Is it possible to wrap text in cells of a Table indicator?

I have read the contents of an Excel file into a Table indicator and would like to wrap text within certain cells.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can do this - sort of...
LV will not auto wrap the contents of a cell automatically. However, if there are hard line breaks, you can make LV expand the cell vertically to show all the lines. It will not however, autoutomatically size the cell width.
Sounds like this might be a good project for an XControl.

  • Multiline text in cell of the table

    Since you can't use the formatted UI elements, you will need to remove the XHTML formatting.  I would suggest perform text replacement and removing the
    <p>
    completely and replacing the
    </p>
    with cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf. 
    Try that with the textView. If the carriage return isn't used in the text view, you might swap the UI element to a disabled textEdit UI element instead.

  • Is it possible to set text and rotatation in stored table formats?

    I have a table that is a good candidate to be a table format because it will be resued many times.  The heading text will not change and some of the text is rotated, so I'd like to store that too.  Is there a way to do this in FM9?  Here's a sample of what I'm aiming for.  Any portion (text itself or rotation style) that can be set in the table format tag would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I'm reasobably sure that table formats can't have any text in them. Tables with formatting and canned text are one of the things I use most frequently in my Auto-Text definitions. Auto-Text is a plug-in I wrote that is useful for inserting canned items into FrameMaker documents. You can learn about it here:

  • Cannot Align text in cell

    Greetings,
    I am having issues when trying to format my spreadsheet.  First of all, I have "Wrap Text in Cell" option turned on.  So when I have text that can fit into the cell, its fine.  But when I have long text in the cell, it wraps the text in the cell so it can fit inside, which I'm fine with.... but for some reason, it is not aligning it in the cell properly, so now part of the text it cut off.  I try to center align the text, but no use. I hit the button for "Align text in the middle of the table cell", and still does not align the text so that its centered, not cut off. I have included an image of what im talking about. Help please?

  • Delimiters in wrapping text

    Hi,
    I am using fm RKD_WORD_WRAP to wrap text from 36 character line table(ztab) into a table of type tline(ztline).
    So I have to append more than 1 lines of ztab into ztline.
    There should be a second record only if space between 2 words is '  ' (2 spaces).
    How do I give this condition in the fm.
    I tried giving double spaces, but it didnt accept.
    any suggestions???
    thanks,
    goldie.

    Goldie,
    Declare a Variable like
    Data : Delimit(2) value '    ' . (Two Bank spaces with in the Paranthesis)
    and Pass Delimit in your FM.
    This shud help.

  • Can you stop table indicator cell editing?

    Hello,
      Is there a way to disable the ability of a user to edit the cells of a table indicator? I have a table indicator on my front panel and just want it to be a indicator, nothing else. I have found that I can change the contents of a cell in the table indicator and type in any value I want. 
    Regards,
    Kaspar

    A technique I have used at times to quickly disable multiple controls at one time (provided they are located near each other) is to create a simple string indicator that is transparent. Size it so that it covers the controls (in your case the table) that you want to disable. In your code when you want to disable those controls use the property node to make the transparent string control visible. When you want to enable the controls use the property node to set the "visible" attribute to false. This is a simple trick that can be useful at times.

  • Wrap text in ALV cell

    Hello,
    I have an ALV table, and some colums are of type text with quite long lengths.
    Initially the columns have a small length, but when the user writes long texts (for example 100 characters) the cell will is automatically enlarged to show the complete text on the screen. That's quite annoying because with two or three columns like this, storing long texts, the overall width of the table is really big.
    I know that there is a way to define fixed columns, but the problem with this is that then, when the long text is input in the table, you cannot scroll inside the cell to see the values, you can only see the beginning of the phrase.
    I would like to do something similar to the Excel. First I would like to allow the users to resize the columns (just like the Excel grid) and then I would like to wrap long texts in different rows (inside the cell) to reduce the cell width.
    Is this possible? What would you recommend in this case?
    Regards

