Newline in formattedtextview

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a formattedtextview UI element that I want to fill with certain values at runtime.

All these values should be on different lines . How do I use the new line character to achieve this.

I tried to append these values in a String (displayText) and used \n for new line. I then converted this to formatted text using:

IWDFormattedTextFactory instance =

(IWDFormattedTextFactory) WDHelperFactory.getInstance(IWDFormattedTextFactory.class);

String value = displayText;;

IWDFormattedText formtext = instance.fromPlainText(value);

wdContext.currentContextElement().setFoTxt(displayText);

This however does not work.The data comes on one line

Can someone suggest.

TIA.

Use +"\n" in the string it will split into new line

Hi Rakesh,

\n does not work for formattedtextview UI.

Sorted....

We need to use

IWDFormattedText valueOf(String text)

and not

IWDFormattedText fromPlainText(String text)

Instead of "\n" use "<br></br>"
