[WD 28] TitleHeader

Hi,

I suspect, I'm stuck on a bug. I'm trying to change properties of the Header of a Table column. The header has a single line. So, the Help System's suggested function to change the text size of a Table's column to 15pt would be:

MyTableName.MyColumnName..TitleHeader[1]..FontSize = 15

This is giving an error, saying:

1 is an invalid index
The values of the Table control must be between 1 and 0.

Any suggestions to fix that? I'll send an info to PC Soft Tech Support anyway .. we have two holidays ahead ..

Kind regards,

Hello Guenter,

I don't have V28 but did some investigating in V25 and it did not work there either but, in reading the help I saw a screen shot after the Syntax heading that showed the header with two rows.

The trick seems to be that you have to enable the heading and sub heading option in the table using the "edit title-headers of columns" option in the Details tab of the Table. Without having two header rows setup the [1] option has no valid reference as I imagine the header row would be 0

After setting up that option, it worked for me by nominating the actual column name as :
CREDITORCODE..TitleHeader[1]..FontSize = 15

Hello Guenter,

Kept playing around and may have a solution :

This code is in the Init of a table column. The code is from the TextToRTF help. I have no idea how they get the rtf tags into the string originally but it certainly works in the column caption

sTextInRTF is string
sTextInRTF = TextToRTF("WINDEV is a great tool" + CR +  ...
 "The development is child's play")
 
// sTextInRTF contains the string with the RTF tags: 
// {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0{\fonttbl
// {\f0\froman\fcharset0 Times New Roman;} }
// {\*\generator WDTRAD 1.0;}
// {"WINDEV is a great tool\line 
// Development is child's play} }

MySelf..Caption = sTextInRTF

Hi Al,

thanks a lot for your suggestion with the two header rows!!!! That's a great hint! I'll do a test with it and I'll report the outcome.

The project includes about 100 tables on a lot of windows and a single window that enables our customers to tweak each table to the user's needs and taste. Initially, it contained the means to tweak the row's font, fontsize, color, bold, next I offered the selection bar with background color and color of the selected text. This time I tried to play with the Table Header - only the background color thing worked.

Thank you!
