TppCrossTab

Hello All!

I want to have column captions be rotated by 90 degrees.
Is this possible? What can I do to implement this feature?

Also I need to draw multi-line column captions.
How to ...?

Thanks,
Venedict

Unfortunately there is nothing built into ReportBuilder currently to support
rotation. Also the only available behavior of the columns is to stretch to
accomodate the width of the caption string. You can simulate multi line
captions by adding rows of dtString type to the matrix after the crosstab
has been calculated and breaking the caption up across multiple rows. i.e.

procedure TForm1.ppCrossTab1AfterCalc(Sender: TObject);
begin

ppCrossTab1.GridLines := False;

ppCrossTab1.Matrix.InsertRows(1, 1, dtString);
ppCrossTab1.Matrix.InsertRows(2, 1, dtString);

ppCrossTab1.Matrix.Value[0,0] := 'A really, really';
ppCrossTab1.Matrix.Value[0,1] := 'really, really';
ppCrossTab1.Matrix.Value[0,2] := 'long caption.';

end;
