Make FormItem label text word wrap?

I am building a form, but my labels are fairly long
sentences. Is there a way to make the FormItem labels wrap? I tried
defining the labelWidth, but it just truncates the text with "..."
If there is no way to add a break in the label or make it
wrap, what is the best way to do this? With a bunch of
HBox's?

That's not entirely true. If you use the mx_internal
namespace you can modify the Label's internal UITextField and
enable wrapping. Something like:
formItem.itemLabel.mx_internal::getTextField().wordWrap =
true;

  • 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.
    Cheers

  • Almost finished!!  How to make JButton Text word wrap??

    Is this possible? If so, how or, where do I go to get the answer. After reviewing the JButton class (which I really don't always understand the leap between the API documentation and the actual code that is derived from it) and its constructors, methods and inherited everything, I cannot seem to find a way to make my text wrap in a JButton.
    It just disappears to the right, but nicely centered.
    Much appreciation.

    This is why you don't post the same question multiple times....
    I answered your question in your other thread, and was all ready to ignore this thread when I saw the dukes.

  • Word Wrap with a Vertical Grid

    I've got a vertical grid with my headers in the left column and descriptive text in the column immediately to the right.  I'd like to have the descriptive text word wrap but checking the word wrap box on the layout tab doesn't seem to have any effect.
    Any ideas?  I'm using 11.5 SP3

    I'm not sure if it will work with the iGrid in a vertical orientation, but have you tried setting the RowHeight to something like 20 or 30 instead of the default of 0?  This setting will auto adjust the grid lines based upon the font-size, but you may need to force it to a certain height in order for the wrapping to work.

  • How to make items in a list word wrap as needed and be variable heights

    I am trying to build a custom itemrenderer for the List control.  The items in the list are variable lengths of text, some of the text items will have different colors determined at runtime base on some criteria (this works fine now with my custom itemrenderer).  What I need is for the items to word wrap, and therefore for the list to display items of varying heights.  Is this possible to do?  All my attempts seem to have failed.  If I can't do this with an item renderer any suggestions about how to do this?  Thanks very much in advance to any of you gurus who are able to help me.

    Trick here is not to specify any height for the renderer so that Flex will determine the height according to the content. Also set the variableRowHeight="true"
    Here is a simple example
    <mx:ArrayCollection id="dp">
            <mx:Array>
                <mx:Object label="some very long text"/>
                <mx:Object label="some very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"/>
                <mx:Object label="some very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"/>
                <mx:Object label="some very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"/>
                <mx:Object label="some very long text"/>
            </mx:Array>
        </mx:ArrayCollection>
        <mx:List dataProvider="{dp}" variableRowHeight="true">
            <mx:itemRenderer>
                <mx:Component>
                    <mx:Canvas width="100%">
                        <mx:Text width="100%" text="{data.label}"/>
                    </mx:Canvas>
                </mx:Component>
            </mx:itemRenderer>
        </mx:List>

  • Trying to get text to wrap ALL the way around either text, images, shapes in Mac Pages. I tried in Pages Word Processing

    I have tried everything to get text to "wrap completely around" other text, images, shapes.  Mac Pages - tried  Word Processing and tried Page Layout.  Inspector, wrap, Floating and Object causes wrap.  The text will ONLY wrap at the TOP and BOTTOM of the object, etc.  No matter which choice I make in Object causes wrapping.  It just doesn't work.  I have worked for hours on this - I can't find a solution.  HELP!

    What version of Pages?
    I suspect you are using Pages 5 in OSX 10.9 not OSX 10.8.4.

  • How to word wrap within text field

    I've created a form with a text field but when filling the form out, the words don't word wrap, but merely go in a single line across the text box field.

  • Looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't cut it

    I'm looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't work. In text edit, it automatically scoots my text over to the next line but I just want it to keep going with a horizontal scrollbar. Is there a text editor I can download from the app store or can I get textedit to work somehow where it uses a horizontal scroll bar instead of entering text to the next line?

    Hi,
    thought TextWrangler can do it.
    But it seems that the 'no word-wrap' "feature" isn't that much wanted anymore.
    Maybe one of these http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/text%20editor can do it.

  • DataGrid, HTML Text, and WORD WRAPPING

    I have a datagrid, with 2 columns:
    - comment
    - date
    The dataprovider that feeds the datagrid is an array
    collection, with each object containing the following fields:
    - comment
    - date
    - viewed
    What I want to do is BOLD the comment cell if the comment has
    not yet been viewed. What I first tried doing was to just insert
    the <b></b> tags on the server and then feed them up to
    Flex. So here's the code that I had tried to do this with:
    <mx:DataGridColumn>
    <mx:itemRenderer>
    <mx:Component>
    <mx:HBox>
    <mx:Label htmlText="{data.comment}" />
    </mx:HBox>
    </mx:Component>
    </mx:itemRenderer>
    </mx:DataGridColumn>
    This works, but I lose the word wrapping for long comments (I
    have wordwrap="true" defined on my DataGrid).
    Then I tried changing my approach and doing something a
    little more simple to try and preserve the word wrapping, like
    this:
    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="comment" width="100"
    wordWrap="true" fontWeight="{(data.viewed==0 ? 'bold' : 'normal')}"
    />
    Yet that doesn't seem to work either, it appears to just
    completely ignore everything... no bolding whatsoever.
    So my question is: what's the best to to control the BOLDING
    of a DataGrid cell while at the same time retaining the word wrap
    features?
    Thanks,
    Jacob

    <mx:DataGridColumn>
    <mx:itemRenderer>
    <mx:Component>
    <mx:HBox>
    <mx:Label htmlText="{data.comment}"
    wordWrap="true" height="100%"/>
    </mx:HBox>
    </mx:Component>

  • Text area and Word Wrapping

    I am creating a email form and am having problems with word
    wraping in the text area. You can view the page and the output if

    is lost in the email. Even if I add spacing for paragraphs. All
    data is just a big run on sentence.
    Here is the

    Someone may have tried this because I received this output in
    an email. You can see the formattint is lost.

  • Word wrap in multiline text

    JDeveloper 11.1.2.0.0
    We have a description that is shown in the UI. The width of the component is fixed and is shown in multi-lines.
    How can we show the text in multiline with word wrapping?
    Thanks in advance,

    Did you simply try an <af:outputText>? That's all it needs. This will wrap just fine without any extra work:
    <af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1" layout="scroll" inlineStyle="width:400px;">
    <af:outputText value="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed a justo sem, tincidunt consequat ante. Cras eros nunc, ornare ut congue quis, fringilla vel diam. Sed quis massa non libero laoreet suscipit sit amet eget leo. Pellentesque gravida leo a diam dapibus placerat porta lorem blandit. Maecenas id odio vitae nulla consequat blandit." id="ot2"/>
    </af:panelGroupLayout>

    Yes, Thank you for using the term Place. You moved my focus off the clipboard, and Place set me back on course. Somewhere, the terms Copy and Paste need to be tagged to Place and Export.
