VB Crystal Report >> text object right-align doesn't work

by wardy1975 » Mon, 21 Mar 2005 22:54:12 GMT

Hi,

I have a number of text objects on a Crystal Report that I am
dynamically setting the text for at runtime using .NET. I want the
text to be right-aligned in these objects. At design time, I have set
the horizontal alignment to be right, but at runtime when I get a
reference to the object and set it's text, it always reverts to
left-aligned. I have also tried in the code resetting the alignment
after setting the text value using the following code, but it doesn't
work either:

txtObject.ObjectFormat.HorizontalAlignment = Alignment.RightAlign;

Is this a bug in Crystal? If I don't modify the text setting at
runtime, it is right aligned...Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

JohnW

Hi,

I got the same problem with centre align. But it seems to be not a
consequent thing. Have you tried to remove the text object and insert it
again into the report (same name etc.).

Additionally I figured out the engine crashes if I have copied pasted text
with a formatation into the text object and I want to re-set the text at
runtime (e.g. for localization).

regards

Chris

I use vb6, win2000, and word2003.

I am creating a word document in vb.

After I write the data to the document I put it into a table:

  oRange.start = WordDoc.Range.start
  oRange.ConvertToTable numcolumns:=IIf(choice, 4, 1), AutoFit:=True

I want to have the second column right-aligned. This code does not
work:

    tbl.Columns(2).Select
    Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight

It works as a macro in Word on the final document, but not from vb.

This code works, but is slow:

   Dim cl As Cell
   For Each cl In tbl.Columns(2).Cells
     cl.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
   Next cl

8. CommonDialog ShowOpen Doesn't Seem to Work Right 

I've been using VB for about 8 years, but I don't remember ever using
the CommonDialog component. 

I tried to use it as a browse for file function just now and it
doesn't behave as expected.

It seems to work if I select a file that;'s really a file, but if I
select a folder shortcut, instead of opening the folder like normal
Windoze applications, it returns the .lnk (shortcut) file.

Is this a known deficiency or am I doing something wrong?
