Change font.style affects position

jajaja · March 2022

Hello,

After my report-layout is loaded, I change the font.style with the following code :

// At this point, TppLabel(Components[c]).left = 90,7

TppLabel(Components[c]).font.style := TppLabel(Components[c]).font.style -[fsbold];

// At this point, TppLabel(Components[c]).left = 192,8

this code has been working for years without problems. Has something changed in the last version that affacts this ?
And how can I avoid this ?

kind reagrds,

Dirk Janssens,.

The same behaviour is seen designtime in the reportdsigner. Changing fontstyle +/- bold changes the position of labels. Is this a bug ?

Hi Dirk,

I just sent you a patch for RB 21.03 that resolves the issue.

This behavior occurs for specific cases, for example when Label/DBText AutoSize False and TextAlignment RightJustified.

Hi!

We are facing exactly the same problem and addition we found out that changing autosize may cause radical change to layout. We are using RB 21.03.

BEFORE

      object ppLabel1: TppLabel
        mmHeight = 3704
        mmLeft = 122767
        mmTop = 21431
        mmWidth = 42333
        BandType = 0
      end

AFTER setting autosize to false

      object ppLabel1: TppLabel
        AutoSize = False
        mmHeight = 0
        mmLeft = 497703937
        mmTop = 497734099
        mmWidth = 42333
      end
