PB 8.0 grid Datawindow and 3D Raised/Lowered borders
|

| Hello!
I am using PB 8.0 to create a grid report. The Heading band has
text items that are all set for a 3D Raised border (6). The coulmns
are all 3D lowered (5).
The problem is that there is either a white line in between some of
the heading items, or a black line inbetween them. It is not
consistent in how these differnt lines appear inbetween the headings.
It seems trivial to worry about this, but unfortunately from a UI
point of view it does not look good, and my supervisor has pointed it
out to me. I have compared this particular report with other exisitng
reports that have the same border types described above and they all
have a white line inbetween each one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Peter Vasseur

| Peter,
I don't have an answer to your particular question, but it's always
helpful to examine the source of the datawindow/report in question and
compare the differences to the "good" report.
best of luck

| Hello,
I figured out what was wrong. Actually it was another developer on
my team who told me what to do :-)
To fix the problem I described yesterday, the 3D raised Coulmn text
headings needed to have their Bring to Front / Send to Back properties
adjusted manually. This needs to be done after any new coulmns with
headers are inserted into a datawindow grid with 3D raised and lowered
objects.
