Frame behaviour question

Hello

I drop TFrxShapeView of type rectangle on a band and then
I set the Frame.Typ to [ftTop, ftRight, ftLeft] because I want only those 3 sides.
When I run the report all the 4 sides appears.

Do I miss something?

    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?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
