new line in textview

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I use textview ui element to show message(String).The attribute attached to this element is populated dynamically in code. I use new line character (\n) to move text to next line .This worked fine for me in earlier versions (SPS15).

Now that the systems are upgraded to SPS19.The text shows up in a single line.The new line is totally ignored.

Any faced similar issues or anybody know the way out pls post here..

Many Thanks,

Ashok.

Hi,

I dont think \n is recognized in Text View.

if you want to display formatted text then you should use Inline Frames

No, "\n" inside a string should be rendered as a new line, everything else is a bug.

Hi Ashok,

i have tried it out. The \n still works.

I created a string variable "str" as follows:

String str = "Hello" + '\n' + "How are you"

I passed this value to a context variable which was mapped to a textview UI.

The textview displayed the message on as follows:

Hello

How are you

Please try it again, in this fashion.

Open an OSS message (BC-WD-CLT-HTML).

Hi Armin,

can you please throw some more light on this issue.

you mean in sps19 this cannot be achieved at all?

Many Thanks,

Ashok,

This means that it is probably a bug in SP19 (regression)

If this is in fact true, you can't use functionality untill necessary patch will be released.

Btw, old versions of WD didn't have such functionality, common workaround was to use dynamic context/ui programming, split string up to lines and create as many attributes/TextView-s dynamically as number of lines. Every TextView shows single line.

I did not verify that this is a bug in SP19, but from your description it might be.

I've changed wording accordingly.

Hi Ashok,

set the layout width property = 'Npx' , where N is size of the line in pixels.

But for this, you need set the parent container layout property to 'Grid Layout'.

Hi,

Thanks for the immediate replies.

I do not need a fixed size text box and provide wrapping to move to the next line where the size ends.

Here I need to have logical breaks to a new line in code.So I use the new line character wherever required.

Many Thanks,

Ashok

Hi,

Then use TextEdit UIElement in disabled mode. Use a String variable and set it to textEdit Element. I am not sure whether it works for TextView also.

Hi,

Have you tried setting the "<i>Wrapping</i>" property of the "<i>TextView</i>" UI element to true?
