Self created Visio listbox

[kippi]

Hi everyone,

in order to show one-on-one messages in Visio like in a listbox I
append a CRLF (\n in C++) at the end of each message. Example: The
string "Message 1\nMessage 2\nMessage 3" appears as shape

Message 1
Message 2
Message 3

After adding each new message the shape is growing symmetrically to
upwards and to downwards. The middle of the shape stays at the same y
coordinate.

For my purpose the shape with the strings may increase only downwards
(the top string has to keep the same y coordinate). It means I have to
move the shape down.

How can I determine the y coordinate distance between e.g. Message 1
and Message 2 in above example? The value Height in the section Shape
Transform (Shape sheet window) is not correct.

Thank for any hint,
Kippi

Hi, Kippi.

Maybe, VerticalAlign = 0 in Text Block Format section of shape sheet.
