Pageborder property doesn't work.. i guess it should show the page inside the viewer with a border/shadow around, but doesn't do anything. Using "singlepageview" mode. What's supposed to do ?
The shadow width is defined similarly to the solid border using the Weight property. By default the Weight is set very small to give a single pixel border. If you would like to see a more defined shadow, try altering the Weight property to a larger number such as 10 or 15 points.
For a future release I will see about automatically increasing the Weight when Shadow is enabled.
Dear Nico, i've tried setting weight 15, shadow, and visible=true, but nevertheless the report page is rendered inside the TppViewer without any visible border, and no shadow at all.
Below is a link to an example I created showing how to enable the page border shadow for the TppViewer and Preview. You will notice that the PageBorder property is defined the same for the TppViewer.PageBorder and Report.PreviewFormSettings.PageBorder properties.
Dear Nico, thanks for your time.. your support is, and has always been GREAT. Your sample works as expected, BUT unfortunately if you set TppViewer.SinglePageOnly:=true, the shadow disappears. Please take a look yourself.
The SinglePageOnly option is included for backward compatibility with older versions of ReportBuilder. New features such as Thumbnails and Page Borders are designed to function with he new Scrollable Viewer only.
We will consider adding Page Border support for SinglePageOnly for a later release of ReportBuilder however moving forward, we will only be adding new features to the new viewer.

Is there anything else to set or is it a bug?
