Remarks
The LayoutMode enumeration allows for the customization of the design surface behavior in the ActiveReports designer. Users can enable or combine different layout modes to facilitate precise placement and alignment of report elements.

Available modes include:

  • None for no snapping or alignment aids,
  • SnapGrid to enable snapping to a grid pattern,
  • SnapLines to enable snapping to alignment lines based on the positions of other elements,
  • DimHelperLines to make helper lines less prominent, aiding in design without distraction.

This enumeration supports a bitwise combination of its member values, allowing multiple layout modes to be active simultaneously for enhanced design flexibility.
