Hello Paul,

I found the problem,.
I'm using Clarion 9.1 and the COM control.

In Clarion strings are wrapped in single quotes.
So in my PDF form class...

    SELF.FillBox_C3('Fresno, CA 93721') !The form's box C3 would be filled with 'Fresno, CA 93721'

later I would call my DrawText() Method wrapper and passed it the X,Y & Value parameters...
  
   Result = PDF_Container{'DrawText('& pX &','& pY &','& pValue &')'}           



Which would result in the text not displaying on the form. But I found I needed to wrap the text string with double quotes and now all is working fine.

Changed it to...
Result = PDF_Container{'DrawText('& pX &','& pY &',"'& pValue &'")'}           
Now the pValue is wrapped when passed to the COM control.

It seems that most methods work with the single quoted strings,while others may choke. So I've went back to my base class and made sure all passed strings are now wrapped in double quotes.


Thanks,


Dave]]> Tue, 22 Jul 2014 18:00:42 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/drawtext-and-commas_topic2940_post11875.html#11875 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/drawtext-and-commas_topic2940_post11872.html#11872 Author: Paul

Hello all,
I just started playing with the library and I have run into this while using DrawText()...

I have a string that contains a comma inside it, which causes the string NOT to be drawn when using DrawText(). If the comma is removed, the string is drawn.

What would cause this?

Thanks

Dave
