set larger character pitch

rbuser

Hello,

we have to print to special pre-printe forms where the document ID has
to be printed in boxes that has a larger character pitch as standard.
At the moment we put spaces between the characters, but this does not
work very well. Is there a easy way to solve this with reportbuilder ?

I know, that we could use a field for every character but I hope there
is a simpler way, because I don't want to make the query harder to read.

Thanks
Andreas

Andreas,

A couple of ideas..

1. Use a Memo and specify Memo.TabStopPositions. In the memo text place a
tab character between each character.

2. Use a PaintBox and in the OnPaint event draw each character to the
PaintBox.Canvas at a specified X,Y position.


Best regards,
