Shape with text

rbuser

Hi,
I'm looking for a shape (rounded rectangle) with a caption-property
(horizontal centered)
We would use it as a column-header (at the moment we do it with a shape and
a label-component but this takes to much time to arrange).

Has anybody done this. Has anybody a similar example (beside of the
coustomcheckbox-example)?
It don't has to be data-aware.
It would be great if one could insert the caption within the
designer-toolbar like it works with an ordinary label.

Thank you,
Josef Gschwendtner

You could create and register a custom label descendent. In the
PropertiesToDrawCommand method, override it and create a TppShape rounded
rectangle draw command and assign its page property. This page object can
be pulled from the inherited draw command that is created for the label
(TppDrawText). By assigning hte page property, you will tell the draw shape
command to be located on the same page as the draw text. Remember to set
the positional proeprties of the draw shape to be the same as the draw
text..


Cheers,
