The DataPA Reports Designer allows you to add registered ActiveX controls to your report, allowing you to extend the functionality of the report designer beyond the standard functionality. See below for details on how to add and delete ActiveX controls in your report whilst in design mode in the report designer.

For details on how to set properties of ActiveX controls at design time, to change the appearance and behaviour of your controls, see using the property toolbox.

For details on how to use scripting, to change properties of ActiveX controls based on values returned by your query as the report is rendered, see scripting.

Adding an ActiveX

Select the ActiveX button from the Tools Panel.

Select the ActiveX control you wish to add to your report.

Draw the control on to a section of the report.

Deleting a page break

Select the ActiveX control in the sections panel, then either press the delete key, or press the right mouse button and select delete from the drop down menu.
