You can select from the following values:
Background Control is behind other controls. It is not restricted to
one band. This is useful for adding a watermark (such as the word
CONFIDENTIAL) to the background of a report.
Band Control is placed within one band. It cannot extend beyond
the band's border.
Foreground Control is in front of other controls. It is not restricted
to one band.
|
Moveable
|
When selected, control can be moved during
execution and in preview. This is useful for designing layout.
|
Resizable
|
When selected, control can be resized
during execution and in preview. This is useful for designing layout.
|
HideSnaked
|
When selected, control appears only in
the first column on the page; in subsequent columns the control
does not appear. This is only for newspaper columns, where the entire
DataWindow object snakes from column to column (set on the General
page of the Properties view).
