aspSmartImage - addText

[krabban]

This is working:

oSmartImage.FontFace = strImageFontFace
oSmartImage.FontColor = strImageFontColor
oSmartImage.AddText  [b]"Test me!!"[/b], strVAlign, strHAlign

This is not working:

oSmartImage.FontFace = strImageFontFace
oSmartImage.FontColor = strImageFontColor
oSmartImage.AddText  [b]strImageText[/b], strVAlign, strHalign

How do I do to be able to insert dynamic text!?

You have done a Response.Write to make suyre the string is set correctly and isn't empty, etc?

Which version of ASPImage are you using? The properties your using don't appear to be avalable from looking at the 2.x documentation...?

aspSmartImage and ASPImage is not the same software.

http://www.aspsmart.com/aspSmartImage/

Some more relevant code:

' ## ADD TEXT
IF strImageText <> "" THEN
response.write strImageText & "<BR>"  & typeName(strImageText)
	oSmartImage.FontFace = strImageFontFace
	oSmartImage.FontColor = strImageFontColor
	oSmartImage.FontBold = bolBold
'	oSmartImage.AddText  "Test me!!", strVAlign, strHAlign
	oSmartImage.AddText  strImageText, strVAlign, strHAlign
END IF


Errormessage:

this is a test...

This is working!

' ## ADD TEXT
IF strImageText <> "" THEN
response.write strImageText & "<BR>"  & typeName(strImageText)
    oSmartImage.FontFace = strImageFontFace
    oSmartImage.FontColor = strImageFontColor
    oSmartImage.FontBold = bolBold
'    oSmartImage.AddText  "Test me!!", strVAlign, strHAlign
    oSmartImage.AddText  [b]CStr(strImageText)[/b], strVAlign, strHAlign
END IF

Hmm, odd, they must have programmed that Image object to expect a literal string type, forgetting that everything in ASP is a variant (wel, in VBScript at least). The cStr forces it to pass a string type, satisfying their requirements.

Glad you worked it out, sorry I was on the wrong track before, I was working with ASPImage earlier in the day and must have missed the "Smart" in your post heading
