Word Wrap

Text that cannot fit on one line is trimmed by default. To avoid this, and allow text to fill multiple lines, set the TextOptions.WordWrap property to True. Horizontal and vertical alignments are used when the text is wrapped on a new line.

Trimming

The TextOptions.Trimming property makes it possible to customize text trimming.

1. None – With the “None” value selected, the text is trimmed by the edge of the text component. Multiline text is trimmed by the last word.

2. Character – With the “Character” value selected, the text line is trimmed after the last completely visible character.

3. Word – With the “Word” value selected, the text line is trimmed after the last completely visible word.

4. Ellipsis Character – With the “Ellipsis Character” value selected, the text line is trimmed after the last completely visible character, but an ellipsis is added to the end.

5. Ellipsis Word – With the “Ellipsis Word” value selected, the text line is trimmed after the last completely visible word, but an ellipsis is added to the end.

6. Ellipsis Path – With the “Ellipsis Path” value selected, the text line is trimmed in the middle, so the beginning and end of the text line remain visible.

Line Limit

When the TextOptions.LineLimit property is set to true full lines are output as opposed to being vertically cut off.

When there is no additional line, this property may change the word wrap.

Underlining

The Text Additional > Lines Of Underline property can be used to underline text with horizontal lines. There are different styles of underlining available, as can be seen in Figures 12 and 13.

Max Number of Lines

To increase the maximum amount of horizontal lines in a text component, use the Text Additional > Max Number Of Lines Property. This property is equal to zero by default, and the component increases vertically. Page size limits the component increasing. Setting the value of the property to five increases the horizontal lines by five when the vertical size increases.

Text Rotation

Text rotation is determined with the Text Additional > Angle property. The angle is given in degrees, anticlockwise.

Processing Duplicates

The Text Additional > Processing Duplicates property allows for the combination of duplicate values. The values for the ProcessingDuplicates can be seen in Figure 18.

1. Remove Text – The “Remove Text” value keeps the first text component AND the text content, but removes all duplicate text content. This value leaves blank text components.

2. Hide – The “Hide” value removes both the text content and the text components from all duplicates after the first.

3. Merge – The “Merge” value combines duplicates into a single text component.

Combining components with the same value is taken into account in the name of the components of the report template. Text Components that have the same text content, but different names, are not merged. The Global Merge, Global Remove Text, and Global Hide values can be used to avoid this limitation.

Ignoring Null Values

If it is not necessary to print zeros in your report, use the Hide Zeros property to remove them. Setting the property to true prevents the text component from printing zero values.

Shrink Font to Fit and Shrink Font to Fit Minimum Size Properties

The Shrink Font To Fit property is used to adjust the height of the text to the size of the text component. The Shrink Font To Fit Minimum Size property controls the minimum size the font can be reduced to.
