Print MSFlexgrid Aligned [RESOLVED]

Im having a spot of bother printing my flexgrid.
I use the following code (copied from here somewhere)

VB Code:

Dim strRowText As String
        With ResGrid
            For i = 0 To .Rows - 1
                strRowText = ""
                strRowText = strRowText & .TextMatrix(i, 0) & vbTab & vbTab
                For j = 1 To .Cols - 1
                    strRowText = strRowText & .TextMatrix(i, j) & vbTab
                Next j
                Printer.Print vbTab & vbTab & strRowText
            Next i
        End With

This prints out a nice grid until one of the row headers is too long.

How can I align this properly?

for that you need to either print each cell individually (using the printers CurrentX and CurrentY to specify the current position), or make the text in the left hand column the same printed width by adding spaces (which I'm afraid isn't accurate - as all character sizes vary)

Printer.CurrentX = 115 - Printer.TextWidth("1.114,55")
Printer.CurrentY = 50
Printer.Print "1.114,55"

prints 1.114,55 from right to left starting at point 115

CurrentX doesn't seem to work because I want to set it
differently for each word on the same line.
I was under the impression that Printer.Print couldn't be
used to print part of a line at a time

The answer appears to be in this post.

Using commas for separate print zones or Tab(n) to separate.
I'm having a mind block on how to implement it though!

I decided on a workaround that was simpler to implement.
I put in an If statement to see if the header was longer than a Tab.

VB Code:

Dim strRowText As String
 
        With ResGrid
            For i = 0 To .Rows - 1
                strRowText = ""
                'Row header. ie device name
                If TextWidth(ResGrid.TextMatrix(i, 0)) < 600 Then
                    strRowText = strRowText & .TextMatrix(i, 0) & vbTab & vbTab
                Else
                    strRowText = strRowText & .TextMatrix(i, 0) & vbTab
                End If
                'Numbers in table
                For j = 1 To .Cols - 1
                    strRowText = strRowText & .TextMatrix(i, j) & vbTab
                Next j
                Printer.Print vbTab & vbTab & strRowText
            Next i
        End With

Im fairly certain that it will work in this application as the length of the header is restricted elsewhere.
Not as robust as I would like though.

Sub CabeçalhoMapa(Grelha As MSFlexGrid)
Dim Abcissa As Integer
Abcissa = 15
Printer.ScaleMode = vbMillimeters

Printer.Line (1, 1 + Abcissa)-(Printer.ScaleWidth, 7 + Abcissa), vbBlue, BF
With Printer
.FontSize = 14
.FontBold = True
.ForeColor = vbBlue
.CurrentX = 1
.CurrentY = 1
Printer.Print "CDCA - NATAÇÃO"
.ForeColor = vbWhite
.FontSize = 10
.CurrentX = 2
.CurrentY = 1 + Abcissa
SetBkMode Printer.hdc, TRANSPARENT
Printer.Print Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 0)
.CurrentX = 70
.CurrentY = 1 + Abcissa
SetBkMode Printer.hdc, TRANSPARENT
Printer.Print Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 1)
.CurrentX = 115 - Printer.TextWidth(Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 2))
.CurrentY = 1 + Abcissa
SetBkMode Printer.hdc, TRANSPARENT
Printer.Print Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 2)
.CurrentX = 135 - Printer.TextWidth(Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 3))
.CurrentY = 1 + Abcissa
SetBkMode Printer.hdc, TRANSPARENT
Printer.Print Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 3)
.CurrentX = 155 - Printer.TextWidth(Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 4))
.CurrentY = 1 + Abcissa
SetBkMode Printer.hdc, TRANSPARENT
Printer.Print Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 4)
.CurrentX = 175 - Printer.TextWidth(Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 5))
.CurrentY = 1 + Abcissa
SetBkMode Printer.hdc, TRANSPARENT
Printer.Print Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 5)
.CurrentX = 195 - Printer.TextWidth(Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 6))
.CurrentY = 1 + Abcissa
SetBkMode Printer.hdc, TRANSPARENT
Printer.Print Grelha.TextMatrix(0, 6)
End With


End Sub

As you can see, CurrentX can be assigned more then once for a single line.

Suddenly it all becomes clear! :bigyello:

Thanks! :thumb:
