Hi. Reports are usually generated by building a card or cards with a layout of controls of your choice. DataGrids, table fields and graphics are all available, in all colors. I am working on a project now where the "report" is essentially a CAD-like drawing, printed to both pdf and paper. It looks ...

Hello,

Bogs,

The video show that when we try to choose color a dialog show different color pencils instead of color swatches or something similar.

But in case of window it just swatches as you have posted.
