The Quick Text element is the simplest of the Quick Content elements in that you do not need to customize the element at all. The Quick Text element was designed in such a way that all you need to do is pass a string to the AddQuickText method to quickly add text to your report. Of course, you can also get a reference to the element and modify a few standard properties such as Alignment , Brush , and Font ; but if you need a full-fledged Text element, see Text for more information. The basic use-case for the Quick Text element is to add default text (Arial, 12pt) with no regard to its placement or appearance.
Use the following code to first add a Quick Text element with default style, and then retrieve a reference to a new Quick Text element and modify its style by changing the color and font. This topic assumes that you have a Report element defined with at least one Section element added to it. See Report and Section for more information.
In Visual Basic:
section1.AddQuickText("This is the default Quick Text style.")
Dim quickText As Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.QuickText.IQuickText = _ quickSection.AddQuickText("This is a modified Quick Text style.")
quickText.Brush = Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Graphics.Brushes.SteelBlue
quickText.Font = New Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Graphics.Font("Verdana", 18)
In C#:
section1.AddQuickText("This is the default Quick Text style.");
Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.QuickText.IQuickText quickText = section1.AddQuickText("This is a modified Quick Text style.");
quickText.Brush = Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Graphics.Brushes.SteelBlue;
quickText.Font = new Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Graphics.Font("Verdana", 18);
