Hi all, hope someone can help me.
The question is: How I can calculate the column in which I print when I use a non-proportional font (Arial)

for we=1 to len(aColumnaIMP)
cImpCol:=aColumnaIMP[we]
Long:=len(aColumnaIMP[we])

if esunnumero(cImpCol)
@ nFila,nColumna DCPRINT SAY cImpCol+" " ALIGN DCPRINT_ALIGN_RIGHT font cFuente COLOR nColor ,naColor WIDTH nLong+1
else

@ nFila,nColumna DCPRINT SAY cImpCol+" " ALIGN DCPRINT_ALIGN_LEFT font cFuente COLOR nColor ,naColor WIDTH nLong+1
endif
// nColSize := oPrinter:ColSize()*4
nColumna+=nLong+1

next

Thanks for your help
Miguel

I don't understand your question.

Are you saying that you want to align the right side of the text at a specified column?

Hi Roger I print multiple columns of text and numeric and wish that align with a font (Arial).

thanks

The separation between columns is huge if I use as calculation to column size.

As I can automatically calculate the position of each column using Arial

It looks as your "referencia" is a string with lot of spaces. You calculate the lenght for the entire string. If there are 20 spaces, it will never be fine.

Otherwise with a proportional font you can calculate only an extimate. A string with WWWW is a lot wider than IIII. It is also depended if it is uppercase or not.

You can use a coefficient that you can use after some testing.
Example: nColumna+=nLong/1.3+1

You can also calculate the width of a string in pixels, but since it depends on the characters inside the string, the result will be different for each line. So what is a correct width for the first line of your report, is maybe not correct for the second line.

Thanks for the help, the ank reference is only 15 characters and as you will see there is a lot more separation.
I think the right thing would be to know how to calculate the length of a string in PIXEL since as you say not all the characters occupy the same.
Coefficient proves you indicate me and I will hang the result

thanks

As you see with the factor has improved but not solved.
The question is to know how to calculate the length of a string to PIXEL is no proportioning font (ARIAL)
I need a similar function LEN () but Pixel

Greetings and thanks

Look at DC_GraQueryTextBox()

Thank you all for your help but scratch that solved it with the following function :

nCol+=DC_GraQueryTextBox(replicate ("W", Nlong + (int (Nlong * 0.8))), cFuente) [1]

Look GraQueryTexBox():
Example:
aText:=GraQueryTexBox(NIL,VarC)
Length:=aText[3,1]-aText[1,1]
