Display the text vertically

[Natter]

Hello !

Is it possible in the cell of xBrowse to display the text vertically ?

[nageswaragunupudi]

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "fivewin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd, oFont, oVert, oBrw
   local aData := { { "One", "Five Win" }, { "Two", "Hello World" }}

   DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-12
   DEFINE FONT oVert NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-12 NESCAPEMENT 900

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd
   oWnd:SetFont( oFont )

   @ 0,0 XBROWSE oBrw OF oWnd DATASOURCE aData AUTOCOLS ;
      HEADERS "First", "Second" ;
      LINES NOBORDER

   WITH OBJECT oBrw:aCols[ 1 ]
      :oHeaderFont   := oVert
      :oDataFont     := oVert
   END
   oBrw:nRowHeight   := 100

   oBrw:CreateFromCode()
   oWnd:oClient := oBrw

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd CENTERED
   RELEASE FONT oFont, oVert

return nil
 

I have to agree, the vertical alignment of the text in the cells is not correct.
We need to improve this.

Please also let us know the version of FWH you are using.

I think it does not take vertical text alignment. In the header and data . It is possible to do so ?

As I said, we need to do some improvements and we shall do.
But basically it is possible and easy to paint vertical text in headers and cells.

Sorry , I had not fully read the post .

FWH15.10 now paints vertical text in cells honoring the nDataStrAlign.

This is what we need. Thank, Mr. Rao !

Is it possible in XBrowse horizontal merging of cells (a la Excel) ?

No
Only vertical merging.

Good mornign Mr. Rao, I know this is an old post, but when trying to use it I get the next error:

this is teh part on the code:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

    WITH OBJECT oBrw:aCols[ 1 ]
        :oDataFont     := oVert
        :bPaintText    := { | oCol, hDC, cData, aRect, aColors, lHighLite, lSelected | ;
                          PaintText( oCol, hDC, cData, aRect, aColors, lHighLite, lSelected ) }
    END

The above program compiles and executes perfectly here.
Please check if you copied the program correctly.

[nageswaragunupudi]

This was the proposed program for very old versions.
For all recent versions, this is extremely simple.

Simple assignment of vertical font is enough.

This sample works.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "fivewin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd, oFont, oVert, oBrw
   local aData := { { "One", "Five Win" }, { "Two", "Hello World" }}

   DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-12
   DEFINE FONT oVert NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-12 NESCAPEMENT 900

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd
   oWnd:SetFont( oFont )

   @ 0,0 XBROWSE oBrw OF oWnd DATASOURCE aData AUTOCOLS ;
      HEADERS "First", "Second" ;
      LINES NOBORDER

   WITH OBJECT oBrw:aCols[ 1 ]
      :oHeaderFont   := oVert
      :oDataFont     := oVert
   END
   oBrw:nRowHeight   := 80

   oBrw:CreateFromCode()
   oWnd:oClient := oBrw

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd CENTERED
   RELEASE FONT oFont, oVert

return nil

You are totally right Mr. Rao, I failed to expalin correctly what I wanted.
The first column of my xbrowse has the branch the employees are assigned to, and i have it merged, what I really wanted to achieve was to show the text in vertical orientation in to the merged cells, and the example you provide shows the vertical text in one row only.

I hope this can be achieved, only for aesthetic reasons

If you use CRLF (Line Feed) then I think you got what you need.

From Mr. Rao's sample (above)

local aData := { { "One"+CRLF+"TWO", "Five Win" }, { "Two"+CRLF+"DRIE", "Hello World" }}
