Report Pane Versus Canvas Pane

The report pane provides several benefits over using a standard Px page with scroll and canvas panes.
  • There are no settings for the report pane size. The report pane is the root of the Px file and auto sizes based on the content to display.
  • The report pane has properties which allow the inclusion of a logo image, the page number and a date time stamp on each page of an exported report.
  • Bound tables in a report pane auto size to display all rows without the need of a scroll bar, where as a bound table in a standard canvas pane must be sized manually.
  • When exporting the report Px to a pdf file the required number of pages automatically generate.
     NOTE: It is important not to put the report pane inside of a scroll pane or the auto sizing and page generation will not function correctly.
