| Post subject: | Adding a carrige return within the text |
Hello All, Im having a bit of trouble. I am using VB to create a pdf using data from a webspage. I have just added in a text box (multiline) so the user can type some comments and these are then copied to the pdf when a button is clicked. The problem I am having is how to create a carrige return (or new line) in the middle of the text as if I just copy whats there if its too long it just places it off the page. This is what I have so far and it adds the textbox's text to the pdf but it goes off the page if the text is too long. Code: gfx.DrawString("Comments:" & " " & RWETcomments.Text, font, XBrushes.Black, New XRect(20, 555, 0, 0), XStringFormats.TopLeft) Quite difficult to describe, hope it makes sense. Difficult to google as well. |

Hi! Use the XTextFormatter class. It will reflect linebreaks coming from the text, but will also break long lines automatically. |

I have been playing about with the xtextformatter class but to no avail. I have the code below so far but it just puts one long line. Code: Dim text As String = RWETcomments.Text
Dim xtextformatter As New XTextFormatter(gfx) Dim rect As New XRect(40, 100, 250, 220) gfx.DrawRectangle(XBrushes.SeaShell, rect) xtextformatter.Alignment = XParagraphAlignment.Left xtextformatter.DrawString(text, font, XBrushes.Black, rect, XStringFormats.TopLeft) |

You have to replace '\n' by e.g. VBCrLf.Or with similar text specified in your code? You don't show the text you use for testing, you don't show the resulting PDF. Difficult to help with just a small code snippet. XTextFormatter should break lines at any whitespace. Is there whitespace in your test text? |

I am a tool, my fault is cause I just pressed the number 2 so there were no gaps. |
