How can I print aligned columns with printomaticLite? Data was taken from
v12 database.
I created handler to make each column same width and when I preview results
in message window I got perfectly aligned data like this:
Ariel 15 27 56
Mano 27 25 24
----
But when I make Append command and call printpreview I got columns like
this:
Ariel 15 27 56
Mano 27 25 24
My Handler checks the width of column and add spaces from last char to
desired column width like this. (line represents space)
Ariel_________15_________27_______56
Gary_________155________29_______4897
I now that printing is not the same like screen preview, and when I print
result letter "i" is not as wide like "d" and because that I got bad align.
How can I resolve this problem?
I sucseed to write results in a text member where my handler works well and
I have perfectly aligned columns. I tried to print text from that member bud
I got same results.
Next I have idea to convert text member into bitmap on the fly and print
data like bitmap, but this is nightmare.
The easiest way is to set tab positions with tabs command and use TAB in
APPEND command like:
APPEND doc, FirstCol & TAB & SecCol & TAB & ThirdCol & RETURN
But I have print result like this:
Ariel€15€27€25
PrintomaticLite doesn't recognize TAB or numToChar(9) !!??
Do you ever resolve that kind of problem?
Is there any other way to print aligned data from v12 database with
PrintomaticLite or some other xtras.
Please help me,
Thank you