    Hi Javier,
    The ALV resize functionality is there in 7.0 Enhp1. It works for standard tables and ALV. You only have to set the fixedTableLayout property to True.  You can use the below link to check out Thomas Jung's [demonstration |http://www.flickr.com/photos/tjung/2806011790/]in which he shows as to how we can resize the ALV columns.
    create an instance of ALV component
    DATA: LR_IF_CONTROLLER TYPE REF TO IWCI_SALV_WD_TABLE,
    LR_CMP_USAGE TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT_USAGE,
    LR_CMDL TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_WD_CONFIG_TABLE,
    LR_TABLE_SETTING TYPE REF TO IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_SETTINGS.
    LR_CMP_USAGE = WD_THIS->WD_CPUSE_ALV( ).
    IF LR_CMP_USAGE->HAS_ACTIVE_COMPONENT( ) IS INITIAL.
    LR_CMP_USAGE->CREATE_COMPONENT( ).
    ENDIF.
    get reference to the ALV model
    LR_IF_CONTROLLER = WD_THIS->WD_CPIFC_ALV( ).
    LR_CMDL = LR_IF_CONTROLLER->GET_MODEL( ).
    LR_TABLE_SETTING ?= LR_CMDL.
    Set column width
    DATA LR_COL TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN.
    LR_COL = LR_CMDL->IF_SALV_WD_COLUMN_SETTINGS~GET_COLUMN( 'PERNR' ).
    LR_COL->SET_WIDTH( '70' ) .
    LR_COL = LR_CMDL->IF_SALV_WD_COLUMN_SETTINGS~GET_COLUMN( 'ENAME' ).
    LR_COL->SET_WIDTH( '100' ) .
    LR_TABLE_SETTING->SET_FIXED_TABLE_LAYOUT( ABAP_TRUE ).

  • Cell Wrap Text

    Hi,
    Does the MS Word's cell Options > Wrap text really work? I have XMLP 5.63, Word 2003, and I'm trying to restrict the invoice line description to only 1 line, but it does not seem to work.
    Does anybody have any ideas?
    Thx
    Jo

    Hi Jo,
    You could try this: <?xdofx:substr(DESCRIPTION,1,30)?> where DESCRIPTION is the name of the XML tag of the invoice line description.
    It will show the first 30 characters.
    Succes.

  • In SSRS , after exporting report in excel,wrap text property for cell and freeze column for SSRS table header not working in Excel

    I am working no one SSRS my table headers are freeze cangrow property is false and my report is working perfect while rendering data on RDL and i want same report after exporting in Excel also , i want my table header to be freeze and wrap text property
    to work after exporting in my report in excel but its not working ,is there any solution ? any patch ? any other XML code for different rendering ? 

    Hi Amol,
    According to your description, you find the wrap text property and fix column is not working after exporting into Excel. Right?
    In Reporting Services, when exporting to excel file, it has limitation for textbox.
    Text boxes are rendered within one Excel cell. Font size, font face, decoration, and font style are the only formatting that is supported on individual text within an Excel cell.
    Excel adds a default padding of approximately 3.75 points to the left and right sides of cells. If a text box’s padding settings are less than 3.75 points and is just barely wide enough to accommodate the text, the text may wrap in Excel.
    In this scenario, it supposed to be wrap text unless you merge cells. If cells are merged, word-wrap does not work correctly. If any merged cells exist on a row where a text box is rendered with the
    AutoSize property, autosize will not work. For the Fix Data Property, it can't be working in Excel. These are features when exporting to Excel. We can't change it because it's by design.
    Reference:
    Exporting to Microsoft Excel (Report Builder and SSRS)
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,
    Simon Hou

  • Edit_field - is it possible to force text to not wrap?

    Doc excerpts:
    from View attributes LrView text properties:
    width_in_chars : (Read-Only) Calculates the minimum width using this as the number of m characters that should fit. Considered together with width_in_digits. If height_in_lines is set to -1, and width or width_in_digits or width_in_chars is specified, text wraps. (number, default: 15)
    and from View attributes LrView edit view properties
    wraps : (Read-Only)
    True to wrap text. Mac only. (Boolean, default: true)
    (note: read-only means you can't change it after it gets set (not bindable), but plugin does set it's value)
    Question is: is it possible to *not* wrap text in an edit_field, in Windows? (so far all attempts have resulted in wrapped text). I mean, ultimately it would need to not wrap in Mac too, but one step at a time...
    R

    You don't have direct control of the line spacing (leading) for a text field created in Acrobat. You can change the font size, but this often means using a larger size than looks good. You can also simply set the background color of the field to white, which will cover up the lines. This is the approach taken with the following demo: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=AG6oZ3bi3DYHokxDPeWN7A
    When no text is in the field the lines are visible so they can be used if the form is printed and filled by hand.

  • JTable - Wrapping text in a cell.

