Aligning text vertically in TppLabel

rbuser

Hi,

I have a report, where I need to be able to have a label, with word-wrapped
text. However, I need the next to work from bottom to top, not top to
bottom.
(ie - if the label is 3 rows of text high, and I only have 1 line of text,
it sits on the bottom. If I have 2 lines of text, it starts in the middle,
and the last line sits on the bottom).

However - I can't find any properly in the PPLabel component, that allows me
to align text vertically, only horizontally (ie, Right, Center or Left).

Can this be done?

Thanks & Regards

Adam.

Hi Adam,

Unfortunately, this feature is not available in ReportBuilder. As a work
around, you will either need to use multiple labels or memos and split your
wrapped text to position it correctly. I will add vertical text alignment
to our list for possible enhancements for a later release. Thanks for the
feedback.

Hi Nico (and all else)

Thanks for your reply.

I understand that it is possible for people to make their own components for
Reportbuilder. I'm not in a position where I'm very familiar with this at
the moemnt, so I'm wondering:

Is there ANYONE in this newsgroup that would be willing to make a text
component the same (or inherited) as the TppDBText component, with an
alignvertical property. I am willing to pay for this development, depending
on the cost. (Or is their a 3rd part component that already does this?)

Thanks & Regards

Adam Hair.

Hi Ben,

Unfortunately this is not a native feature of ReportBuilder. It is
still however on our list of possible enhancements and I will add your
request to help possibly get it researched and implemented.

I also feel that the addition of vertical orientation of a label would be of
great benefit. For example if the data was one or two characters is width
but the title was more, i.e.

T
o
o
t
h

Hi John,

I believe Ben was referring to the vertical orientation of horizontal
text within a text box. The behavior you describe below can be
accomplished by using a TppMemo component with the CharWrap property set
to True.
