area would shrink based on the other components that also have the DockStyle option (Top and Left), but that's not the case.
Regarding the Style, I'm talking about if I modify a parameter of the parent component; all inherited styles also have the change. For example:
Default Style Font -> Bold Font -> Title
If I modify Default Font, then Bold Font changes as well as Title.
