Double underlines

Using the Bottom Border Style Double seems to have effect. I still get a
single underline. This is the case when rendering through the Report Manager.
If I remember correctly it did work in RS2000. Anybody know how to accomplish
this in RS2005 ?I found that in I needed to set the width to at least 3pt before I could see
the double lines. 1pt for the top, 1pt for the space, and 1pt for the
bottom.
...kind of makes sense.

Double Line on Report

Here's hoping
On the properties tab, Border Style, one of the line options is a double
line, if one chooses this option, the report only shows single lines does
anyone know how to get the double line to show.

It appears that the BorderStyle of double only works with a
BorderWidth of 2pt or greater. Try increasing your BorderWidth to at
least 2pt.

Thanks for the response, when I increase the size of the border, the line is
just made thicker, it does not seem to return a double line as in Excel.

Are you needing the double border on a table control or something
else?

Double Line border turn to be single in Reporting Service

I tried to set double in bottom border of text file. But it turned out to be single line either Previewing in Designer or Printing or Exporting to PDF. Does anyone have any idea?Try to increase width to at least 3pt|||

Thank you for your post, Lev. I just tried that. But it seems not working even I set borderwidth to 5pt. I found double line is OK only when exporting to excel. Does anyone else have the same issue with me?

What version of RS are you using? Are you viewing the PDF at 100% zoom? It should work with a width of >3pt.

Thank you.

Dear Donovan,

I tried again after your reply. It did work this time. There must be somewhere wrong while I did my test yesterday.

Thank both of you, Lev & Donovan!

Cheers!

|||I am having the exact same problem. I am using RS2005. I set the bottom border to double. I have tried changing the border width and this just makes the single line that is displayed thicker. If I export to Excel, I can see the double line, otherwise in preview, pdf, etc, I only see the single line. Any other ideas?|||

Could this be the result of border clipping? Is the report item you placed the double border on inside of another item? A border starts at the edge of a report item and extends out half the width on each side of this edge. If the item with a border is contained inside another item, any of the border that extends beyond the bounds of that container will be clipped. In this way, a double border will appear to show only a single border if half of it is clipped.

If that's not the case, would you please either post a simple demonstration RDL to this thread or open a bug on http://connect.microsoft.com so I can take a look?

Thank you.

|||It looks like the border is being "clipped off". I am using a matrix to display the data. The very last row of the matrix is where I am attempting to set the bottom border as double. If I add another row below this one, the double border is displayed correctly.
