When you place a band in card view mode, the data from each row from that band is displayed as a card. These cards are arranged in a rectangular card view area, which replaces the row in the visible grid. The column headers of the band become the labels for the cards. The cards are arranged in "stacks" or columns of cards, with each stack consisting of one or more "layers" or rows of individual cards. The Style property specifies how the cards will be arranged within the card view area.
There are three styles of card display. Standard Labels style displays the data labels on each card. Cards are arranged into columns (or "stacks") each having an identical number of rows of cards (or "levels") and each card is the the same height. In Merged Labels style, there is one area for labels on the left side of the card area and the cards themselves contain only the data. Merged Labels style also displays symmetrical stacks of cards with a fixed number of levels that share a common height.
When using the Variable Height style, labels are displayed on each card, but the height of the individual cards changes based on the contents of the card. If a data field has an empty value (a data value of DBNULL or an empty string for string fields) that field does not appear on the card. Note that when using Variable Height style there is no way to add values to empty fields, since empty fields are inaccessible.
Each stack of cards in the Variable Height view style may contain a different number of levels, and the levels may not line up into neat rows and columns as they do with the other styles. Because the number of levels per stack is variable, there is a difference in the way certain properties are applied in this mode. For example, the MaxCardAreaRows property determines the maximum number of levels that will be displayed based on the height of a theoretical stack made up of cards with all their fields visible, rather than on the height of any actual stack that is being displayed.
