How can I automatically word wrap a string placed in a (multicolumn) listbox ?

Hello,
Using LabView 7.0:
I need to automatically wrap text inserted in a multicolumn listbox.
The size of the listbox is fixed and I don't know the legth of the string that will be inserted. But the whole string must be visible, because it's Information is important
I'm not allowed to use a fixed width font. :-(
Has anyone any ideas (or a solution already?)
How can I compute the length of a string in pixel to calculate to position to wrap?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Rainer

Hi Veena,
The trick is to use the Get Text Rect.vi to calculate where to wrap your text string. There's no feature to automatically wrap the string for you, so you will have to split you string into sections/lines, that doesn't exceed the width of the column in the listbox.
Good luck!

  • When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?

    When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?
    It was easy to do prior to mavericks using system preferences (language and text), but now I can only submit a 2 letter word to replace, not a 1 letter word. I have tried using a space but it doesn't allow that. I would assume that most people would love to be able to type quickly without having to make uppercase I all the time (first world problem i know), so I can't understand why apple have removed this feature.

    There is the shift key, or text replacement approach, providing you have enabled two things:
    Edit > Substitution > √ Text Replacement
    System Preferences > Keyboard > TextClick + to add a replacement
    Replaceii[spacebar]
    With
    I[spacebar]
    Press return
    Quit System Preferences
    Now, when you type ii, you will see a pop-up offering I.
    In the OS X App Store, search for WordService. This free collection of Services will enable you to just type your content, select it, and then choose the Service item, “Initial Caps of Sentences.” It does what it says.

  • Automatic word wrapping in context help window?

    Hello together
    I don't get the way how labview does the automatic word wrapping in the context help window. Does somebody know that?
    regards
    Woodi

    I see my problem. Everytime I do just a single carriage return, or a return, the automatic line wrapping doesn't work. But it works fine, if I do two carriage returns.
    This is actually not exactly what I want, but at least the user doesn't have to scroll.

  • I added Lion and lost word!!!  Not happy! How can I get word back?

    The "genius" at the genius bar suggested I upgrade to Lion in order to sync I-Cloud.  He saw my computer and gave me no warnings about Lion
    deleting my Word applications.  Now I have a project I need to work on and cannot access my documents!  Also, I need to change the scroll back since I don't like the reverse mouse scroll that automatically happened with Lion.  How can I get Word back?

    Regarding your other question about scrolling: Lion is really designed with trackpads in mind.
    If you don't like the scroll direction then reverse it by un-checking "scroll direction: natural" in either your trackpad or mouse preferences.
    You can use any number of applications to open and save Word formatted documents. Some are free. MS Office 11 is not your only choice.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

    JS can not interact with open dialogs in any way, unless it's a dialog
    created in JS using the Dialog object.

  • How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photostream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.

    New Photo app on Mac.
    How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
    With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
    If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
    How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
    Any other suggestions?
    thx

    The amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it.  There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
    Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck.  Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules.  That may be the problem.

  • How can i automate .pdf output and organize by color/bw?

    how can i "automate" multi-page .pdf output to preflight/imposition software workflow, organized by color/bw?
    basically what i'm trying to do is create a simple output function from InDesign that allows the user to just export a multi-page .pdf into a hot folder and on through preflight and imposition software. i want to be able to tell the hot folder which pages are color -so it can separate, rename and direct color pages to a color queue and b/w pages to a b/w queue.
    i've researched indesign distiller presets and the Acrobat JDF but the JDF isn't really meant for this exact purpose and doesn't help reduce the number of steps currently necessary to manually output/rename/etc.
    is there another way that i can embed information into a .pdf that could be read by a hot folder?

    You might check out this third-party plug-in for InDesign. It may or may not help you (I've never used it). I just saw it on the new Adobe Exchange (beta in Adobe Labs). Here's the description:
    Output Factory automates printing and exporting from Adobe InDesign. Export as single pages with variable file names, output layer versions, update modified links on the fly, preflight InDesign files before output, output to several format at once and much more.
    Just select the documents, adjust settings and Output Factory will do the rest for you. Keep working with other programs while Output Factory processes InDesign files in the background. Or leave it working overnight to output hundreds of documents, and the job will be done when you return in the morning.
    Key features:
    • Output multiple InDesign files automatically
    • Output as single pages
    • Automate printing and exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, IDML, EPUB and several image formats
    • Output files to multiple formats at once
    • Layer versioning: output layer combinations as single files
    • Update modified links automatically
    • Variable output file names
    • Preflight InDesign files and final PDFs
    • Supports books and booklet printing
    • Send output files over Internet and locally
    • Detailed output history
    System Requirements:
    - Adobe InDesign CS3-CS6
    - Mac OS X 10.5 and later, Intel-based Mac
