Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

I have a number of text fields on my report which simply contain variables from the dictionary eg {Field1}

I'm setting this in code at runtime by code similar to :

dim rpt as new Stimusoft.report.stireport
rpt.load("myreport.mrt")
rpt.dictionary.variables("Field1")=" Hello"
rpt.compile
rpt.render
rpt.show

When this displays the word "Hello" appears on the left hand side of the field (ie the leading spaces have been removed).

How do I stop this?

I had a similar problem. It think it is a problem of GDI+.

Was there any solution ?

Yes, you are right. This is problem of GDI+. Please use property Margins of Text component.

Thank you.

Sorry, I'm confused... Can you give me a little more of a pointer.. ? How do you mean "Margins of Text" ???

This property allows you to set the distance between each border and content of StiText. Format of property: left;right;top;bottom

Thank you.
