  what version are you using ok for me 4.15.4
  you may have to set the frame line widths larger and may be colour to see the diff

  My version is 4.13.7
  Why the widths and colour is imporntant?
  Isn't the typ properties suppose to print or not print the sides of a rectangle?

  the frame typ just turns them on or off
  experience
  vertical frame liness need more than 2 pixels for better appearance when printing.
  deepending on color of shape you may need to set a diff color for frames.

  Thanks
  Yes I try to change the color but it has no impact.
  The typ doesn't turn them on or off. All the 4 lines remain on.

  we both missed something
  the shape view can only have the frame style and color set and the fill color.
  makes sense if you broke the frame the fill would bleed out.

  Thanks but definetly we missed something
  My problem is not the style or the color.
  
  I drop a TfrxShapeView with the shape skRectangle and I set the
  Frame.Typ propierties to [ftTop, ftRight, ftLeft] because I don't want to print
  the bottom line. Still when I print the report all the sides including the
  bottom line is printed?

  you cannot control the individual lines of the frame only the entire frame.
  you can see this in the designer if you have your tool bars turned on you should notice that when
  you select the shape the individual frame line choices are disabled.
  BTW if you are only using skrectangle just use an empty memoview then you can work the with the lines.

  Yes I figure that my solution is to use the memoView
  but just for curiosity what is the usage of the typ property on shapeView component?
