  Hi,
  
  i want to change the location of a line (GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.Line) within a section via vb code.
  
  I have tried changing the X1/X2-coordinates but doing so has no effect on my line. Same goes for setting its bounds, the location attribute with a new pointF or the left property.
  
  I have also tried to output the current location of the line or setting it invisible. Both of these actions worked without issues.

  
  Dim oLine As GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.Line = myLine
  oLine.X1 = 3F
  
  

  would be something i tried as an example close to what is documented.

  Hello,

  sadly i can’t see any attachments.
  
  If moving the line in the code works in said version i’ll look into our implementation of the SectionReport again to see if this is an issue on my end.

  Thanks

  Hello,

  thank you, Mohit! After seeing that the example worked and the code, in essence, was the same, i tried moving my code to a different place.
  
  As it turns out, the format event of the groupheader section couldn’t change the lines location correctly. When i move my code to the reportstart-event everything works as expected. Shouldn’t changing the line be possible in the sections format event though? “Use this section to set or change the properties of any controls or the section itself.” https://help.grapecity.com/activereports/webhelp/Legacy/ActiveReports6/topic138.html?
  
  Anyways, thanks for your help and you can see this topic as closed.
