Print Method 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"
        .FontSize = 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
