Wrapping JavaFx Text Component

I am using Text component to display some text looks like there is no way to automatic wrapping like label component. I only found
text.setWrappingWidth(double d)
But this needs a number as a constraint. I have some other component next to the text element whose size is dynamic so I can't give a fixed number to limit the text wrap. Is there any way to automatically wrap if the space is not enough ?
Note : I am using Text instead of label because it honors \n character for deliberate next line wrapping but it is not possible to go through the whole text file and make sure it has a \n so that it wraps to next line.

Label also recognizes the \n character.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.LabelBuilder;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class LabelTest extends Application {
  @Override
  public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
   root.setCenter( LabelBuilder.create()
        .text("This is line 1.\n\nThis is line 2. "
            +"If there is not enough horizontal space "
            +"this line will wrap.")
        .wrapText(true)
        .build() );
   Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 400);
   primaryStage.setScene(scene);
   primaryStage.show();
  public static void main(String[] args) {launch(args);}
}

  • Center text in a text component with line wrapping

    I need to display dynamic text in a text component. I need line wrapping (on work boundaries) and also need horizontal and vertical center alignment.
    How do I do this? I saw a previous post on aligning text in a JTextArea that said to use a JTextPane but I don't see in JTextPane how to do word wrapping.
    Thanks,

  • Disable wrapping of words in static text component inside gridpanel

    Hi
    I'm using static text components inside gridpanel. Now I noticed that in several cases the text, if consisting of several words, is broken into several lines both in the designer and at runtime.
    Question: is there a way to tell a static text component to never wrap the text into several lines?
    thanks, Peter

    Hi Peter,
    Check if the width of the gridpanel has been set. In case the width property has a fixed value then the static text component would wrap the text content to fit the width of the gridpanel.
    For example, below are the steps I followed:
    1. Drag and drop a gridpanel
    2. Drag and drop a staticText onto the gridpanel
    3. In the text property of the staticText enter the following sentence "This is a static text in a gridpanel which has only one column"
    4. It can be seen that the entire sentence is in one line
    5. Now select the gridpanel and click on the ... button next to style property to open up the style dialog
    6. Click on Position
    7. Under size, set the width to 100 px
    8. Click on OK
    9. As can been the sentence is now displayed over 5 lines
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

  • Word processing within a text component

    Although this is a potentially great application, I am at present prevented from using it to create a website due to the lack, as far as I can determine, of any form of processing individual text within the text components e.g. making individual words or word groups bold or italic or giving them COLORS.
    I have large informatory text areas on my pages which need this sort of processing in order to avoid client eyestrain as well as my own.
    Of course one can get around this to some extent by using multiple components but for long texts this quickly becomes very tedious and error prone, especially if one wants to copy from another source.
    The Static Text component, which I presume is meant for this sort of text, in it's present simple form allows word wrap but no line formatting. The basic Text Area component (multiple lines) has no word wrap but does allow line formatting. However when one sets the Read Only property, it seems that any self created line formatting is duly destroyed. This is strangely not the case with the old Standard Mutliline Text Area component.
    I may be missing something but if not I hope that these features may yet be incorporated.
    Regards,
    Dave

    You can use static text to render pure HTML, just set "escape" property to false.
    Note that the HTML text must be well former.

  • How to create a text Component With Certain Properties

    I need to create a text component with the following properties:
    Has Capability to be italic, right/left aligned, have different background / foreground colors, and most importantly, the ability to have a fixed width and a height that is set by the amount of text in it (ie line wrapping expands the field vertically).
    It should be a simple exercise, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do it.

    Here is the correct syntax :
    private static JEditorPane constructPane(String text, int normWidth, int normHeight, boolean rightAlign, boolean italic,boolean isWhite) {
              JEditorPane pane = new JEditorPane();
              pane.setEditable(false);
              pane.setContentType("text/html");
              pane.setText(
                   "<html><head></head><body>"
                   + (italic?"<i>":"")
                   + "<table><COLGROUP><COL width=\""+normWidth+"\"><THREAD><tr><td valign=\"top\" align="+(rightAlign?"\"right\"":"\"left\"")+">"
                   + text+"</td></tr></table>"
                   + (italic?"</i>":"")
                   + "</body></html>");
              pane.setSize(normWidth,normHeight);
              if(isWhite)
                   pane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(1,0,1,0,Color.WHITE),BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(0,1,0,1)));
                   pane.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
              else {
                   pane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(1,0,1,0,Color.BLACK),BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(0,1,0,1)));
                   pane.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
              return pane;
         }

  • Choice of Text Component

    Hi!
    I need the text component for image and text or only the text output. I also need scrolling, if it is needed, and auto line wrapping.
    In general, I need multiline JLabel with scrolling, line and word wrapping.

    HowdyTom.Sanders:
    where in the formatting help does it tell you how to embed links in the text rather than having to use the ugly URL?To see how it's done, click reply to camickr's post, then click quote original -- basically the format is:
    [ url link] whatever [ /url] (tag with no space).

