You can use the FillStyle property to specify whether a circle or line drawn by the Circle or Line method on a report is transparent, opaque, or filled with a pattern.
Setting
The FillStyle property uses the following settings.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Opaque |
| 1 | (Default) Transparent |
| 2 | Horizontal Line |
| 3 | Vertical Line |
| 4 | Upward Diagonal |
| 5 | Downward Diagonal |
| 6 | Cross |
| 7 | Diagonal Cross |
You can set the FillStyle property by using a macro or a Visual Basic event procedure specified by a section's OnPrint property setting.
Remarks
When the FillStyle property is set to 0, a circle or line has the color set by the FillColor property. When the FillStyle property is set to 1, the interior of the circle or line is transparent and has the color of the report behind it.
To use the FillStyle property, the SpecialEffect property must be set to Normal.
