I have numerous text boxes on an MS-Access form where I'm using left align, but I'd prefer to have a space or two between the edge of the actual box when it displays and the start of the actual data. I thought using the left padding item on the text box property sheet, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I've tried using the format property like this: " " & fieldname but I got an error saying it didn't recognize the field name. I'd appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks.
If I set the property LeftMargin of a textbox from the default 0 to some value, the content is indented as expected by that value.

I have a text box, the size will change, using Ctrl+a I have highlight the text in the text box, how to get the coordinates of this highlighted text? so that I can readtext() that area. Actually I tried copying the highlighted text to clip board and then to put in a variable. But if I compare with an existing text I am getting an \n for the end of the line, if I compare the text retrieved with original text , they don't match. so I am thinking of using readtext()
Please help me in this regard.
Can you try with format function. Should get rid of escape sequences.
typeText controlKey&a
typeText controlKey&c
put remoteClipboard() into yourVariable
put format("%b", yourVariable) into newVariable

how are you comparing in your scenario?
When your use "contains" in your condition you can achieve what you have expected.
There is a video on how to rotate an object around a point but I fail to select the text.
I wanted to do the same thing and saw your question before figuring this out.
1. The "Geogebra Way"
In the Algebra Perspective enter the following RotateText commands in the Input box at the bottom:
RotateText["Rotated text using degrees.", 45°]
RotateText["Rotated text using radians.", 0.785398]
In the Construction Protocol view, this is represented by
"rotatebox{45}{ \text{Rotated text using degrees.} }"
"rotatebox{44.9999999}{ \text{Rotated text using radians.} }"
Note that the radian form of the RotateText command is converted to degrees in the construction step. So this creates an graphical object that renders the text in a LaTeX "rotatebox". It's rather strange that the system doesn't have a tool to create rotateable text.
You can attach the text to an object via the object's Properties->Position->Starting Point. Only certain types of objects can be used, and the text can only be placed/moved underneath the object, which is odd. You can get around this by creating a line segment, attaching the rotateable text object to a desired end-point on the line segment above the location you want the final text, and then hiding the line segment.
2. A better, "undocumented" Geogebra method!
One can actually use LaTeX in captions of objects. Here's how you would enter the text:
$\rotatebox{45}{ \text{Rotated text using standard text box!} }$
A nice thing about this is the caption can be easily placed above the object. Notice that LaTeX commands are surrounded by the dollar sign. Also notice that there is a backslash as part of the \rotatebox command.
Also, one can use the standard text tool to do the same thing. This has the advantage that the text can be dynamic! Create some text anywhere. Then edit it's properties on the Text tab. Check the LaTeX checkbox, and enter the following for the text:
$\rotatebox{45}{ \text{} }$
Then inside the \text{} brackets, select an object. The text will be updated with the object's value. Or a combined form:
$\rotatebox{45}{ \text{"The value is:" + SliderObject} }$
I've tried to put an object in the "degreees" field, but could not get that to work.
Use the RotateText command like this:
RotateText("What ever text you want", angle)
I'm using PHP to generate docx documents from a database. The generated document contains column charts which have labels attached (i.e. user shapes containing textboxes). In an attempt to get the textboxes to accommodate and display all of the text (i.e. it shouldn't be necessary for the user to resize a textbox to see all the text) my code calculates how many characters will fit into 3cm, adds linefeeds to the string as required and tells me how many lines of text are needed. I have:
<a:xfrm xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main">
<a:off x="1638276" y="1676399"/>
<a:ext cx="1257325" cy="'.(252000 * $labelLeftLines).'"/>
</a:xfrm>
which I believe should give me a text box around 3.5cm wide (extra .5 for the internal padding) and a height of .7cm multiplied by whatever is the value of $labelLeftLines. However, the text box always turns up as 3.cm wide by .86cm high, which only ever displays one line of text.
If I add in 'autofit':
<a:bodyPr xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main" vertOverflow="clip" wrap="square" rtlCol="0">
<a:spAutoFit/>
</a:bodyPr>
the generated file looks just the same, though, when I right click on the textbox to inspect the properties, 'autofit' is indeed applied. I have to uncheck it and recheck it to make it affect the textbox.
Any openXML gurus out there?
Hmm, some random floundering around revealed that the values I need to manipulate are here:
<cdr:relSizeAnchor xmlns:cdr="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/chartDrawing">
<cdr:from>
<cdr:x>0.47</cdr:x>
<cdr:y>0.75</cdr:y>
</cdr:from>
<cdr:to>
<cdr:x>0.67</cdr:x>
<cdr:y>1</cdr:y>
</cdr:to>
Changing those values does actually change the size of the texbox, though I haven't a clue what units are being used. From 0.75 to 1 produces a height of 1.43cm.
One day I'll maybe be able to find my way around the doucmentation.
How can we set the space between lines in an rdlc textbox?
Scenario:
The application shall be printing a report to a pre-printed stationary sheet.
One string field of the report is usually having about 400 characters of data (description input by user), which shall be printed in multiple lines.
As a workaround to the problem of not able to set LineHeight property of textbox control in rdlc, I have written a custom code which will insert new line characters into the string (by adding Environment.NewLine) such that the string is splitted into multiple lines. However, I am not able to set the space between each line in the text box. I have tried setting both SpaceAfter and SpaceBefore property. No change :-(
I also tried using VbCrLf and combination of Chr(10) and Chr(13) instead of Environment.NewLine. Did not help... Can you help!!!
I am using VS2010 Premium Edition and Application Target of 4.0 framework.
I added new textboxes for each lines to my report and set position for them with necessary line spacing.
because Line spacing in textbox properties is not applied.
This is how I do it. (It works only between paragraphs, not within a single paragraph where the lines wrap.) Say the font is 12 pt, and I want a little space between paragraphs, but not full double-spacing. I put the extra line between paragraphs, and then I select that empty line and set the font to 6 pt. If I wanted 1.5 spacing, I'd set it to a larger font.
I have a label field and 3 edit fields. I want characters entered in the label field to be on one line. Can anybody tell me how to do this?
You can check the length of the string using Font.getDefaultFont and call the function stringWidth passing in your label string. If the text is wider then the screen (use Display.getWidth), either make the font smaller or trim it to the size.
Another option is to implement your own field but that seems far more work... :)
