How to show long text in TextView control in formatted form?

[ChandraMahajan]

Hi,

I have requirement to show long text from backend text edit control to WD application. I am using READ_TEXT Fm to read the long text and passing it to text view UI element.

The text is shown in simply one long line but I want it to show in the same format as stored in backend textedit control.

If I take textedit UI control then it shows the text in formatted form.

Could you please let me know how to achieve these for TextView control? My requirement is that I have to use only TextView control.

Thanks,

Hi Chandrasekhar,

use cl_abap_char_utitilities=>newline to fill the attribute which is attached to the text view UI element.

Also check this forum thread for more information.

Hi Chandra,

Use cl_abap_char_utilities=>new_line you will get the solution.

check the forum thread link which i posted in previous post.

or else the othe option you have is Text Edit.

use new_line to populate the string then bind the string to Text Edit element but check the Read only property of text edit to make display only.

Hi,

The Problem solved to some extend but still the exact formatting is not happening though i am using cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.

for eg. if the long text is as below.

"To display the external component, you can now embed an interface view of any window of this component in a window of your current embedding a view of oneu2019s own component. By setting up navigation from one outbound plug of a view of your inbound plug of the inter external component, you enable the external component to be displayed. New line ."

and if in backend the Last line " New line ." is on next line, on WD it is not displayed on next line.

if your requirement is ONLY to show the formatted text, you can very well use FORMATTED_TEXT_VIEW ui element.
