Report controls can be used to customize the appearance of the report. All controls are available in design time as well as in runtime. Controls are located in Toolbox; in design time in section DX:Reports.

Report controls can reside either inside report bands, or inside other report controls (which may serve as control containers). The appearance and behaviour of a report control is defined by its type. Complex structures such as sub reports can also be added into report.

Controls can be used to create lines, separators, tables, short text, charts, etc. It is possible to display information such as page numbers, current date, currently logged user, etc. Pictures can be displayed as well as different text codes; bar and zip.

For each control it is possible to define their appearance, behaviour, data, design, etc. All this is done with their properties. For the detailed description of properties please see Developer Express documentation.
