I was wondering if I could put a line drawing into a Richedit.
Thinking:
This is a line of text (would allow up to 133 chars).
_________|_________|_________|_________|_________|_________|_________|_________|_________|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
But where _________| is done with a LINE command. I want smaller |'s for each single char, a slightly larger | for 5's and then the largest | for the 10's.
Working on creating a text editor to split reports into some thing that can be easily loaded into a Spread Sheet from a flat file.
Thanks,
Bill
PS, I create a lot of spread sheets for work off of reports sent to the printer, so I am thinking of something that I can add tab's or comma's between fields and if the field is numeric, but the negative sign is after the number or it has ()'s to show negatives, I want to convert it to a standard numeric, with the - sign in front of the number.
Bill,
Why not make your own font up? Should be easy enough

Brian's right,

Quote from: undefinedBox-drawing characters, also known as line-drawing characters, are a form of semigraphics widely used in text user interfaces to draw various geometric frames and boxes.
─────┴─────Unfortunately, these are only drawn correctly in unicode, you would need a richedit unicode to do it.
Alternatively you could make a small image for each "necessary block" and paste as appropriate.
