Thinner shape lines

rbuser

I would like to draw shapes with lines as thin as ReportBuilder uses in its
Cross Tab component so that I can make non-cross tab reports and cross tab
reports with the same look and feel. However, the minimum thickness of a
shape is 1, and that value results in a thicker line than the cross tab
reports have.

Thanks,

kevin

You can create a custom component the either descends from TppLine or
TppCustomGraphic. Lines are rendered as this rectangles. If you descend from
TppLine then you should only have to override the PaintDesignControl and
PropertiesToDrawCommand methods to render the thinner line. You also have a
few options for selecting the thickness. You can still select the thickness
as usual but implement the rendering to render only have the specified
height. You can also override CreatePopupMenu and add your own selections
for choosing line thickness.
