Cursor Positioning

[tg]

Hi,

Just started with RB.

I am trying to position TEXT at a specific row/column on screen.

Wanted to know of there is a way to position the cursor as such.

None of commands I saw allowed for that.

Thx.

Positioning is done via CSS, see www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp
So you specify the right CSS style for you object using CSSCLASS or CSSID

Hi,
Here is a listing that does everything you asked.
The listing places jpg pictures on every spot you want.
The listing places text at every spot you want.
The listing uses fancy fonts like asimov and algerian.

There are two things still missing in RB?
1. To place a imagebutton on every spot you want ... you need HTML.
(with some CSS and DIV)
2. After RENDER a gif picture will lose its transparent background.
so here you need HTML again.

I guess that Carl is working on both items right now.
