We first tell clients that putting boxes in the detail section of a form
will double the cost of the form (and it does). Hopefully, that will
discourage the use of boxes.
If you can use boxes, great, otherwise you have to use individual
horizontal and vertical lines. It is easiest to use millimeters when
specifying positions and sizes. Set the Height property to Column
Height to get a vertical line to fill the section. In the detail lines
you will have problems aligning vertical lines. Try setting section top
and bottom margins to zero millimeters. Also set the shape control
width to .01mm. Experiment being explicit with section and control
margins.
When doing vertical lines to separate detail columns, I've had good
success (in 3.0) setting up a section for column headings with vertical
lines separating the columns. I uniquely name the vertical lines and
use the names in the ModelFieldName property on other vertical lines in
other detail sections. It allows you to change just the lines in the
column heading - the other lines should automatically follow.

Subject: Using Shape Control
Hello, could someone please tell me how to use shape control
effectively?
I need to design an invoice and they want almost everything boxed in.
I got around the small stuff with line above/left/right/below
but that won't work for the bigger stuff like invoice transactions.
I thought i could use the shape and set it to Vertical but for some
reason it will only draw a short line. That line will also push other
controls down. Not what i want.
Please help if you can.
