LeaderDots property equivalent in RTC

poppins

Hi everyone,

Is there an equivalent of the classic property LeaderDots for 2013 R2 reports?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
You could do this:
(1) Create a function in your report (in VS):

Public Function LeaderDots (ByVal Text as String, ByVal PadLength as integer) as String
  Dim Pad as Char
  Pad = Convert.ToChar(".")
  Return Text.PadRight(PadLength, Pad)
End Function

(2) place the value you want to show in a textbox

(3) Change the expression of the textbox like this:

=Code.LeaderDots ( YourValue , 100 )

where YourValue is the original value, and 100 is the padded length you want in the resulting string (set this to a high value).

(4) set the 'CanGrow' property of the textbox to False

So, we have to add some VB code to accomplish this
Thanks a lot
