Every report object has this property. This property is accessible only in the "Properties" window. An object, whose "ShiftMode" property is enabled, will be moving up and down, if the object above on can either grow or shrink.
The "ShiftMode" property can have one of the following values:
| • | Always (by default). Meaning that the object needs to shift always. |
| • | Never. Implies that the object does not need to shift. |
| • | WhenOverlapped. Implies that the object needs to shift in that case, if the expanding object is located exactly over it (that is, both objects overlap horizontally). |
This property is convenient to use when printing information in a table form, when several cells of the table are located on top of each other and can have a variable amount of text.
