Yep ! That's exactly what I was thinking of. But this is what I would do because it is easy for me <g> Probably you'll catch a better way to do it in one of Cathy's books ??? The Report listener brings the "Render" method. I would do it this way: 1 - Create a cursor that would have some tags stored in a field, such as: backcolor, forecolor and text (string to print). - something like: "rgb(128,128,128);rgb(0,0,0);text or value to print" 2 - In my custom report listener, in "Render" method, I would catch each of these fields, and read and separate the contents using getwordnum, using the ";" as separator. 3 - After getting each value, I would "draw" using GdiPlusX the text. Note that: The render method can retrieve the exact position where the text will be drawn, and all properties. I've created a specific report listener that "Draws" texts in FULL JUSTIFIED mode using this technique. You can have more details in my blog post here: "Full Justified Texts in your reports with GdiPlus X" http://weblogs.foxite.com/cesarchalom/archive/2007/04/05/3641.aspx Using that listener all you'll have to do is to adapt some codes. This could be a good sample for the GdiPlusX library. If you want, you can send me a sample B&W FRX and a cursor that generates the FRX with the "unknown" size, and I'll setup the GDI+ part for you. I repeat, for MY OWN CASE, a listener will do the job, since I'm used to it in some cases like the one I pointed you above. Hope this helps. ... And Im glad to be sending a message to you. ... You do a terrific job !
