Using QuickPDF 8.16 ActiveX. I am generating a document with an index page and have the index entry text on the left and the related page number of the right. How can I extend the index text (padded with '.' (periods)) to the page number? Example: "Monthly Results...................................................................................109" Thank you for any assistance rendered.

You should be able to calculate using something based on the code below. You will need to determine the value of totalColumWidth your self. It assumes you have the required font currently selected. double left = QP.GetTextWidth("Monthly Results"); double right = QP.GetTextWidth("109"); double dotWidth = QP.GetTextWidth("."); gapToFill = totalColumWidth - left - right; dotsRequired = gapToFill / dotWidth; text = left + DotString(dotsRequired) + right; QP.DrawText(x, y, text); |
