Property

Description

AllowExpressions

This property allows to turn on or off the expression handling. It is on by default.

Angle

This property indicates the text rotation, in degrees.

AutoShrink

This property allows to shrink the font size or font width automatically to fit the text.

AutoShrinkMinSize

This property determines the minimum size of a font, or the minimum font width ratio, if the AutoShrink property is used.

AutoWidth

This property allows to calculate the width of object automatically.

Brackets

This property contains a pair of symbols that designate an expression.

BreakTo

With this property you can organize the text flow from one text object to another. For example, we have "A" and "B" text objects. The "A" object contains the long text that does not fit in the object's bounds. You can set the A.BreakTo to B, so the "B" object will display the part of text that does not fit in "A".

Clip

This property determines whether it is necessary to clip a text outside of object's bounds. It is on by default.

Duplicates

This property determines how the repeated values will be printed. Read more about this property in the "Formatting" chapter.

FirstTabOffset

This property determines the offset of the first TAB symbol, in pixels.

FontWidthRatio

Use this property to make the font wider or narrower. By default the property is set to 1. To make the font wider, set the property to value > 1. To make the font narrower, set the property to value between 0 and 1.

HideValue

This property is of string type. It allows to hide values that are equal to the value of this property. Read more about this property in the "Formatting" chapter.

HideZeros

This property allows to hide zero values. Read more about this property in the "Formatting" chapter.

Highlight

This property allows to setup the conditional highlight. Read more about this in the "Formatting" chapter.

HorzAlign, VertAlign

These properties determine the text alignment.

HtmlTags

Allows simple HTML tags in the object's text. Read more about this property in the "HTML tags" chapter.

LineHeight

This property allows to explicitly set the height of a text line. By default it is set to 0, so the default line spacing is used.

NullValue

The text that will be printed instead of a null value. You also need to uncheck the "Convert null values" option in the "Report/Options..." menu.

Padding

This property allows to setup the padding, in pixels.

RightToLeft

This property indicates whether the text should be displayed in right-to-left order.

TabWidth

This property determines the width of the TAB symbol, in pixels.

Trimming

This property determines how to trim the text that does not fit inside the object's bounds. It is used only if the "WordWrap" property is set to false.

Underlines

This property allows to display a graphical line after each text line. This property can be used only if the text is top-aligned.

WordWrap

This property determines whether it is necessary to wrap a text by words.

Wysiwyg

This property changes the display mode of the "Text" object to match the screen and the final printout. This mode is also used if you use the justify-align or non-standard line height.
