Right. Docs are not always up to date. Sorry.

Re: [MBS] Setting a date property of a ABPersonMBS

[Maximilian Tyrtania]

Hmm, wait a minute, now I seem to have success with a simple date object too. 
Which is surprising again, seeing that the ABRecordMBS.setValue(value as 
variant, propertyName as string)-docs (at 
https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.net/addressbook-abrecordmbs-method.shtml) say:

Value can be Integer, Double, Dictionary, MultiValueMBS/MutableMultiValueMBS or 
String.
Returns true if the value was set successfully

Well, I guess Date objects are valid too and Christian just didn't update the 
docs.

So - nevermind.

Re: [MBS] Is Graphics.DrawArcMBS depracated?

[Richard Gorbutt]

Thanks for the answer. Makes sense. I use the DynaPDF for creating a PDF
file, can it be used for displaying on a Canvas/Screen?

[MBS] DrawRotatesTextMBS ugly in Windows

[Richard Gorbutt]

Hi,

So, a few years back I tried to use DrawRotatedTextMBS and had awful
results on Windows 7. This was from the time.

So, I used StringShape at the time, however I'm back to DrawRotatedTextMBS,
and on the Mac, looks really really nice, but on Windows looks awful and
jaggy. I've tried g.AntiAlias = true etc and still the same. GDI+ is on
although at the time you mentioned it didn't use GDI+. The demo example
also looks awful in Windows.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks, Richard.

Of course. Some users who generate PDFs also use those PDFs for showing 
graphics by rendering a picture of the page and showing it.

No. But maybe I can move it to GDI+ someday.

[Richard Gorbutt]

Ah, looks like I would need the Pro license to be able to do that. Back to
my stringshape. :-)
