Rotating a TppDBText

edited October 2006 in End User
I was wondering if there is a way for the TppDBText object to rotate so
instead of reading right to left it can read up and down.

    Hi Jonas,

    Every non-wrapping text object in ReportBuilder contains the Angle property
    that allows you to define which angle you would like to print that text.
    Native text rotation was introduced for RB 9.x or later. You can access the
    Angle property from the designer using the Position dialog or the built-in
    inspector that is part of the report tree.

    Hi Jonas,

    There is the RotatedText third party component available on our web site at
    the following address.

    ok i got the text to rotate. thanks for that, but now i want the text to be
    right justified. When i print it always goes to leftjustified, i was
    looking at the component and saw there was a function that is called
    AllowJustification and when i step into my program the AllowJustification
    always comes back false, how do i get the component to allow justification?

    Hi Jonas,

    The RotatedText component was not developed by Digital Metaphors and is
    therefore not actively supported. My guess is that the component was not
    designed to be right aligned so this feature has been disabled.

    The native text rotation available in the latest versions of ReportBuilder
    includes the ability to align rotated text left, right, and center. It is
    also possible to directly rotate a DBText object so there is no need to
    manually access your data.
