Link the Shape Fill Color to a Data source Field

Youssef Salame

Hi, I would like to set the back color of a Shape object (Rounded rectangle) to a data source field (coming from my database). How?

ipong

use script, event = beforeprint, look at documentation, how to get value from data source.

watch out, solidfill must be created for each datarow.

// <ShapeObject Name="Shape1" Left="56.7" Top="434.7" Width="94.5" Height="94.5" Border.Width="2" Fill.Color="LightCoral" />
FastReport.ShapeObject Shape1 = new FastReport.ShapeObject();
Shape1.Name = "Shape1";
Shape1.Left = FastReport.Utils.Units.Centimeters * 1.5f;
Shape1.Top = FastReport.Utils.Units.Centimeters * 11.5f;
Shape1.Width = FastReport.Utils.Units.Centimeters * 2.5f;
Shape1.Height = FastReport.Utils.Units.Centimeters * 2.5f;
Shape1.Border.Width = 2f;

FastReport.SolidFill fill4 = new FastReport.SolidFill();
Shape1.Fill = fill4;
fill4.Color = Color.LightCoral;
Shape1.Parent = Data1;
