Angled text anchors

rbuser

Hi

in a prior version (delphi7, reportbuilder 9.02) we made lots of reports
with angled labels in the headers. We filled the text depending a dialog
while opening the report.

We migrated to delphi (XE2 reportbuilder 14.06) and see that the
autosize behaves differently. In stead of growing to the upper right
corner it goes down.

Changing alignment or anchors does not help. How can i anchor the left,
down corner so it autosizes like it did?

Thanx in advance

Hi Ruud,

For future reference please try to post to the relevant newsgroup. I'm
unsure how this relates to RAP.

What angle is your text set to? In my testing with a simple DBText set
to a 45 degree angle and autosize, the text properly grows to the top
right as it should.

Hi Nico,

thanks for looking in to this

i posted it here because i filled the text in Rap. But i see your point.
It happens also in a normal report.

I take 2 labels. 1 of them i set autosize to true. If i change both
Captions they react different.

The one with autosize false has a negative RotatedOriginTop (-349)
The one with autosize true gets a positive RotatedOriginTop (4498)

One moves up the other moves down.

Kind regards

Ruud

Hi Ruud,

Thanks for the information however I'm still not seeing this behavior.
Is this something that only happens in the designer? Does it happen
with DBText or only labels that are manually entered?

What angle are you using?

Hi Nico,

i mailed you some screen shots. A picture says more than a thousand words.

It does not matter if i do this design time or runtime in the designer.
It happens with labels and dbtext.

i use an angle of 30 degree. 45 or 60 has the same behaviour.

Regards
