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
Amit

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 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
O

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 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.

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 change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?
I look the properties of items in help and found nothing about this!
It's possible?

Hi,
an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
First create block and add items
The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
in this way you can change the source of column value.
Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
bye

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 aling the text in a JTable???

I use this code to make a vertical header like in excel. The thing is that i want to aling the text in that column but i couldn´t. I try to set the render, but i loose the header render in the column. Anyone know how to aling the text in that column with out loosing the header effect????
i post a code that i use as model for my project.
package com.chuidiang.ejemplos;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
* Ejemplo de cómo hacer una "cabecera" lateral en un JTable. Idea original de

* http://foro.chuidiang.com/java-j2se/tabla-de-referencias-cruzadas-en-java/
* Básicamente consiste en hacer que la primera columna: - No sea editable. - No

* @author chuidiang
public class CabeceraLateral {
      * Crea y visualiza una ventana con un JTable que tiene cabecera en la parte

      * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // Un modelo de datos que hace la primera columna (la de
          // la cabecera lateral) no editable.
          DefaultTableModel tm = new DefaultTableModel(10, 5) {
               @Override
               public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
                    if (0 == column)
                         return false;
                    return super.isCellEditable(row, column);
          // Titulos para la cabecera superior. El primero es vacio,

          tm.setColumnIdentifiers(new String[] { "", "A", "B", "C", "D" });
          // Valores para la primera columna, que es la cabecera lateral.
          for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
               tm.setValueAt(i + 1, i, 0);
          // JTable al que se le pasa el modelo recien creado y se
          // sobreescribe el metodo changeSelection para que no permita
          // seleccionar la primera columna.
          JTable t = new JTable(tm) {
               @Override
               public void changeSelection(int rowIndex, int columnIndex,
                         boolean toggle, boolean extend) {
                    if (columnIndex == 0)
                         super.changeSelection(rowIndex, columnIndex + 1, toggle,
                                   extend);
                    else
                         super.changeSelection(rowIndex, columnIndex, toggle,
                                             extend);
          // Se pone a la primera columna el render del JTableHeader
          // superior.
          t.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setCellRenderer(t.getTableHeader().getDefaultRenderer()); //here i set the render for the column. But when i try to aling the text, this column loose the effect.
          // Creación y visualización de la ventana completa.
          JFrame v = new JFrame("Cabecera lateral");
          JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(t);
          v.getContentPane().add(sp);
          v.pack();
          v.setVisible(true);
          v.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}

The word is "align" not aling.
To right-align the first column, you can do this in a prepareRenderer override.    JTable t = new JTable(tm) {
      @Override
      public void changeSelection(int rowIndex, int columnIndex,
              boolean toggle, boolean extend) {
        if (columnIndex == 0) {
          super.changeSelection(rowIndex, columnIndex + 1, toggle,
                  extend);
        } else {
          super.changeSelection(rowIndex, columnIndex, toggle,
                  extend);
      @Override
      public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column) {
        Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);
        if (column == 0) {
          ((JLabel) c).setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.RIGHT);
        return c;
    };You can find other alternatives to your approach by searching the net for "[JTable row header|http://www.google.com/search?q=JTable+row+header]"
