Text Wrapping in table cell

Hi folks
If the text in a table cell exceeds the width of cell then is it possible to make that cell scrollable.
Or either can we scroll only text horizontally.
I know PopIn is alternate for this problem but see if it is possible.
Thanks is anticipation,
Mandeep Virk

Hi Guys thanks for quick response,
I tried it using text wrapping but i did;nt see any difference. Can u please explain a bit it text wrapping is true then how a normal line will appear.
Is using text wrap the text comes in two lines or have some what different feel.

Text wrapping in table

Hi,
i have a table and i want a column to have text wrapping.i am not able to make the column as text edit.I dont want it to be text view as i want that column to be editable.
Any ideas anyone?
PS:points will be rewarded for helpful answers.

You cannot set the cell editor to text edit unfortunately. You can get all possible cell editors by going to SE24 and do F4 on Object type CL_SALV_WD_UIE*
A solution to your problem would be displaying the text as textview (and use the method SET_WRAPPING to wrap or in case of a normal table mark the wrapping boolean) and add a button which popups a text editor. Of course this will need some programming efforts (creating new view and plugs, fetching selected column, linking context etc.).
I hope this will point you in the right direction.
With kind regards,

Text Box in Table Cell

I'm attempting to insert a text box into a table cell but can't. I can't drag one in there either. Are there settings I need to adjust to make this work?

I don't believe you can insert a text box into a table cell, but you can place a text box on a table cell. The trick is to make the text box floating with wrap turned off.

WD ABAP: Problem with Header text wrapping in Table Column

Hi,
I am unable to achieve Header Text wrapping for the TABLE columns. I have set the property "HeaderTextWrapping" to TRUE for each column and the "Fixed table layout" property has been set to TRUE.
Is there some property of the table/column I have to set to achieve this? Or does selection of a specific property remove option of HeaderText Wrapping?
Thanks,
Adithya

hi..
Try increasing the width of column keeping other thing as it is as you have done. And yes check whether cell editor property wrapping is set true.

Can't vertically center text within a table cell with a picture next to it

I have a table and each cell has a picture in it (which was "cut" from another part of the document and "pasted" into the cells). Next to it, I typed a few words. I want the words to be centered vertically within the cell. However, everytime I click on the vertical centering in the inspector, it moves the picture and the text remains at the very bottom of the cell. The text is "tied" to the picture. I've tried everything... highlighting the text, same thing. Can't figure it out!! Is there any way to do this without inserting text boxes??

Vertical align works on text within text boxes and within table cells.
I have just checked this using a table with:
*1st cell* Inline Picture with caption under. Cell sizes to fit
*2nd cell* Same as first, picture scaled down. Text and image centre vertically.
*3rd cell* Caption only, vertically centred.
It works and I have wrap turn off on the image, before I pasted it in.
On rereading the O.P.'s post it seems to be saying contradictory things. That the text is "tied to the picture" which is what you would expect of inline graphics and that the text is stuck in the bottom the cell.
Without a picture and a better description of the problem we are none the wiser.
I am just guessing but perhaps the O.P. has the image and Inline graphic on the same line and can't understand why the bottom of the text and the bottom of the image are aligned.
If this is the case it is a misunderstanding of what inline graphic means. The image acts just like a character in the text and sits on the text baseline, it is not an independent object.
It is possible to shift text next to the image or the image itself by selecting either and altering:
+Inspector > Text > More > Baseline Shift+
But frankly you would be better separating the 2 and putting the text in the cell to the left or right of the image.

Highlighting text in a table cell

Im trying to get text in a table have it background shaded a different colour to the rest of the table cell but it doesnt work. No exceptions are thrown does anyone have any idea.
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
        Object value,
        boolean isSelected,
        boolean hasFocus,
        int row,
        int column)
        setFont(table.getFont());
        this.setText(value));
        this.selectAll();
        this.setSelectionColor(new Color(0,0,255,100);
        return this;
    }

The answer is similar to what someone else asked recently for highlighting text in a JFormattedTextField cell.
class MyFocusListener extends FocusAdapter
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e)
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
selectAll();
Put that in your cell editor or its base class. You can change the color or whatever you want. I think the problem is a timing thing where normal focus processing is interrupting your changes. So give the focus processing time to run with this Runnable triggering your processing to occur on the Awt thread (as is proper) after the system is doing whatever it wants to do. Let us know if it works for you.

How to get text wrapping in single cell?

I know there's a text wrap setting where text will either go across horizontally, covering other cells, or stay in the same cell.
But I'm not sure how to change the setting where text will wrap in the same cell, and the row will become wider to accommodate the extra text. Some cells seem to be doing that, others don't.

Cash88 wrote:
It's not text wrapping, I didn't know what to call it.
When you add more text, rows either widen so that you can see all the text, or the row doesn't widen and it gets cut off at the end.
If you have wrap set to 'on' for a cell, the cell will expand vertically to accommodate more text as it is entered. This will cause the row containing the cell to also increase in height. Neither the cell nor the row will increase its width.
If wrap is set to 'off' for a cell, excess text will flow into an empty cell in the direction away from the edge to which the text is aligned in that cell. If any cell in that direction has content, the text display will be truncated at the boundary of that cell.
To my knowledge, there's no setting that will make cell width increase automatically to accommodate more text.

Select text of edited table cell

Hello,
I would like to have the text selected of a table cell i am editing. When i double click the cell, i can change the content of the cell, but i should manually select the text first.
I would like to have this text selected automatically.
Thank you in advance,
Rene Boere

Add a focus listener on the text field you are using in the cell editor. When the text field gets focus, tell it to select all of it's text. Something like this maybe:final JTextField tField = new JTextField();
tField.addFocusListener( new FocusListener() {
    public void focusGained( FocusEvent fe ) {
        tField.selectAll();
    public void focusLost( FocusEvent fe ) {

How do i delete text from a table cell

I want to delete text from a cell or table but not the cell or table themselves. How do I do this? The 'delete' function does not work.

Mac Word 2011. i found the answer: 'fn' (function') key + 'Delete' key. if i had a full desktop keyboard it would be the 'Del' key, NOT the 'Delete' key.

Text Formatting within table cells

This is probably a very beginner-type question.
I am using tables to create a page structure, with an 800x600
table encompassing 3 columns (two outermost two the nav bar and a
column with pictures in it.) The inner cell will be where I place
the majority of the text on my page. However, when I try to type in
the cell it always starts in the middle of the cell, and will never
start at the top of the cell. How do I fix this?

Set the vertical alignment of the cell to "top" using the
"valign" field on
the Property inspector when you click in the cell. And get a
good HTML

Wrapping table cell contents

Hi
I have a requirement where i need to wrap my table cell contents.I have chekced all the properties of table but none serves my purpose.Kindly help in this direction.
NWDS version : 7.3
Server version : 7.3 SP02
Thanks
Monika

Hi Monika
Wrapping property is not available at table level.
The individual columns header and content in the text views only you can wrap.
If the table column cell editor is a Text View , then you can see the Wrapping property and you can change it to true for wrapping.. For column headers also you can set the property.

Dragging Text in Table Cell

In older versions of Pages, dragging text from a table cell into another table cell would cause the 2 cells to swap text. In '09 the dragged text overwrites the text in the cell it's dropped into. Is there a way to go back to the old way?

No not that I know of.
I have tried all the possible keyboard combinations and none do what you want.
