​​​​​​​Draw.TextFixed Position

[12tkram]

Hi NT bods, I am drawing a text box as below, is there anyway to lower the position from the top right on the Y axis ? I think you can position the text in the box, but I want the box to be a bit lower .. can this be done?

Draw.TextFixed(this, "mytext","mytext", TextPosition.TopRight, ChartControl.Properties.ChartText,
                        ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, Brushes.Black, Brushes.White, 100);

Cheers

Hello 12tkram,

Add /r/n to the text string at the beginning. This will add a new line in the text.

Hi, thanks and yes I can insert a new line, that’s not the problem, the issue is the position of the box. I use a black border, so you just get an extra line between the border and the text. This is not what I require, I require the whole box to be lower on the Y axis.

Hello 12tkram,

There isn't a way to adjust that.

At this point you would need to custom render the text and a rectangle border.

thanks, I thought that might be the case as there was nothing in the docs but wasn't sure if there was a kludge method .. thanks again .. will check it out.
