m_strNoItems and word wrap

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I want to display a message that is a little bit longer than normal when the list has no entries in it because there are some things the user may want to consider in this case. My problem is that the message in m_strNoItems doesn't wrap. I have hard coded some newlines as a temporary fix, but since this control may be wider depending on user options, this is a bad workaround.

I'd like to modify this in the codejock files but first I have to make sure my code won't be broken again when I get the next version.

More to the point, could you add DT_WORDBREAK to the flags on line 1061 of xtpreportcontrol.cpp? This is a call to DrawText() inside the function DrawRows(). I have already tested this and the results are acceptable.
