  [activereports_archive]We’re finally upgrading the main reporting tool in our product from AR2 (COM) to AR10 (.NET), and one of the gripes our beta testers have in using the exposed report designer surface is that they have a hard time visualizing the blocking of the subreports because the appearance of the subreport has changed from a well-defined opaque and 3d-embossed box, to a faint gray outline.

  Is there anything we can do to intercept the drawing of these boxes and draw them in the old style?[/activereports_archive]

  [activereports_archive]Hello,

  If you could share with us few screen-shots of how you want the appearance of SubReport control (AR2(COM)) and what you are currently seeing (AR10), then it would be really helpful for us to search for a solution and update you as soon as possible.

  Here’s how it looks in AR10 vs AR2 for COM.
