OpenInsight Specific

We have a DOS (AREV) app that draws graphs on the screen using the upper end ascii characters (185 to 223) and I would like to find a way to draw these in windows, preferably in a Rich Text box. If any of you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks,

Bryan

Bryan,

The MS Draw font may have characters you can use.

Set the font of your control to MS Draw

and fill it with char(185) - char(223) and

see what you get:
Text='
for C=185 to 223
	Text := char(C)
next C
OldVal=Set_Property( @Window : ".EDITBOX", "TEXT", Text )

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention I was using Visual Basic for the front end and I was using their Rich Text edit control. Also, I don't have the MS Draw font. Is there another font that will do it?

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Try the 'MS LineDraw' font. I you don't have a copy, drop me a line and I'll email you one.
