Hi all,I have text generated numbers (not bitmaps) to show altitude. As I scroll through altitude, each of the 5 digit numbers tend to jump horizontally according to the number mix, that is, some numbers seem to be wider than others and tend to push adjacent numbers which imparts a sideways movement. Is it possible using formatted text and tabs to position each digit so the digits remain in the same fixed horizontal position, as if they are produced on an LCD screen?Many thanks,Nick.

Hi,You can use 4 scrolling numbers and adjust them right.Of course a lot more code (b747 pfd altimeter)At least 4 rows with 6 elements each for the 10000%, 1000%, 100% and 10%.But it gives a nice effect.Both plain - and formatted text will do.Jan"Beatus Ille Procul Negotiis"http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/85459.jpg