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me how to dynamically wrap the text in a particular cell of a JTable if it is to long to be displayed on one line? I don't care if it affects the row height, in fact I would like the row height to be automatically adjusted to fit the text.
    Basically, I have a table with 3 columns, the third of which is a "notes" column and allows up to 500 characters to be displayed. When the text is too long the table truncates it with an elipsis (...) and the user can't see the rest. I would like the text to wrap within the cell (changing the row height) so that the user can read the entire note more easily. In addition, and I realize this may add a significant wrinkle, my client does not want to see a scrollbar just the whole note.
    Has anybody been able to do this?
    Thank you,
    G Poole

    i didn't like the code in that article, it seemed too messy. here's what i did for my application:
        static class CardObjectRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
            private int minHeight = -1;
            private final JLabel label = new JLabel();
            private final JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
            public CardObjectRenderer() {
                textArea.setLineWrap(true);
                textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
            public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
                JTable table,
                Object value,
                boolean isSelected,
                boolean hasFocus,
                int row,
                int column) {
                Component c = null;
                switch (column) {
                    case 0 : // the image
                        ImageIcon icon = (ImageIcon) value;
                        minHeight = Math.max(minHeight, icon.getIconHeight());
                        label.setIcon(icon);
                        c = label;
                        break;
                    case 2 : // the help
                    case 1 : // the answer
                        String text = (String) value;
                        textArea.setText(text);
                        minHeight =
                            Math.max(minHeight, textArea.getPreferredSize().height);
                        c = textArea;
                        break;
                    default :
                        throw new RuntimeException("invalid column! " + column);
                // the final column in my table
                if (column == 2) {
                    if (table.getRowHeight(row) != minHeight) {
                        table.setRowHeight(row, minHeight);
                    minHeight = -1;
                return c;
        }i use a single instance of this cell renderer for every cell in my table, because i know exactly what is going in there. that is, i have a table model which reflects the column order i have here, etc.
    the thing that kills the cpu is the call to table.setRowHeight(int row, int height)... you need to check that you actually need to set it before you before you do. if you simply set it each time then your renderer gets called again and again and again. you can check it very simply:
        if (table.getRowHeight(row) != minHeight) {
            table.setRowHeight(row, minHeight);
        }(note that the text height still isn't perfect, but it suffices for my requirements)
    hope that helps some of you.
    cheers,

  • Xml publisher report using RTF in Excel is coming as wrap text?

    Hi,
    I am working on XML publisher report, I have converted standard report to xml publisher , to generate the report in excel.
    But the output is coming as Wrap text, is there a way to get the output directly without wrap ?
    Thanks
    Dev

    Hi Dev,
    You can try below ways
    1>change the setting in table properties to fit table cell as per contents.
    2>or create a table and inside that create one more inner table and add your fields.
    3>or Create .XLS layout it will come properly.

  • JTextAreaCellRenderer to wrap text in multiple columns... any better way?

    I would like to use a basic JTextArea cell renderer to wrap the text in a JTable cell, like in this thread
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=664671&messageID=3893724
    Although the technique works, a disadvantage is that it cannot be used "as is" for multiple columns due to the setRowHeight/revalidate issue. One suggested workaround was to keep track of the maximum row height, as described here:
    http://www.javaspecialists.co.za/archive/newsletter.do?issue=106
    Both seem a bit rough. Are there any other options or more efficient techniques for automatically wrapping text in a JTable cell?

    Hello, did you search online? there are many tutorials like this one: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photoshop-text/text-effects/text-wrap/
    You simply create a path, substract the parts you do not need, then click with the text tool inside.
    Note that it is not a dynamic text wrap, you need to change it if you move the objects around.

  • Table header wrap text?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to wrap the text of a table heading? I have found this question in many places always with a negative answer. Althought they are old posts and in main thread of this forum [POLL: Web Dynpro UI elements - enhancement proposals; in the first response Armin says that header text wrapping is now supported. Anyone knows how? I am working with NW7.0
    Thanks,
    Gabriel.

    Hi Gabriel,
    The header text wrapping is now supported in the SAP CE 7.1 and SAP NW 7.0 EHP 1.
    This a table column property.

  • Webforms - Wrap Text/Word Wrap for Column Headings

    I have some member aliases that are set as my webform's column headings, but they are fairly long. Setting the column width to a custom value that fits most of the text in the heading makes the form very wide and ugly to work with. I don't see any option to Wrap Text or use Word Wrap in the column headings. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am not aware of any option which allows you to wrap the text, it may be possible customizing the [CSS |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_hp_admin/ch12s03.html] though to be honest I am not even sure about that and even if it was possible it would apply to all apps.
