How to wrap the text in a popup LOV item ( Apex 4.0 )

Hi
I have a popup LOV type item with a very long string value
I would like to format the item so itr will be shorter but have the string wrap to multiple lines.
Can you let me know how that can be achieved ?
thanks

Hmm.. I don't know about that.
I actually already managed to change the width of a specific popup element by putting the following in the region footer :
<script type="text/javascript">
$x('P3_CONTRACT').style.height="20px";
</script>
that works fine and only impacts that specific element.
However , Since I know next to nothing of HTML and Javascript , I could not figure out the code to put to make the text wrap.
your solution suggests that it will take care of the width , but will it cause the words to wrap ?
thanks
O

  • How to wrap the text in column headers?

    Hi Friends,
    Can anyone please suggest how to wrap the text in column headers of a Java WebDynpro table?
    I believe that caption is the only UI element that a column header can have and it does not allow wrapping of the text.
    My original requirement is as follows,
    In a table I need to dynamically set the width of the columns according to the width configured by the user in some other view. All the columns of the table are dynamically rendered.
    Now what happens is when the user sets the width of the column to a rather low value, say 15 pixels, then the column is displayed like
    Supplier Catalog Name
    Sheila
    Catalog
    Name
    Dropdown
    As you can see it looks rather odd.
    Supplier Catalog Name is the header of the column and I use IWDCaption for header.
    Sheila Catalog Name Dropdown is the value of a particular row at the specified column. I am using a TextView as the TableCellEditor.
    I think what is happening here is that the framework wraps the text in the TextView according to the width specified (15px) and then the column width is extended because it can not accommodate the text (Supplier Catalog Name ) of the column header.
    We are using SAP NetWeaver Development Studio 7.0.12 as the IDE.
    I searched some forums and many people have suggested using scrollable columns but I don't understand how it will help in wrapping the text in a column header.
    Any help would be of great advantage.
    Thanks

    Hi Deepti,
    Thanks a lot for the answer but the option that you have specified does not wrap the text. Instead it truncates the text being displayed and only the substring of the text which could be displayed in the given pixels is displayed.
    I need to show the whole text wrapped (Meaning if the width of the column is not sufficient then the text goes into the next line).
    Ayyapparaj,
    Thanks to you too for an helpful answer. It seems that the Netweaver has finally come up with a way to wrap the text in the column headers but as Manoj pointed out, I do not see the property headerTextWrapping  for a table column, Can you please specify which version of netweaver supports it?

  • How to wrap the text in a jTextArea

    Hello all,
    I am currently developing a simple simulation program for our scientific research group. My boss asked me to employ the program with a GUI. However, I am new to Java Swing. It is nice to have you guys that may provide a helping hand to my problem.
    My problem is with the jTextArea. Because my result to be displayed in jTextArea is lengthy and its length varies. The way I extract the result is to use a String to hold all of the results and directly pass it to the jTextArea. However, It is lope-sided and not quite user-friendly. Is there any function that I can use so that the text can be wrapped and that the user doesn't need to scroll left or right to view the results?
    Thanks in advance(:

    you're a developer (new to swing is irrelevant) and you don't know how to read the api docs?
    there are only 6 set...() methods (apart from inherited) and what you want is 2 of them.

