Multi-column dot matrix report

edited 12:07PM in FastReport 3.0
I??m trying to create a dot matrix report with 2 columns in a master band and a 5 character gap between each column.

Each band have 2 lines of text. The first one is printed in normal text, and the second is printed in wide character. The problem is that the first line keep 5 chars gap, and the second line, wich is wide, also keep 5 chars gap. As the width of wide char is bigger the width of normal char, the second column is not printed the way it had to be.

How can I solve this problem? I tried to change the gap in code (OnBeforePrint), but doesn??t worked.

tks

    I had the same problem and use a workaround:
    the problem ist that FR cannot handle multi-column component-positioning errorfree in a dmr-report. I added a Dummy-memo-field with no content with a width from start of the row to the field with the data, so fr can calculate the postion of the data correctly:
    ____________XDATAFIELDX
    XDUMMYFIELDXDATAFIELDX

    not really a big thing, but it works.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
