This dialog lets you edit the properties of the page FOOTER. To specify an element to compose at the end of each report page, place it in the page FOOTER.

Though they print on the page at the same time, the print engine composes the page HEADER before the page DETAIL, or FOOTER. The page FOOTER is a good place for page numbers, page totals, etc.

Color

Enter a valid color equate in the TextColor or BackGround fields, or press the ellipsis (…) button to select a color from the Color dialog. The Report Designer adds the COLOR attribute to your header declaration.

See ..\LIBSRC\EQUATES.CLW for a list of valid color equates. See Windows Design Issues in the User's Guide for a discussion on using color to enhance your application.

Design

Locked “Freezes” all the controls on the band so that subsequent data dictionary changes are not applied. You can override the #Freeze attribute for all controls or for individual controls. See Application Options.

Extra
