Wrap text in Report column

Hi,
I've tried to set a standard report's column width in all available places in the column's attributes but it ignores me. I'm using Apex 3.1 and found a javascript workaround but am sure there must be an easyer way.
Can someone tell me where I have to set the width so it wraps text into the needed amount of lines? I searched for it because I was sure there'd be something but not found nothing (maybe not searching right :p )
Thank you,
Marc

Hi Chris,
Done what you said but the column still takes the width of it's content. Any idea why might that be?
The only solution I've found that works for now is this javascript process:

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.

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.

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

Text wrap effects text in different columns differently

In InDesign CS4, if you have a 2-column text box and a graphic with a text wrap that spans from one column into another, the text wrap will offset the text in the two columns by different amounts if the graphic is aligned with the top of the text box. That shouldn't happen; the very same text wrap on the very same graphic should offset the text in the two columns by the same amount. But it doesn't. The baselines will not line up from column to column.
Clearly you can get around this if you snap to a baseline grid. But what if you don't want to use baseline grid? Is there a way to get the text wrap to offset the text in both columns equally?
I have attached a screen capture to demonstrate the problem. In this case, the baselines align, but the text wrap is clearly affecting the text in the left column and not affecting the text in the right column, even though they are aligned on the same baseline! Any suggestions?

You're right, it shouldn't happen, but it's a long-standing bug (or feature). One workaround is to use a baseline grid. Another is to adjust the wrap offset so that it matches the baseline in the opposite column. Another way is to not design so a wrapped object blocks the full width of one column but not it's neighbor. It doesn't matter where you have the wrapped object -- if it completely blockst the top of one column and leaves a any space at the top in an adjacent column where text will fit, you'll get the potential for unbalanced baselines.
The reason it happens is that in a column where text can reach the top, the baseline for the first line is controlled byt he first baseline settings in the text frame options. If the text can't reach the top of the column the positioning is controlled by the depth of the object and any additional offset for the wrap.

Can "Standard Report Column" be the Default Instead of "Display as Text"

Almost every report region I write has some html in at least one column, whether it's a break or an apex_item or something else. Hence, when the region renders with the default settings, the column shows the html code - I have to change the column display type from "Display as Text" to "Standard Report Column".
Is there some setting to make "Standard Report Column" the default? (Isn't that kind of what the word Standard implies?)
Thanks,
Gregory

Is there some setting to make "Standard Report Column" the default? (Isn't that kind of what the word Standard implies?)In earlier versions of APEX "Standard Report Column" was the default. The default was changed in APEX 4.0 to "Display as Text" (which escapes HTML-sensitive characters) as a security measure to limit vulnerability to XSS attack. This is necessary for the protection of users and (so-called) developers who are not security conscious/HTML savvy.
There's no option to change this, and I doubt that one will be provided in the future. The indications are that the Oracle APEX team are committed to blocking as many security holes as possible by default, leaving it to the developer to consciously make any modifications that increase the surface exposed to attack.

APEX CSS - How do I get data in report columns to wrap?

I found information here http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/APEX_FAQ
About How do I get data in report columns to wrap?
This works and another way to do it is by adding the CSS directly into the
Home>Application Builder>Application 137>Page 1>Report Attributes>Column Attributes page
in the Column Formatting area. I added 'white-space:normal' and this works in FF but in
IE it has a different behavior.
In FireFox
testasdgadhad
gadfadgadgadg
adgafhsrgjsgnsfg
nsdfbadfafhafha
dfhadfh
In Internet Explorer
testasdgadhad gadfadgadgadg adgafhsrgjsgnsfg nsdfbadfafhafha dfhadfh
Is there a way to force it so it display in IE the same way that it displays in FF?
The correct display format is FF.
Thanks,
Nestor :)

I have try this because I found it during a search and it makes no difference in IE.
This is what I am using now 'display: block; width: 100px;max-width:100px;white-space:normal'
I also tried 'display:block; width:500px'
If I use the values 'normal' or 'pre' for white-space' it works in FireFox but not in IE, The display block
does not seem to make a difference. It seems that all I need is 'white-space:normal' but again
it does not works on IE.
Thanks,
Nestor :-)

How to align headline to column, rather than wrapped text

I have a large text box containing multiple paragraphs aligned to the left. Throughout there are 5 sub heads that need to be centered. There are images that the paragraphs are wrapping to. When I use the Align Center option for the subheads, some are aligned to the entire text box and some are aligned to the center of the wrapped text. (The images do not extend to the subheads, so it is not a situation where the text wrap is forcing the subheads to move) I would like all of the subheads to be consistently in the center of the entire text box - is there an option I am missing?
Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I appreciate any help!

