Re: aligning text in columns

2014-06-11 Thread André Bisseret
Bonjour Chris,

In some stacks, specially before the dataGrid,  I right aligned using format 
(see format in the dictionary

For example, the following handler :

  local theData
   set the itemDel to tab
   put fld fData into theData
   repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in theData
  repeat with y = 1 to the number of items in line x of theData
 if item y of line x of theData is a number then
put format(%13s,item y of line x of theData) into item y of line 
x of theData
 end if
  end repeat
   end repeat
   put theData into fld fData

In this example, 13 is the number of chararacters which is possible in a 
column.

To use right align in this way it is necessary to use monospaced font in the 
field.

Best regards

André

 Do we have the ability yet to set the text alignment for individual columns

 I have a very simple field with just two columns. I want the alignment of the 
 first one to be left, and the second one to be right. A data grid is 
 overkill, otherwise I’d go with that. I couldn’t remember if, with all the 
 new field changes, that was added or not. I can’t seem to find any obvious 
 properties, but I could be missing something.
 
 Or would it be best to just use two separate fields for this?
 
 Thanks,
 Chris

My understanding is that the work has been done, and it will be in a new 
build of 7.0dp soon.
