Can you overstrike characters in an AnsiString?

[ronk]

Hello everyone

I have a TLabel and I would like to put a bar directly over a character in the caption. What I mean is, a common symbol for the average of x, is x with a line directly above it. I was wondering if one could use something like

AnsiString aStr="x" + ? + AnsiString(char(175));

where ? is some kind of control character that causes the bar (char(175)) to overstrike the x. Does anyone know how to do this, or if it is possible? Thank you for any help.

I don't know of any way to overline characters. However, if you use a font containing mathematical symbols, you will probably find an x-bar character.

Or you can create your own font, it is very simple
