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,

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.
