angle text and autosize

rbuser

using dbText.angle @ 340
autosize := False;
upon taking focus off component the component always reizes to small
displaying date dd/mm/yyyy format
end up with "28/" instead of 28/11/2006

dosent appear to make any difference if autosize is on or off
still get a crap answer when angle not 0

using in a subreport embeded in column on a sub report D10 ud2 + hotfix
rollup - rb10.04

Is this a bug or have I done it wrong ?

Hi Ian,

In my testing with your specifications below, ReportBuilder 10.04 and Delphi
2006, I was unable to recreate the behavior you describe.

Are you seeing this at design time or runtime? Please provide the exact
steps I should take to recreate the problem.

Ok I will try and describe the report which is fairly complex
6 IBQuerys,ds chained in various ways
q1 pl to Main report
q1=>ds =>Q2
q2 pl to Sr1 13 columns
Sr2 embeded in column of sr1
q3 Params set on before generate Sr1
q3 pl to Sr2
SR2 1 column
Sr3 & Sr 4 embeded in Sr2 Both 1 Column
q2 =>ds=>q4
q4 pl to Sr3

q3 => ds => q5
q5 pl to Sr4

I dont think the below affects it but
(Main Has 3 group with Sr5 in outer group Header q1=> ds =>Q6 q6 pl to
Sr5 )

Report works fine.
Just went to add an exta field to SR2 to show expiry date of this particular
material No.
Thought dbtext coloured and angled would look good and be hard to miss.
date formated dd/mm/yyyy

when set the size of dbText at design with any angle the component resets to
a small square
(pivorted on Left and top)
even when auto size false and resulting display "28/" and not full date is
the result
at Run time autoSize true still get "28/" tried angles both Top to B and B
to T

works fine if angle = 0

Hope this complex story is less confusing for you than me

If you need a copy of the dfm and pas please let me know

Hi Ian,

If possible, please construct a minimal example of this behavior that I can
run on my machine and send it in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com so I can take a look at it.
