Funky Text Spacing

[Matthew Schumaker]

I''m using 3.2.1.0 and I''m seeing some weird text spacing issues. In the attached BMP, you can see that on the fourth line, the spacing between ''fa'' changes. This is rather strange. I don''t see how I can fix this. Has anyone else seen this? -Matt

Hi Matthew,

The actual editors like the textbox and richtextbox rely on the win32 GDI drawing code to draw the editing text. But the static draw code uses the .NET GDI+ to draw the strings, hence the weird behavior. Try the below work around to see if that helps.

this.gridControl1.DrawCellDisplayText += new GridDrawCellDisplayTextEventHandler(gridControl1_DrawCellDisplayText);

private void gridControl1_DrawCellDisplayText(object sender, GridDrawCellDisplayTextEventArgs e)
{
Rectangle r = e.TextRectangle;
r.Offset(2, 0);
GridGdiPaint.Instance.DrawText(e.Graphics, e.DisplayText, r, e.Style);
e.Cancel = true;
}

Regards,
Calvin.

I''m using a GridGroupingControl and It doesn''t seem to have that event

Hi Matthew,

In the GridGroupingControl the DrawCellDisplayText event can be found under the gridGroupingControl1.TableControl. Below is a code snippet.

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.DrawCellDisplayText += new GridDrawCellDisplayTextEventHandler(TableControl_DrawCellDisplayText);
