Example 1: creating a gray bar effect
The following DataWindow object shows alternate rows with a light gray bar.
The gray bars make it easier to track data values across the row:
To create the gray bar effect:
1 Add a rectangle control to the detail band and size it so that it surrounds
the controls you want highlighted.
To make sure that you have selected the detail band, select the Position tab
in the Properties view and select Band from the Layer drop-down list.
2 To make it easier to see what you are doing in the Design view, select the
General tab and set the Brush Color to White and the Pen Color to Black.
A narrow black line forms a boundary around the rectangle.
3 Select Send to Back from the rectangle’s pop-up menu.
4 To hide the border of the rectangle, set the Pen Style to No Visible Line.
