Leading in a Tab Line

rbuser

Don't know if I have the correct terms but
I want to have a line of dot space dot between
a description column and a price column ala

Item 1 . . . . . . . . . . . $400,00.00
Item 2 - Large . . . . . . . . . $10.00

The closest I can get is a dotted line
behind the description and turning the
dexcription transparency off. I cannot
get it to look good on the price as the
price is right justified and auto-sized
but I cannot get it to be in front of
the line (I can for the description).
Am I missing something obvious here or
is this a bug. I am using D7 with 7.01
Enterprise. Is there a better way to
accomplish this?

Thanks

Hi John,

putting the dotted line to back worked fine for me, transparency is off for the price component.

Sometimes, printers don't handle clear text brushes in a non transparent
configuration. Use the tip approach below if you want to calculate the dots
to print in the space between your two report components.

This demo uses a TppVariable to print the 'Item 1...............' as one
string for your case.
