Multiple font sizes in report textbox

rnshh · 2007-03-19

Is there any way to manipulate font sizes so that the size of the font will change in the middle of the text box?

I'd like to have THIS effect of changing
font sizes.

Or, perhaps multiple textboxes, each with it's own font size. But then, how would I get the textboxes to "flow" so that it looks like a continuous unbroken sentence.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Is your content static or variable?

You could just arrange (and format) the label controls (a different control for each font size) as needed if the text is static. If it is variable, but the word lengths are relatively static, you could do the same with text boxes. It would be a matter of trial and error in placement to make sure it looks "normal."

maybe i could help you better if you posted an example of what you really want (a little more context than the example you gave).

Currently, the source expression of the TextBox is

"Sales Line".Description + ' ' + SizeOption + ' ' + "Sales Line"."Description 2"

so I'm concatenating 3 strings of, yes, variable size.

I know I'm asking alot of a this report writer, but I thought I'd ask if someone had run across a bright idea.

Thanks

It is not possible directly. If you want it, you can write a DLL which can do it, save it as picture and use this picture in report.

OK, thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

FYI- Crystal Reports can do this.
