When i try to print a line of text with tabs(#9) in them, the tabs are trimmed
Text = '- Hardware:'#9#9'Virtual server'
Printer.canvas.FillText(MyRect,Text,False,1,[], TTextAlign.taLeading, TTextAlign.taLeading);
But the tabs are not printed and the text is not seperated.
Is there a function to mimic tabs?
Maybe you can add your text lines to a TMemo with memo1.lines.add and then use memo1.PaintTo to paint the formatted text to the printer canvas ? Depends if you can make do with a single font and the limited formatting of Tmemo.
Otherwise you have to work out the tab positions and draw the words individually.

I want to display some Hebrew text using Text and TextPath. In plain HTML5 it seems the best way is to set the dir attribute on the canvas to rtl (HTML5 Canvas fillText with Right-to-Left string). How do I do that in Konva?
const canvas = layer.getCanvas()._canvas;
canvas.setAttribute('dir', 'rtl');

Is it possible to enter from keyboard special Unicode characters, link the ones below?
U+2603 ☃ SNOWMAN
U+2604 ☄ COMET
U+2605 ★ BLACK STAR
U+2606 ☆ WHITE STAR
U+2607 ☇ LIGHTNING
U+2608 ☈ THUNDERSTORM
U+2609 ☉ SUN
U+260A ☊ ASCENDING NODE
U+260B ☋ DESCENDING NODE
I would like for example to have buttons with up/down arrows in them, without loading images.
I have tried entering Alt+08593 on keyboard but other character (than the expected arrow) will be inserted.
Update:
The reason for this is LAZINESS. I am too lazy to search for icons or create my own icons. For example you can simply replace the notorious 'save' floppy disk icon. Just take a look at: 💾. BAM! Nice. Right?
Update:
It seems some characters such as 📗 (green book = 128215) are not accepted by Delphi, with copy/paste.
Update:
There is nice component that allows you to put unicode chanracters in a image list:
https://github.com/EtheaDev/IconFontsImageList
The Delphi IDE won't accept ALT key codes that high. A couple of alternatives:
Paste the text from somewhere else.
Enter the numeric code directly in the .dfm file.
As an example of the second approach, try this in your .dfm file for the button caption property:
Caption = #8592#8593#8594#8595
You also mention Green Book U+1F4D7. That is from outside the BMP, and hence encoded with a surrogate pair:
Caption = #55357#56535
My guess is that as soon as you want your glyphs to be shown in colour, or at a different size, you will find that using text makes this impossible. You are also likely to encounter fonts that don't contain glyphs for the characters you select. So you will find that using images is the most robust approach.
Or, alternatively, if you had a table of the decimal values:
9731 ☃ SNOWMAN
9732 ☄ COMET
9733 ★ BLACK STAR
9734 ☆ WHITE STAR
9735 ☇ LIGHTNING
9736 ☈ THUNDERSTORM
9737 ☉ SUN
9738 ☊ ASCENDING NODE
9739 ☋ DESCENDING NODE
then you can use the keyboard as follows in Delphi.
To change the caption of Button1 to be the snowman:
Press Alt+F12 to edit the form as text
Press Ctrl+E to enter incremental search mode
Type Button1, or as much of it as is required to locate the definition of Button1
To the right of the Caption = property definition (I'm assuming VCL here) enter # followed by the relevant Unicode value, e.g. #9731
Caption = #9731
If you want text as well as the snowman, the character code goes outside quotes, so e.g.
Caption = 'Snowman = '#9731
More info on the # syntax (which is more commonly entered in Delphi source, rather than in the text view of form files) can be found by reading about control strings, as they are actually called, in the online documentation.
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.
Hi I'm using LateX. I have a block of text that I'd like to have a small box like space highlighting the are (just like a \begin{equation} but for text).
Is there such a thing in LateX?
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking I'm afraid, but if you just want to indent text with a margin on each side of the page to make it stand out, you can use...
\begin{quotation}
Quotation is good for long blocks of text that you want highlighted
\end{quotation}
\begin{quote}
Quote is suited to a single block of quoted text.
\end{quote}
If you actually want to have a physical black box around the text, you might want to consider wrapping it in a tabular / table, or you might want to delve into minipages and/or par box environments...
Is \makebox what you're looking for?
To create boxes of text that behave differently from the rest of the text, we can use
\makebox[width][pos]{text}
The width sets the width the of the box. The pos sets the positioning of the text - either r (right justified text), l (left justified), or s (stretched to fill the box). If the pos parameter is left out, as in \makebox[1in]{centerme}, the text is centered. The text is placed in the box. If you want to draw a box around the text, use \framebox just as you would use \makebox.
\mbox{text} and \fbox{text} are quick versions of \makebox and \framebox, which create a box to fit the size of the text.

I have some text and quotation marks around it, but I want each of them to be a different font to be replaced by sifr. The problem is that the quotes need to go exactly around the text, but the text once turned into an tag becomes a block and the text isn't shaped necessarily like a rectangle. I thought about having the quotes be background images of the replaced text, but only safari 3 supports multiple background images. Any suggestions?
I don't think Flash provides enough control over text elements to get this as precise as you'd like.
