OK, now that the cat is out of the bag, I have already received
a few private e-mails to explain the new RBFONT.DLL.
The New RBFONT.DLL will be demonstrated at the 2001 R:BASE
Developers' Conference in October and will be included in
the 2001 Conference CD. (R:Team Goodies ...)
So here it is ...
The new RBFONT.DLL features include the ability to use:
. Font Name
. Font Size
. Font Modifier
. Font Color
. Font Foreground Color
. Font Background Color
. Horizontal Alignment
. Vertical Alignment
RBFONT accepts a command string as follows:
StringToPrint, FontName, FontSize, FontModifiers, ForeColor,
BackColor, HorizontalAlign, VerticalAlign
If any of the values in the string contain within them spaces
or commas, then that value must be enclosed in double quotes.
Double quotes must be used regardless of the R:Base current
quote setting.
If you don't want to specify all the values, you can leave
the ones at the end of the command string blank. They all
have defaults as specified below. The only required value
in the command string is StringToPrint.
Here are details about each value in the command string:
StringToPrint:
Any string value, enclosed in double quotes if there are
internal spaces or commas.
FontName: (Default: Arial)
Any windows font installed on the computer.
Examples: Tahoma, "Courier New".
FontSize: (Default: 11)
The size in which you want the text to appear.
Examples: 11, 72.
FontModifiers: (Default: empty string, no modifier)
Any or all of the follow characters: B for Boldface,
I for Italics, U for Underline, S for Strikethrough.
ForeColor: (Default: Black)
The color in which the font should be displayed. Can be
black, blue, yellow, red, black, green, white, gray,
fuchsia, teal, navy, maroon, lime, olive, purple, silver,
aqua.
BackColor: (Default: White)
The color of the field area behind the font. Can be any
of the ForeColor color options.
HorizontalAlign: (Default: LEFT)
How the text should be placed within the field area as
drawn on the form or report. Can be LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER.
Note that you must set this option in the command string
if you want anything other than Left alignment -- the
option you set on the R:BASE property screen will NOT be
respected.
VerticalAlign: (Default: TOP)
How the text should be placed within the field area as
drawn on the form or report. Can be TOP, BOTTOM, or CENTER.
Example 01:
Assumes a column called TotalAmount in your table. Creates
a command string that will display positive values in green
and negative values in red boldface type.
SET VAR vColor = (IFLT(TotalAmount,0,'Red','Green'))
SET VAR vModifier = (IFLT(TotalAmount,0,'B',''))
SET VAR vFontString = +
('"'+CTXT(TotalAmount)+'",Arial,11,'+.vModifier+','+.vColor)
Complete demo with a sample application will be presented
at the 2001 R:BASE Developers' Conference!
