Autosize problems

rbuser

I am sure that there is something fundamentally wrong with RB here...

I drop a TppdbText on a report, and during layout of the report change
it's font size and autosize properties, finally ending up with
AutoSize=False.

The report previews ok, and prints ok too.

At some sites, the field does not display data on screen, or on the
printer. I believe that this is caused by the field being marginally
not high enough to display the line of text.

Apart from going through each field on my report and making them half
a mm higher, is there anything anyone could suggest to make my
reporting a little more reliable?

I have been caught with this several times.

Are you using RB 6.0? If the height of the dbText is smaller than what the
text height, then the part of the text that will fit should print within a
clipped region. It's working in tests here. This problem must only be
showing up when using another language. I'll try to reproduce it.

I really doubt if language has anything to do with it, I am fairly
sure Australian Arial is the same as US

I imagine that the issue could have been with printer drivers, and
perhaps it is fixed now, but I wanted to raise the issue in case it
was affecting other users.

The text should print on a clipped region, however, it may not be supported
on some printer drivers. Make sure the latest printer driver is installed.
Does it print correctly when autosize is true?

The only reason I said that it may be the language, is that one time I found
that a string in Russian would appear to fit within the height of the dbText
component at design time, but in the preview it never showed up. The fix was
to increase the height of the text component.