  • How to get the value from one Popup lov column to another popup lov column

    Hi,
    I am new to oracle apex development and having the below issue.
    In my application, there is a tabular form with 15 columns ( c1.. c15).
    I have to populate the value of column C5 based on the selected(from popup lov) value of column C3, tried to use onchange, but didn't help much.
    Any help please.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Oh boy, this is a fun one.
    onchange should work theoretically (in this example, assume that f05 is the target column that should be set and "this" is the source item whose value is to be transferred to f05 on the same row (row 2)):
    onchange=$s('f05_0002',$v(this));
    BUT the catch is of course that needs to be different for every row (can't hardcode the '2'), so you need something to dynamically create the row number component.
    I wrote this for an app I'm working on that uses master-detail forms heavily (I also wrote a lot more code to read the fmap array that is in v4 so that I can reference my cells via their column name and not the numeric position (so "f05 can be determined w/o hard coding), insulating against columns moving around, columns being made display-only etc. but I won't bore you with that here unless you really need to know).
    function getRow(pObj)
    { //Pass in an object reference to a tabular form cell and get back an integer
      //derived from the object ID.
      var vRow=pObj.id.substr(pObj.id.indexOf("_")+1);
      if (isNaN(vRow))
        return (null);
      return (parseInt(vRow,10));
    function formatRow(pRow)
    { //Pass in an integer and it'll be returned as the tabular form cell ID suffix
      //(e.g.: pass in 1 and get back string "_0001").
      //Used in building ID references to tabular form cells.
      if((isThingEmpty(pRow)) || (isNaN(pRow)))
        return(null);
      var vRow=pRow.toString();
      while(vRow.length<4)
        vRow="0"+vRow;
      return("_"+vRow);
    }Therefore:
    onchange=$s('f05_'+formatRow(getRow(this)),$v(this));
    So in essence, pass in "this" which will be a reference to the current item, largely to determine what row we're on. getRow will return 1, 2, 3, etc. formatRow will take that and return 0001, 0002, 0003, etc. Once that is done, it'll concatenate with the f05 and f04 to refer to the correct columns (determining f05, f04, etc. dynamically is another matter if you really need to but I didn't want to complicate this answer too much at once).
    Note: above I also use a isThingEmpty() function that I wrote. It does nothing other than check the item for an empty string, if the item is null, etc. Just do your own evaluation of empty-string, no-value, etc. there.
    It would indeed be nice though if Apex had a better way to delclaratively access the tabular form items though. Despite all the v4 enhancements, tabular forms were not entirely upgraded to the same full functionality of page items.

  • How to get the return value of a LOV item using javascript

    Hello,
    I am trying to put an onchange attribute in the HTML Form Element Attributes field of a LOV item. The javascript should access the new return value of the item. How is this done ? All the methods I have tried give only the display value, not the return value. For example $v() returns the display value.
    Tiina

    If your item is called P1_ITEM this will give you the return value of a popup (displays description,returns key value)
    alert($x('P1_ITEM_HIDDENVALUE').value)

  • Wrapping the text on the confirmation dialog

    Can any one pls tell me how to wrap the text on a confirmation dialog?
    thanks in advance.
    regards
    Lakshminarayanan.V

    Hi,
    Currently this is simply not possible. Probably later TextView UI element will be enhanced to support this (at least, this feature is at "Whish List", search this forum for word POLL), and confirmation dialogs will inherit desired behavior automatically.
    For now you have to create your own component and use it pop-over window as confirmation dialog. In your component you may either use TextArea for multi-line display (quick and ugly) or split string into several context attributes and display them using several TextView UI elements (either dynamically created or pre-created till some reasonable maximum, say, 5 lines <-> 5 controls)

  • How to wrap the heading text in alv.

    HI all,
          I need help, how to wrap the heading text in alv.
    can any help ... plz..
    Advanced Thanks
    Regards
    GUhapriyan

    Hello GuhaPriyan,
    I assume that you're referring to the ALV Grid's title. The maximum length for this title is 70 characters and this would generally fit in the one line.
    Are you intending to wrap it because you purposefully want the text to come in two lines? In that case, I'm not sure that it's possible.
    But otherwise, there's an option in the Layout called SMALLTITLE. You can set this attribute so that the title would be displayed in a amaller font and hopefully, all of your text shows up on the screen.

  • How to use the text module in script

    hi,
            i script how to use the text modules and how to write the code  in layout of the script?

    Hi,
    You canr use text modules in script. You have to use standard texts .
    Standard text are maintained in SO10 transaction.
    you can create translation text for other languages also . So based on logon language it will print translation text.
    go to SO10
    give textname it say Ztextname  id as ST and language as EN
    say create, then you will get editor there maintain your text and save it . then come back . Now change language (say for german DE) say create and eneter translation text and save it.
    so now you have created a text called ztextname which you can use in your script.
    Inorder to insert the texts in your script do as below
    go to any window editor and   select path
    Insert->texts->symbols->standard symbols
    then you will get popup  in which you have to mention all the parameters that you have created earlier.
    after inserting just change language EN to sy-langu
