Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Style

[Jasper]

Hi,

I'm trying to find out how to style a report programatically. Thought it would be a good idea to create an object of type Style, setting all the values, passing the style object to the report and simply set <reportItem>.Style = <myStyleObject>. Unfortunately the constructor of Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Style is not exposed. and the style-property has no setter.

Are there any workarounds for setting the style property programatically (I know that I can set individual properties, but that is not want I am looking for)?

Kind Regards

Create the style through the report designer and then review the generated code in InitializeComponent. At least this is what I do as I find it much easier than drilling down the API reference. The documentation also contains articles about the built-in styling of TL, so you might give it a go: http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/style-overview.html

Hi Massimiliano, thanks for your reply.

The designer just sets every style property individual (eg. Style.Font.Bold =...), no problem to do this by myself, but its not good style to set any property one by one. I've already checked the documentation and the link you posted but it does not help me setting the report item style in a nifty way.


Kind Regards

Hello Jasper,

Style definitions can be stored in a Style Rule. Style Rules can be created in the designer or in code as shown in the following code snippet.

Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.StyleRule styleRule1 = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.StyleRule();

styleRule1.Selectors.AddRange(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.ISelector[] {

new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.StyleSelector("MyStyle")});

styleRule1.Style.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

styleRule1.Style.BorderStyle.Default = Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.BorderType.Solid;

this.StyleSheet.AddRange(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.StyleRule[] {

styleRule1});

this.textBox1.StyleName = "MyStyle";
this.textBox2.StyleName = "MyStyle";


For more information on the topic check out the Creating Style Rules help article.

Best wishes,
