Line function in reports

[sjvc]

Hello. First of all, sorry for my english (i'm spanish)

I'm trying to get coloured columns in a report, so i'm using line function to draw filled rectangles in report_page() event.

These rectangles must be behind text to simulate coloured columns, but result is that text is behind rectangles and no text is visible, only coloured rectangles.

Do you know how can I put line drawings behind text?

Thanks!

Can you simply set the text box's background color. Then it will appear as though it was a column thing... Make sense?

Thanks KenHigg, but if I do that, when report has only 2 rows for example, will only be coloured 2 rows of the report, and I want to get coloured the entire column.

That's strange there is no order function like on MS Word. However, if you draw the colored box first and then add the other textboxes they will be on top of the colored box. I tried cut and it pasted them in front of the colored box. Then make all your text fields borderstyle = transparent.

Try to set the picture property of the report with a picture which you design as per your need. Also set the Picture size mode property to stretch if required
