Smartform/Smartstyle multi column output

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

is it possible to output text in more than one column in the main window? Requirements are to output contract terms (not a fixed length, depending on some business logic) in more than one column. These contract terms are stored in several textmodules wich will be included dynamically. This means i cannot use templates (fixed height) and tables (how to manage column breaks, e.g. if col1 is filled with text from module, the text should be outputed to col2).

Again, my question is only how to output text in two columns without using templates and tables - the rest is no prob.

thanks, best, mm

Hi

You can split the text in text module into two different variables and use them to display the data as 2 columns.

Text gets wrapped based on the width and height of the cell/template.

Hi Raj,

thanks for the answer, but as it is not a fixed length text and a dynamic include of a textmodule, i cannot split this text - any other idea?

bye, mm

btw. how do you suggest to determine where to split the text...
