The Tablecontrol is designed to arrange the report information in a tabular layout.
When the Table control is dropped onto a report's band from the Toolbox, it becomes a table of one row and three columns. If you click and drag over several bands, the resulting table will be split by the bands into several tables. This creates a table header in the header band and the table's body, with one mouse move.
The Table control bound to data is created automatically when you drag and drop a data table from the Field Listwindow.
You can manage a table's elements by using its Context Menu.
The Table control consists of the Table Rowcontrols, each representing one table row. The Table Row, in turn, consists of Table Cellcontrols, each representing one table cell. They can be selected and customized individually (see the appropriate topics).
To select the Table control in the Report Designer, use the Report Exploreror the drop-down selector of the Property Grid.
In the Property Grid, the Table control's properties are divided into the following groups.
