IMapBackground.HatchStyle

Syntax

HatchStyle: GxHatchStyle;

Description

The HatchStyle property determines legend background hatching type.

Comments

This property is relevant if the IMapBackground.Type property uses the MapBackgroundType.Hatch fill type.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a form containing the components:

ReportBox with the ReportBox1 identifier.
UiReport with the UiReport1 identifier that is a data source for ReportBox1.

It is also required to have a regular report containing a map with enabled legend that is a data source for UiReport1.

Add links to the Map, Report, Tab system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    regrep: IPrxReport;
    sheet: IPrxSheet;
    table: IPrxTable;
    objects: ITabObjects;
    map: IMap;
    legend: IMapLegend;
    background: IMapBackground;
Begin
    // Get regular report
    regrep := UiReport1.Report;
    // Get map from regular report
    sheet := regrep.Activesheet;
    table := sheet As IPrxTable;
    objects := table.TabSheet.Objects;
    map := objects.Item(0).Extension As IMap;
    // Get map legend
    legend := map.View.Legend;
    // Get legend background on map
    background := legend.Background;
    // Set legend background type that is hatching
    background.Type := MapBackgroundType.Hatch;
    // Set new hatching type for legend background
    background.HatchStyle := hatchstyle.Sphere;
    // Refresh map
    map.Refresh;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example legend background is hatched with circles.
