Hi,

I cannot get any of the functions involving textboxes to work (including the fittextBox and rotatetextbox. The following is a very basic sample of code:

QP := TiSEDQuickPDF.Create;
try
    QP.UnlockKey('MyUnlockKey');
    QP.SelectPage(1);
    QP.SetOrigin(1);
    QP.AddStandardFont(4);
    qp.DrawTextBox(100, 100, 100, 100, 'Hello', 0);

This produces nothing.

If I change the last line to

qp.DrawText(100, 100, 'Hello');

I get my text.

I have searched the forum. I cannot see anyone reporting this problem. Everyone else seems to be able to use these functions ok.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Mark

I have run your sample and got the right result.

Perhaps something else in your code is wrong ?

Try to control the return values form your functions

Basically, that is the code!

I have got around it (in a way which is actually more convenient for what I need to do). I first draw the box (DrawBox etc) and then call the function to draw the textbox. The latter function only outputs the text in any event.

All very puzzling, but it seems to work just fine!

Thanks for the reply
