Hello,
You can use the windows character map to type special symbols. For example to print a beta sign you can type Alt + 0223 and it will print a beta sign. similarly you can check the keystroke availble from document map and type straight into the textbox text property.
To access character map you can go to Start button, going to Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map
Or you can type charmap in Run.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hello Gaurav,
thanks a lot for your reply.
To be more precise my problem is, I have a textBox Control in the report, which should show a Text containing the Symbols alpha and or beta.
ALT + 0223 looks similar to beta, but is sharp S of the German keyboard.
ALT + 0945 (Unicode decimal 945 and following are the greek lower case letters alpha,....
But they do not show up in the report. Is the Textbox Control able to display UNICODE - Text or not?
Is there a configuration option to show unicode-Text? I noticed in the script editor I can enter ... .Text = "". When I close and reopen the script editor alpha is cast to a simple "a". Furthermore I tried to use .Text = chrw(945).
Might another control be a solution?
In behalve of Luzia
Patrik
Thanks

Patrick,
You could use Chrw(64) for the alpha sign and Chrw(946) for the beta sign. Further, you could also save the string containing the special characters into an unicode text file, and then load the contents thereof into the report as text or image. Try code as:-
Me.Field1.Text=Chrw(64) & "Text" & ChrW(946)
Regards,
Prantik

Hello Prantik
We didn't have any chance to print Alpha or Beta Sign with our CorporateIdentity-Font.
So I made the following workaround: I made a new control with the wanted Sign, chose font symbol and then positioned this one in front of the control which causes my problem. it is kind of a title and so the combination of those two controls seams to be one sentence. As a compromise, the following flowing text we do without the sign and write the word alpha or beta instead.
BTW: we are using Version 2.5.0.1309 of ActiveReports
Regards,
Luzia