  • Wrapping the text on the confirmation dialog

    Can any one pls tell me how to wrap the text on a confirmation dialog?
    thanks in advance.
    regards
    Lakshminarayanan.V

    Hi,
    Currently this is simply not possible. Probably later TextView UI element will be enhanced to support this (at least, this feature is at "Whish List", search this forum for word POLL), and confirmation dialogs will inherit desired behavior automatically.
    For now you have to create your own component and use it pop-over window as confirmation dialog. In your component you may either use TextArea for multi-line display (quick and ugly) or split string into several context attributes and display them using several TextView UI elements (either dynamically created or pre-created till some reasonable maximum, say, 5 lines <-> 5 controls)

  • Script tags in text component

    Is there a way to for script tags to be allowed when pasting html code in the text component using the source edit view. When I paste script tags, they are removed when I click OK.

    I don't believe there is a reliable way to use the source edit to paste in javascript.
    Generally if I have this kind of requirement where author's need the ability paste in raw code (javascript, CSS, or markup) I will create a custom component for this that uses a text area widget rather than a rich text editor. If all I want to allow for is savascript I will have component's JSP print out the wrapping script tags, therefore preventing an author from using the component to print out unauthorized markup/styling.
    Obviously there is a risk to giving author's this level of control - you give them the ability violate brand and style standards and the ability to break a page (with either bad markup/styling or javascript errors).

  • Issue in wrapping of text in TextEdit control

    Hi,
    I'm developing an occasionally connected application using NetWeaver Mobile 7.1. In one of the view, I use TextEdit control to display the address information where the address is a multiline text data. During testing of the application in the simulator, the wrapping of text in the TextEdit control is not working properly. The wrapping property of TextEdit control is set to "soft" but the text is not getting wrapped. Even I tried the other option "hard" wrapping but it throws some error while building of the application.
    Please suggest a solution to do wrapping of text using TextEdit control.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    DVR.

    Hi Nipun,
    The rows and cols properties are already set and also the data is multiline but the text is not wrapping.
    Say the properties of a TextEdit control rows is "4" and cols is "30" was set. The data is also a multiline text say each line has more than 30 characters. During wrapping of text with in TextEdit control the first row should have only 30 characters and rest should be wrapped off to the next row and so on.
    But during execution what happens is the text is not getting wrapped instead the first row itself has all the characters of first line of the text and second row has next line of text and so on. The text in a row can be scrolled through using horizontal scrollbar.
    My need is the horizontal scroll bar should not come and the text need to the wrapped off with number of cols specified.
    Regards,
    DVR

  • How to wrap the text in column headers?

    Hi Friends,
    Can anyone please suggest how to wrap the text in column headers of a Java WebDynpro table?
    I believe that caption is the only UI element that a column header can have and it does not allow wrapping of the text.
    My original requirement is as follows,
    In a table I need to dynamically set the width of the columns according to the width configured by the user in some other view. All the columns of the table are dynamically rendered.
    Now what happens is when the user sets the width of the column to a rather low value, say 15 pixels, then the column is displayed like
    Supplier Catalog Name
    Sheila
    Catalog
    Name
    Dropdown
    As you can see it looks rather odd.
    Supplier Catalog Name is the header of the column and I use IWDCaption for header.
    Sheila Catalog Name Dropdown is the value of a particular row at the specified column. I am using a TextView as the TableCellEditor.
    I think what is happening here is that the framework wraps the text in the TextView according to the width specified (15px) and then the column width is extended because it can not accommodate the text (Supplier Catalog Name ) of the column header.
    We are using SAP NetWeaver Development Studio 7.0.12 as the IDE.
    I searched some forums and many people have suggested using scrollable columns but I don't understand how it will help in wrapping the text in a column header.
    Any help would be of great advantage.
    Thanks
    Amit

    Hi Deepti,
    Thanks a lot for the answer but the option that you have specified does not wrap the text. Instead it truncates the text being displayed and only the substring of the text which could be displayed in the given pixels is displayed.
    I need to show the whole text wrapped (Meaning if the width of the column is not sufficient then the text goes into the next line).
    Ayyapparaj,
    Thanks to you too for an helpful answer. It seems that the Netweaver has finally come up with a way to wrap the text in the column headers but as Manoj pointed out, I do not see the property headerTextWrapping  for a table column, Can you please specify which version of netweaver supports it?
    We are using SAP NetWeaver Development Studio 7.0.12 as the IDE.

  • Append hyphen automatically after the wrapping of text in the dimension field

    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    Thanks for your input.
    Let me tell you what I have understood. I will create a variable having the formula (which i have earlier written) in universe. Whenever i need to use the formula in infoview, I will call the variable instead. That's fine. But again, I will have the same problem. If I do any change in infoview level, the cell width is bound to change as it is not the free standing cell, its a column among othe one. e.g.
    A  B  C
    1  2  3
    4  5  6
    (you can think B as the column). Any change(addition, deletion of columns) will certainly change the cell width of B. So, again I need to calculate the things, which i dont want.
    Nita_here: I manually calculated that after 12 characters, the cell wraps the text.
    I wonder if there would be a way to do the things dynamically.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nita

  • JTable - Dynamic wrapping of text in a cell.

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me how to dynamically wrap the text in a particular cell of a JTable if it is to long to be displayed on one line? I don't care if it affects the row height. Basically, I have a table with 3 columns, the thrird of which is a "notes" column and allows up to 500 characters to be displayed. When the text is too long the table truncates it with an elipsis (...) and the user can't see the rest. I would like the text to wrap within the cell (even if the height has to change) so that the user can read the entire note more easily.
    Thank you,