This one is using dummy text, but it shows the same issue I am having. You can see where Subhead #2 and #4 are affected by the image text wrap. I know I can use a center tab, but am wondering if there is a way to change the settings to make them center to the entire column.
(The red dotted line is just to show where that the center line.)
Thanks!

How to display special characters in APEX Classic Report column

Ref: Thread: How to display newline characters as new lines
Version: APEX 3.2
Hi,
I have created an classic SQL Report with one of the columns being a decode that gives a value 'Post'(the value should be highlighted in Red) on one condition and 'Pre' on another. I have followed the advice given in the page (URL provided above) , i.e. I have changed Strip HTML to 'No', changed Display as to 'Display as text (escape special characters, does not save state)'. I have also passed this value back to the same page to be stored in a page item each time a link (another column in report) in report is clicked. I have tried passing it as #DEADLINE# and \#DEADLINE#\. The issue I face is, instead of the value being highlighted in Red, it gets passed back as a string holding the value 'Post'. Is there any way I can get this to display as it should without the Strip HTML being changed to 'Yes'.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I am trying to display a page item that is derived from a report column based on a click on the URL link (*view >*>)
This page item (here, it is Manager_ID) should ideally be highlighted when a particular condition is satisfied (achieved using a DECODE in the report).
But it is not displayed like it should be.
I do not want the value to be displayed along with the html tags as a string.
I want the html tags to take effect and highlight the value within it.
Initially, I had set Strip HTML to Yes and the value was returned without any highlighting .
So I changed it to 'No' and and it contained the html tags.
I am not sure what setting in APEX Report Attributes can help me achieve that effect I want.None of the report settings are relevant. They affect the rendering of the report and none of the columns you were changing the properties of were actually rendered.
You can't pass HTML and CSS around in URL parameters.
I suggest you pass *2* values in the column link: the MGR ID and a simple class or colour value computed by the DECODE in the report. I've suppressed the first version of the report and created a new one that does this:
decode(dept.deptno, '30', 'c00', '000') highlight The link column now passes the MGR ID and the HIGHLIGHT colour (red when the condition is satisfied and black when it is not).
I created another hidden and protected page item <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> as the target for the highlight value, and used the Pre/Post Element Text properties of the <tt>P0_G_MGR</tt> to wrap it in a <tt>span</tt> whose colour is changed using the <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> value as a subtitution string:
<span style="color: #&P0_HIGHLIGHT.;">Having done that, I still don't really get the requirement here. I'm sure that given the full picture I'd be using a completely different approach...

Preserving leading spaces in a report column.

Hi
I have a report region derived from a sql query. One of the columns in the database can contain leading spaces. However, my report column is not displaying the leading spaces.
These are the things I've tried:
On the Column Attributes page, under Column Formatting, I have entered CSS Class = "code".
Also on the Column Attributes page, under Tabular Form Element, I have selected Display As = Text Field and I have entered Element Attributes = class="code" READONLY.
However, the report does not look nice. The column looks too different from the other columns (disabled text field vs standard report columns). Can anyone suggest a better fix for this problem?
Thanks.
Jo

Here's 3 ways to do it:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=25262:1
CSS WS - using the CSS white-space: pre property (here in the Column Formatting/CSS Style property, or it could be done with a class and an external style sheet); doesn't work in Win IE 6 :-(
HTML Exp - wrapped the column in a <pre> tag in the report SQL [doing this in the Column Formatting/HTML Expression property didn't work - it stripped the spaces. Anyone know if this expected?]. Also had to add a .t4data pre { display: inline; } style rule to the page to remove unwanted default formatting.
&nbsp; - replaced the spaces in the column in the report SQL with HTML non-breaking spaces: replace(..., ' ', '&nbsp;')
Given the Win IE restriction on the CSS approach, the last one looks like the simplest solution.
