Error about CharSpacing

peong · Post by **peong** » Sun Oct 30, 2005 5:21 pm

I discovered a strange result in setting a value below:

RVStyle1.TextStyles[0].CharSpacing := SpinNo;

when SpinNo = -4, the charcpacing actually increate from -3. ??

My version is still 1.8.1, don't know that this error is't sloved in 1.9.8

Please help, thanks!

Value of this property is interpreted by WinAPI. It is passed to SetTextCharacterExtra function.

Hi Sergey,
I see, but can this problem solve in Richview as we are using the RVStyle to assign value?

Hi Sergey,

Now I know why, it's because when compression meet the edge between two characters, further compression will first cause a 'unlogic' response. value of -4 mentioned is actually when font size at 10.

As I said, currently this value is interpreted by Windows (SetTextCharacterExtra function).
If you have a better suggestion, let me know.
