Multi line column JTable

Hi,
I am working on JTable and I am using DefaultTableModel.
I have a requirement that in one of the cells I need to show a multi line text which may contain 10 to 50 lines of text.I need to show all the text even on resizing the table.
Can anyone give me suggessions regarding this.
Thanks,
Bussa.

Hi,
Write your custom JTableCellEditor and Renderer to install a JTextArea on the cell you want.
You can set the size of the larger row separately via
JTable.setRowHeight(int row, int value); To display the full text you should set
JTextArea.setLineWrap(true);
JTextArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);and set the width of the JTextArea static.
after this calculate the height of the JTextArea and set it to the table.

How to make multi-line report headings?

Hi all,
By default, Apex creates a single-line report heading for each column in a report. To minimize white space, multi-line column headings are sometimes appropriate. How can Apex be directed to split a column heading at certain place(s)?
Thanks,
Kim
P.S. I'm running Apex 4.2.2.

Change title to multi-line type?

I am reading that it is not possible to change the Title field to a multi-line column type. I have created a Question/Answer list. I renamed the Title field to "Question", but I need the user to be allowed more than 255 characters.
Is there a way to do this? I know I can create a new column, but I need it to link to the item view/edit pages.
There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

Hello,
What version of sharepoint you are using? If you are using SP 2010 or later then use "LinkToItem="TRUE"".
This will add link to any column in list.

Multi-line JTable headers?

Is there any way for a JTable column header to have 2 or more lines of text? I want narrow columns with fairly lengthy text descriptions.
The only thing I could think of was to override AbstractTableModel.getColumnName to send String values with embedded "\n" or html "<br/>" constructs. Neither method works.

I'm sorry, my earlier statement was not precise enough.
The technique you show does produce multi-line header text; however the height of the header is unchanged, so only the center line is visible (or the bottom of line 1 and the top of line 2, if two lines are written).
Do you know if the height of the header row can be changed?

Reading a semi column delimited multi line Flat file on KM repository

I have a requirement in our project to read a multi line, semi column delimited flat from kept on the Knowledge Management repository and display the contents in the Portal.
I had tried couple of options and was unable to read the file. I am not sure which are the correct APIs I should be using.
Can any one of the experts could guide me with the sample code, that will be great!
Your early response is highly appreciated.

How to create a multi-line table/column comment

Can someone tell me how to create a multi-line table or column comment?
Apparently, the concatenate operator (||) does not work with the COMMENT statement.
I've searched the Oracle manuals and couldn't find an answer.
COMMENT ON TABLE sometbl IS 'i would like to break up this comment into several lines in order to improve readability'; Effectively, this is what I'd like to do (but it doesn't work):
COMMENT ON TABLE sometbl IS
'i would like to break up ' || CHAR(10) ||
'this comment into several lines ' || CHAR(10) ||
'in order to improve readability' || CHAR(10); Oracle version is 10.2.0.4

Why not just
SQL> create table t (a int)
Createtable successfully completed.
SQL> comment on table t is 'i would like to break up
this comment into several lines
in order to improve readability'
Commenton successfully completed.
SQL> select * from user_tab_comments where table_name = 'T'
TABLE_NAME           TABLE_TYPE COMMENTS
T                    TABLE       i would like to break up
                                 this comment into several lines
                                 in order to improve readability

hi again,
To print pdf in a swing application you don't need servlet.jar.
You'll only need itext.jar and a printer connected to your pc.
Download the iText source code and unzip it. See the following classes:
com.lowagie.tools.LPR and com.lowagie.tools.BuildTutorial. This latter is the main class of a swing tool that you can run.
Silent Print:
You have only to embed this javascript code in your pdf:
writer.addJavaScript("this.print(false);", false);
                    document.add(new Chunk("Silent Auto Print"));Then, you have to send the document to the printer.
Google : java print pdf
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=523898 or
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/javax.print/pkg.html for printing task.
Under unix system, I used this:
                       String PRINTER = ...;
               try {
                    String cmd = "lp -d " + PRINTER + " " + PDF_PATH;
                    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "sh", "-c", cmd });
               } catch (Exception e) {
                             //handle the exception
                             e.printStackTrace();
               }hth

Multi-line Labels in Swing 1.1?

Hi
Is it possible to get multi-line labels
(using any type of component) prior
to 1.1.1?
Marc

I think you should create a custom table cell renderer. As I am a lazy one I'd subclass a default renderer as follows (I have not tried it, it's just a clue):
public class MultilineTableCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
     private JTextArea renderer;
     public MultilineTableCellRenderer()
          renderer = new JTextArea();
          renderer.setEnabled(false);
          // You should find out another color constant if you are using
          // Java L&F, this works with the Windows L&F.
          renderer.setDisabledTextColor(UIManager.getColor("control"));
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
          Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus, int row,
          int column)
          JComponent compo = (JComponent) super.getTableCellRendererComponent(
               table, value, isSelected, cellHasFocus, row, column);
          renderer.setBackground(compo.getBackground());
          renderer.setForeground(compo.getForeground());
          renderer.setDisabledTextColor(compo.getForeground());
          renderer.setBorder(compo.getBorder());
          // Might need something like that.
          /* renderer.setText(value.toString() ???); */
          return renderer;
}You might want to stub out methods like repaint, validate for better performance in a JTextArea subclass...

Multi line issue in Table Cell Editor

Hi,
I am developing an occasionally connected application for handheld devices using NetWeaver Mobile 7.1. In one of the view, I have a table which display items information from the data source. In one of the column I need to display item description so I used TextEdit in the Cell Editor to display the information in multi line format and also wrapping is enabled.
But during testing of the application the TextEdit control does not wraps the text and as well as only first line of TextEdit control is visible inside the table and rest of the rows are not visible because of table's row height is not adjusted to the TextEdit control. I couldn't find any option to vary the size of the row height of the table.
Please suggest a solution to bring multi line display with in the table.
Also, check out my other issue posted here.
[Issue in wrapping of text in TextEdit control|Issue in wrapping of text in TextEdit control]
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
DVR.

Hi Vinodh,
Mutliline text in a text view/edit control inside a table cell is not supported.
You can view multiline text in a text view/edit as a seperate control inside a view. I think in case you want to see the whole address you can create a detail(s) view which can be navigated from the list (table) view.

How to create a dynamic multi-line function in SQL Server

>> Unfortunately I really need to form a dynamic query in a table valued function on the SQL SERVER. I have another tabled valued function that needs something returned as a table in order to further join the data. I am not allowed to use Stored
Procedures in that function. <<
You do know that real SQL programmers hate the proprietary nightmare of tabled valued functions? This is how you procedural programmers avoid learning set-oriented declarative and functional programming.
Your mindset wants to write to a scratch tape or disk file (aka “tabled valued function result table”) just like you did BASIC, FORTRAN or COBOL. QL programmers do not have to materialize their data. We can use VIEW or a drive table as well as a base table.
>> Plus, there are occasions where I don't want to pass in a field [sic: columns are not fields] parameter or need to change a parameter list such that I don't wish the table function to filter by a particular field [sic] or other setting. <<
What you want is a magical “Automobiles, Squids and Lady Gaga” function. An SQL programmer might write a complex VIEW then do simpler SELECTs off it.
>> My application pushes the WHERE clause from EXCEL to SQL to do the hard work as EXCEL is not the application in which I want to process the SQL statement and pass it via ODBC. I cannot run macros in Excel on the web.<<
This is a crazy language system. Usually we fetch data in SQL and then pass it to a math package, report writer, etc. We never keep logic (aka WHERE clauses) outside the database.
>> I am bummed about the fact that this feature doesn't work. It will up my server management costs to maintain unique tabular based functions based on WHERE clause query <<
So stop writing those “tabular based functions”, change your mindset and start learning SQL and do it right.

New lines created in excel when displaying multi-line text item value

Hi all,
I put the value of a multi-line text-item into a csv file :
DECLARE
file_filter VARCHAR2(256) := 'Export Files (*.csv)/*.csv/All Files (*.*)/*.*/';
fExp VARCHAR2(256);
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
fExp := get_file_name ( directory_name, file_name, file_filter, NULL, SAVE_FILE, TRUE);
IF fExp IS NOT NULL
THEN
set_application_property(cursor_style,'BUSY');
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen( fExp, 'W');
linebuf := NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.LIBEL_TRAITE,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.NUM_ANFR_ID,'') || ';' ||
                         NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.ver_fiche,'') || ';' ||
                         NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.titre,'') || ';' ||
NVL(to_char(:com_bnc_possibles.date_creat, 'dd/mm/yyyy'),'') || ';' ||
NVL(to_char(:com_bnc_possibles.date_valide, 'dd/mm/yyyy'),'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.LIBEL_STATUT,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.label_reg,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.nom,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.prenom,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.nom_societe,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.comp_bnc,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.motifs,'') || ';' ;
Text_IO.Put_Line( in_file, linebuf);
Text_IO.Fclose( in_file);
set_application_property(cursor_style,'DEFAULT');
END IF;
END;
And when I opened the csv file then the remaining lines , that is from the second line , of the column "motifs" are displayed through the column A of excel. The "motifs" multi-line text-item has 500 as its Maximum Length property value, and has a Char Data Type property value.
So how to display all the motifs' lines through the same column M without displaying the remaining lines in column A ?
Or are there tips to remove CHR(13) characters from a multi-line text-item ?
Thank you very much indeed.

Displaying Multi Line Text

Hi,
I am having issues in displaying multi line text on a Text Item. Basically there is data in the database column DetailText which is stored like this with carriage returns :
If I look at the column in Toad it is formatted with all the carriage returns correctly eg.
Hello
World
When I display this in my StaticStyled Item it displays like "Hello World" in one line. I want to be able to display it as it is with the carriage return on 2 seperate lines.
I have looked in this forum and one search 2 places and one suggestion was to use RawText Item type. I have tried changing the Item Type to Raw Text and FormattedText but it doesn't make any difference. The lines are still displayed horizontally instead of vertically. Another place I saw was to use OAHTMLWebBean but doesn't show how I can do this.
This should be simple enough but I have searched the DevGuide and this forum and couldn't figure out the solution. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Feature request : import of multi-line notes in CSV or tab-delimited file

This is a feature request to the AddressBook development team:
Following a question posted here and asked to support (thanks to Barry and Julia from ADC), it turns out that AddressBook is not ready yet to import multi-line notes from a CSV or tab-delimited file.
I would like to kindly suggest the AddressBook development team to update the import methods for such flat files to parse the text of what is assigned to the Notes field, and convert documented escape sequences to their pre-determined corresponding special character.
I would think that the following would be pretty easy to implement, and easy for the targeted audience (enthousiasts power-users and up) to remember:
"\n " : mark a new line (same as ^p in Word)
"\t " : replace by a tab
I would keep the trailing space to avoid problems with DOS-type file path problems.
and of course...
"\\n " and "\\t " for whoever would want to import notes about \n and \t
For example, in a Notes column, the text:
"Escape sequence \\n :\n move the text to a new line\n \n while escape sequence \\t :\t move the text to the next horizontal tab"
would give the following (just consider text between <Note> marks):
<Note>
Escape sequence \n:
move the text to a new line
while escape sequence \t: move the text to the next horizontal tab
</Note>
Thanks for reading...
Frédéric Denis

The developers do not necessarily read these USER discussion pages. If you want to make suggestions and know they will be read (which is at least a step towards implementation) use the OS X feedback page.
