[Solved] PrintString Question
Sep 29th, 2007 at 12:07pm
Print Post Print Post  
I am experimenting with PrintString for the first time and I am having difficulties in aligning a money element.  I would like the alignment to be right instead of the default left.

Any help gratefully received.  I am using Sesame v2.

Thanks Don

Version 2 added an alignment argument to PrintString. Check out the new documentation.

Hi Erika

I had read that but couldn't work out where to place it in the programming.

This is what I am using

PrintString("£" + @Decimals(Sup_Cost, 2), 650, 600, 0, " Arial", 16, 0)

Thanks

Don

I don't have a printer here, but try something like this.

GLOBAL CODE
#include "sbasic_include.sbas"

YOUR OTHER EVENT
    PrintString("£" + @Decimals(Sup_Cost, 2), 650, 600, 100, " Arial", 16, 0, PRINTSTRING_ALIGN_RIGHT)

The 100 in the 4th argument sets the width to which you want to right-align. Adjust as needed.

Hi Erika

Thanks very much.  I hadn't put anything in the GLOBAL CODE, so when I had put PRINTSTRING_ALIGN_RIGHT in the correct place all I got was an error on testing.

We live and learn.

Thanks  Don
