I always seem to be having fun working with the Ax 2009 product until I have to touch the now deprecated reporting tool. Today I’ve been asked to highlight some column titles and a totals area with a grey or shaded background. The *tutorial_ColourLines* report isn’t what I need as we do not want to colour the whole report section. We only want to change the background color for labels or better yet, inside a shape.

Thanks

    Revisiting the TrucosAx.com link in Spanish I posted in the questions comments, I’ve obtained an imperfect way of producing the silver backgrounds.

    • Create a Text object but makes sure it is behind all of the other controls, by moving it up the list of objects in the report section.
    • Set the new object as having the same dimensions and position as our original column title or label.
    • Change the original column title background colour.
    • Change the foreground and background colour of our new text object as well.
    • Fill the text object’s Text property with garbage: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO etc.

    Any better suggestion is most welcome.
