Angled Labels for ppCrossTab

edited March 2006 in General
Hello,

Using Delphi2006, I am writing a summary report that display the number of
Procedures performed by a Physician.

The rows are the Physician's Name, and the columns are the Procedure names.
The data in the column is just an integer, while the Procedures have long
names. And there are lots of them. So, if the Procedure's names shows in
the header column, the columns get very wide, and the matrix expand into
many many pages, making the report unreadable.

I am trying to get the Procedure names to display at an angle, almost
vertical, like the tppLabel do it.

I tried to create labels at run time, but have failed to see them.

So the question is: How to display the column's header caption at an angle
with a CrossTab Report?

Thank you so much.

Danielle

    Hi Danielle,

    Unfortunately rotating the captions inside a crosstab is not currently a
    feature of this component. The built-in cross tab is somewhat limited in
    the ways it can be customized. Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure the
    layout of your crosstab, but you may be able to add rotated labels above or
    to the side of the crosstab component giving this effect.
