RB12.03 PrintToFile - xlsReportFile Issue

rbuser

Hi

Following update from 12.03, this now seems to work as I would have expected
with the report obeying the order of the fields set in the Report Wizard.

One question - why does the resultant xls have occasional random blank
columns?

Regards

XLSReport maps a graphical page to a primitive spreadsheet cell format.
There be some slight shifting as elements are mapped to the nearest cell.
Overall it is doing an excellent job. We will continue to fine tune things
as we get more test cases. For left-justified text, the left edges is mapped
to the nearest cell. For right-justified text, the right edge is mapped to
the nearest cell. Adjacent cells are merged based on element width being
translated to cell width. If you set AutoSize to True, the the width is
calculated based on the text width, when AutoSize is false, the element
width is translated to a number of cells.
