When using QP.DrawWrappedText it looks like the leading spaces are removed. So if my original text is

sentence 1<CR><LF>

hdr1 hdr2 hdr3<CR><LF>

a a1 a2<CR><LF>

b1 b2<CR><LF>

c1 c2<CR><LF>

I end up with

sentence 1

hdr1 hdr2 hdr3

a a1 a2

b1 b2

c1 c2

Is there a way of preventing the leading spaces from being trimmed?

Thank you,

John

Change them to non breaking space, I mean char A0 in hex.

What I did is if the first character of each line was a space replace that character with a non-breaking space. The other spaces I left alone. If I replace every space with a non-breaking space then the lines that should word wrap won't.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! I appreciate your help.
