Description

The QR Get text property command returns the property value of the text attributes for the cell determined by colNum and RowNum.

area is the reference of the Quick Report area.

colNum is the number of the cell column.

rowNum is the reference of the cell row. You can either pass:

  • a positive value designating the corresponding subtotal (break) level,
  • one of the constants of the QR Rows for Properties theme:
    | Constant | Type | Value | Comment |
    | -------------- | ------- | ----- | --------------------- |
    | qr detail | Longint | -2 | Detail area of report |
    | qr footer | Longint | -5 | Page footer |
    | qr grand total | Longint | -3 | Grand total area |
    | qr header | Longint | -4 | Page header |
    | qr title | Longint | -1 | Title of report |

Note: When passing -4 or -5 as rowNum, you still need to pass a column number in colNum, even if it is not used.

Note: In cross-table mode, the principle is similar except for the row values, which are always positive.

property is the value of the text attribute to get. You can use the constants of the QR Text Properties theme, and the following values can be returned:
