String item problem

Question

I use mobility pack visual designer.
When I create a string item in visual screen designer it looks like that:
Title
<text>
but after i run my app it looks different
Title <text>
Why there's no line break?
When I try to add the line break manually it doesn�t work because screen designer property editor adds to the code \\n when I put \n
so generated code looks like that
stringItem1 = new StringItem("stringItem1\\n", "<Enter Text>");  and I cannot edit it manually because generated code is blocked by net beans
I can initialize my stringItem object one again
stringItem2 = new StringItem("stringItem2\n", "<Enter Text>");  but I thing that�s very stupid to reinitialize an object twice
And the line break after title doesn't solve my problem because if the title is too long the device will automatically brake the line and I�ll get this
A long long title........
<text>
one empty line because of that break
Any ideas?
I don�t want to use textField because when you set it to uneditable its color becomes gray.

Answer 1

Check the actual URL up in the location bar. Your comma may actually be dropping out there, because it isn't encoded such that in value commas can be differentiated from delimiters, so the fields aren't lining up in the URL properly.
When you go to a page that takes in parameters for assignment in the link, it has 2 fields. The first is the comma separated list of the item names on the page to assign, which wouldn't contain commas in their names. The other field in the URL is a comma separated list of values to be assigned to the previous list. Since these values aren't encoded, the comma in the value is picked up as delimiter and not a part of the value. I have an example I can load up to apex.oracle.com if you need.
