The General page of the TextBox smart panel allows you to control the following items:

• Name: Enter a name for the textbox that is unique within the report. This name is displayed in the Document Outline and in XML exports.
• Tooltip: Enter the value or expression you want to appear when a user hovers the cursor over the textbox in the viewer at run time.
• Repeat report item with data region on every page: You can select this check box and select a data region to print the textbox on every page to which the data region continues.

  Note: You must select Print Preview mode in order to see this property working in the viewer.

  • Data Region: Select the data region with which to repeat the textbox.
• Value: Enter an expression or a static label, or choose a field expression from the drop-down list. You can access the expression editor by selecting <Expression...> in the list. The value of this expression or text is displayed in the report.
• Hide duplicates: This option is disabled unless the textbox is within a data region.
  • Containing group or dataset: Enter or select a group or dataset in which to hide repeated values.

    Note: When the group or dataset breaks to a new page, the first instance of the repeated value is printed.
