Long text in Table UI Element Column not wrapping

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I'm using a Table UI element that displays some text fields. One of these fields are quite long - 255 chars. I need this text field to wrap if it contains such long data without altering the default layout of the Tale. I cant get this to work. It either extends the column to display all 255 characters (which makes the table FAR too long), or it cuts off the text and I cant see the rest of it.

I have ticked the "wrapping" property of the Textview Text Editor but this doesn't work. I have also played around with otherproperties but cannot do the desired combination.

Please advise,

Christiaan

As a workaround, try to use TEXTEDIT, and the readonly property to true. This will surely wrap the text.

Let me know, if it works.

Go this resolved. I have the following settings:

1. Table property "fixedTableLayout" is un-ticked

2. Cell Editor type TextView property "wrapping" is ticked.

Thanks!

You should read Service Note 1253282 for a good explanation of how the table width works.

Also, consider that wrapping only works if the text is not editable (because an input field does not support multiple lines), and if the text contains "wrappable" characters (like " " or "-").
