Public Overridable Property Font As DXFont
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DXFont |
An object that contains font information.
|
The Font property specifies the font of the control’s XRControl.Text, while the text alignment is specified by the XRControl.TextAlignment property.
If the Font property’s value is not set for the current report control, its value is obtained from its parent, or a parent of its parent and so on. Similarly, the Font value of the current control is applied to all its child report controls (if there are any in its XRControl.Controls collection), if their Font property value is not set. For more information on this concept, please refer to Appearance Properties.
Note
The Font property is used only by some descendants of the XRControl class. For example, the XRPageBreak class ignores the Font property.
This example demonstrates how to use the XRLabel control to create a hyperlink.
The code below creates the XRLabel control, sets up its appearance, and specifies its NavigateUrl and Target properties.
using System.Drawing;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...
public XRLabel CreateHyperlink(){
// Create a label for a hyperlink.
XRLabel hyperlinkLabel = new XRLabel();
// Set its main properties.
hyperlinkLabel.Text = "DevExpress Inc.";
hyperlinkLabel.Width = 200;
hyperlinkLabel.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
hyperlinkLabel.Font = new Font("Tahoma", 12, FontStyle.Underline);
// Set its URL and target.
hyperlinkLabel.NavigateUrl = "https://www.devexpress.com/";
hyperlinkLabel.Target = "_blank";
return hyperlinkLabel;
}
Imports System.Drawing
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
' ...
Public Function CreateHyperlink() As XRLabel
' Create a label for a hyperlink.
Dim hyperlinkLabel As XRLabel = New XRLabel()
' Set its main properties.
hyperlinkLabel.Text = "DevExpress Inc."
hyperlinkLabel.Width = 200
hyperlinkLabel.ForeColor = Color.Blue
hyperlinkLabel.Font = New Font("Tahoma", 12, FontStyle.Underline)
' Set its URL and target.
hyperlinkLabel.NavigateUrl = "https://www.devexpress.com/"
hyperlinkLabel.Target = "_blank"
Return hyperlinkLabel
End Function
To add the hyperlink to the report’s Detail band, handle the report’s BeforePrint event:
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...
private void XtraReport1_BeforePrint(object sender, System.ComponentModel.EventArgs e) {
// Create a new hyperlink and add it to the report's Detail Band.
Bands.GetBandByType(typeof(DetailBand)).Controls.Add(CreateHyperlink());
}
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
' ...
Private Sub XtraReport1_BeforePrint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.EventArgs)
Create a new hyperlink and add it to the report's Detail Band.
Bands.GetBandByType(GetType(DetailBand)).Controls.Add(CreateHyperlink())
End Sub
The label behaves like a hyperlink in a report’s Print Preview and in a document exported to HTML, PDF, RTF, XLS, and XLSX formats.
