Properties of Crosstab in Page Report

A crosstab can have the following child objects: Column Compound Group, Row Compound Group and Summary Area, the properties of which are all the same.

The properties of a crosstab object in a page report are as follows:

Property Name	Description
General
Class Type	Indicates the class type of the object. This property is read only.
Data Inherit	Indicates whether the dataset for this object is inherited from another object. This property is read only.
Dataset	Indicates the dataset used by the object. This property is read only.
Instance Name	Shows the instance name of the object. This property is read only.
Geometry
Height	Displays the height of the object. This property is read only.
Width	Displays the width of the object. This property is read only.
X	Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the top left corner of the object, relative to its parent container. This property is ignored if the Position property is set to static. Enter a numeric value to change the position. Data type: Float
Y	Specifies the vertical coordinate of the top left corner of the object, relative to its parent container. This property is ignored if the Position property is set to static. Enter a numeric value to change the position. Data type: Float
Color
Background	Specifies the background color of the object. Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to customize a color. You can also use a formula or edit an expression that returns a color, or enter a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color. Data type: String
Alternating Line Color
Direction	Specifies whether the color defined by the property Pattern List will apply to the fields in the same rows or columns in the crosstab. vertical - The value of the property Pattern List will take effect on the fields in the same columns, except for the total columns. horizontal - The value of the property Pattern List will take effect on the fields in the same rows, except for the total rows. Data type: Enumeration
Enable	Specifies whether to enable setting alternating line color for the crosstab. Only when it is set to true, the settings for the properties Direction and Pattern List can take effect. Data type: Boolean Note: The setting of the alternating line color function for crosstab can only take effect when all the aggregate fields in the crosstab have transparent background.
Pattern List	Specifies the color pattern for the fields in the same rows or columns in the crosstab. Select in the value cell and select the small squares in the color tray one by one to specify the patterns. The patterns can be one or more of the following: Automatic, Color, Texture, and Gradient. Data type: String
CSS
Class	Specifies a CSS class to be applied to the object which is a valid class in the CSS file. Data type: String

Items per Column Block	Specifies the number of columns of records in each data block. The four properties work together to control the data of the crosstab to be displayed in continuous page mode: Current Row Block Index, Current Column Block Index, Items per Row Block, and Items per Column Block. Data type: Integer
Items per Row Block	Specifies the number of rows of records in each data block. The four properties work together to control the data of the crosstab to be displayed in continuous page mode: Current Row Block Index, Current Column Block Index, Items per Row Block, and Items per Column Block. Data type: Integer
Position	Specifies the position of the object. Choose an option from the drop-down list. static - The object is positioned at the location in which it is inserted. If selected, the X, Y and other position-related properties will be hidden or disabled.
