xcelsius 2008 wrap text on any Data Grid Component

[Former Member]

In webi XI 3.1 the text wrap and auto height functionality comes very natural out of the box, with a matter of a click at the properties text format section, wrap text property: yes and at display section, Auto height property: yes, respectively.

Is out there any Data Grid component standard or 3rd partyu2019s for XCELSIUS 2008, where the wrapping and auto height comes as much natural as a matter of a click in the properties of the component?

Hi,

We don't have wrap kind of stuff in spreadsheet or list view. But we have wrapping in Labels.

I hope the Label component may not solve your issue.

I dont have a solution for your problem but i have some alternative for that.

You might have scenarios where you can't show the complete sentence in a table or list view. During that time you can take advantage of insert in of spreadsheet or List view. Instead of mouse click you can use Mouseover.

Throw the labels into some destination cells. Now take a label and place it on the top of your spreadsheet table and bind that label to the destination cell.

Through this when ever you hover on row the complete sentence will be displayed in the label.

Advantages: Space can be utilized and Complete data is shown.

Hope this might help you.

Let me know if you have any other queries.

You can use a Label object found under the 'Text' folder in the component list to enable text wrapping and the Value object under the 'Single Value' folder to do auto-sizing but there is no object that I know of which has both features available. I agree this is somewhat odd and is a bit frustrating. This may need to be something you develop using SDK.

Thanks,

Hi,

The spreadsheet component will stretch and allow text to wrap, but not dynamically. When you bind the Display Data property to a range of cells, if a cell has 'wrap text' set, and is currently showing two lines of text, then the spreadsheet component. However, the component will not update its size or shape as data in those cells changes, so this may not suit your needs.
