Example

The following example uses the Print method to display text on a report named Report1. It uses the TextWidth and TextHeight methods to center the text vertically and horizontally.

  Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, _
        FormatCount As Integer)
    Dim rpt as Report
    Dim strMessage As String
    Dim intHorSize As Integer, intVerSize As Integer
Set rpt = Me
strMessage = "DisplayMessage"
With rpt
    'Set scale to pixels, and set FontName and
    'FontSize properties.
    .ScaleMode = 3
    .FontName = "Courier"
    .<strong class="bterm">FontSize</strong> = 24
End With
' Horizontal width.
intHorSize = Rpt.TextWidth(strMessage)
' Vertical height.
intVerSize = Rpt.TextHeight(strMessage)
' Calculate location of text to be displayed.
Rpt.CurrentX = (Rpt.ScaleWidth/2) - (intHorSize/2)
Rpt.CurrentY = (Rpt.ScaleHeight/2) - (intVerSize/2)
' Print text on Report object.
Rpt.Print strMessage

End Sub
