APEX shape: width of the control label

Hello
Using APEX 4.1.

I have a short and long (some are 100 characters) field labels. My question is how can I control the width of the label or in the label column... my long labels grow form regions right out of the borders of the model. Is there a way of globally defined or wrap labels?

Thank you

HM... you could use short tags instead of long and put the long description in the help text for the element. This help text is displayed when you use the label matching (as "optional with the help") model.

You can also put an html break tag ("< br="">" ") in the text of the label to force a two-line label at one time.

  • Width of the column label on css bar graph plugin

    Hi all

    Relatively new to the APEX.  Using the version 4.2.4.  I copied the CSS bar graph plugin which is used in the Bug Tracker demo app in my application and who uses it.  I'm very happy with the results except for one thing - the column label.  The label is truncated.  Is there a way to adjust the width of the column label in the table so that truncation does not or dressing it?  Please see screenshot.  Thank you in advance.

    Add the following CSS to replace the rule of the Inline CSS property page to extend the space allowed for labels:

    div.cbc table.cbc th span.cbc_label {
      max-width: 220px !important; /* Adjust dimension as required */
    }

  • Setting the width of the field label

    I have a form on which I have two of my fields (columns) in the same row, using the start on new line = No and field = No parameters for the second field. However, this second field label is has no spacing at each end, so that it starts really close to the value for the first column area and really ends close to the area of the value of its own column. I want to add a bit of space, perhaps to increase the width of the cell holding the 2nd label.

    The first obvious option did not work: add empty spaces to the label itself.

    I tried to enter s tyle = "width: 275px" and width = 275px in the field attributes of HTML table cell, but none who does nothing.

    Running on 4.1.0.00.28.

    Any thoughts?

    Tags to preserve the formatting and special characters

    Creating an example of apex.oracle.com is the best way to present a problem, especially those related to the HTML structure, page layout and form, the visual style and JavaScript.

    I tried to enter s tyle = "width: 275px" and width = 275px in the HTML table cell attributes field, but none of these makes anything.

    Which HTML attributes table cell? With start on new line = No and field = no. 1 point of control, the point label 2 and the 2nd point control will appear in the same cell, with only the attributes of the 1st checkpoint applied.

    width=275px 
    

    The width for cells in a table attribute is deprecated: use CSS instead. "275px" is also an invalid value for this attribute: value is a number that represents the width of the cell in pixels or percentage.

    The first obvious option did not work: add empty spaces to the label itself.

    Specification HTML load user agents to collapse the white space characters, so several areas will be grouped together in a single space.

    Round this is to use the non-breaking space character entity & nbsp; instead of standard spaces:

    {noformat}&{noformat}nbsp;{noformat}&{noformat}nbsp;Foo{noformat}&{noformat}nbsp;
    

    Another approach would be to apply CSS padding to the label by wrapping it in a spanstyle:

  • Change the width of the border of a control of LED?

    I am building a Windows Forms in VB.NET 2012 application.  Is it possible to change the width of the border of a LED control, or it is possible that in ASP.net Web form applications?

    Thank you.

    Hi DM@Means,

    I don't think it's possible with the Windows Forms application to change the width of border outright. You can change the type of control style LED which does not affect the width of the control, but does not control what you are probably looking for.

  • How can I get the Char String ring from the GUI Control Label

    Recalling the ring control text label of a ring of GUI control, not the control Label, but the label of the indexed by pairs value.

    GetLabelFromIndex is located in the index help online, and you can also find it in the Search tab. I don't know if that's what you hear.
    If what you mean is to ask how you would be able to find it if you have not already know his name, then I agree that just by typing keywords in the "search" tab is probably not the best idea. What could have done is to go to the section of the table of contents that lists all of the functions to be used with the list control, and then, look at what is there until I found what I needed. You don't even need to use the online help. You can use the library feature tree (UI library > graphics/controls/bands charts > list/tree controls (value/label)). Or better yet, just start with a function with that you know works
    trees and then look at the features around it.

  • block diagram control label display

    I hope this has an easy solution.

    I got code that has different formats for the control labels as they are posted on the block diagram.

    Some have rectangles around the label, others do not.

    I'm sure there's a simple (albeit tedious) way to make them all the same.

    I realize that this is only cosmetic, but I prefer to code to be consistent.

    I really don't like that as they are (although the new controls have rectangles, rectangles is probably better).

    Does anyone know how to set this property?

    Also, why would a view chosen on the other.  I guess it's just personal preference.

    Thank you

    I was in the same situation.  I prefer the no border around the labels.  I think the 8.5 they've added another property in the menu options, so you can choose whether you want the border.  The property is 'Use transparent name tags' on the block diagram tab.  To change existing labels, you can use the brush with T selected for color (if you don't want any border look).

  • Questions regarding the process of implementing container/control. How "parent of filling" and how to get the actual size of the control?

    I'm writing some UI component custom waterfalls. I went if the document several times and still have two questions:

    1. is it possible to adjust the width of the control to fill the container parent without specifying the number hardcoded in pixel? I see many example of code uses '768' as hardcoded width.

    2. I understand that the 'preferred size' could be ignored in some cases. Is it possible that I can get the actual size of the control on the screen programmatically?

    3. is there any signal was issued when a control container/finish covering all of its child nodes? How do I know what size of a control is finally decided?

    Thank you

    (1) you can use (QML)

    horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Fill
    

    or (C++)

    myControl->setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment::Fill);
    

    This will cause control occupy the entire width available to its parent. However, keep in mind you may have to use this property on all containers of parent to the node root to get the width of the full screen.

    As far as I KNOW simon_hain is located on the other two issues.

    ((2) & (3) I just dug around and you find LayoutUpdateHandler would do the job:

    mdodd answer on question 1) is correct.

    I can't believe they made a separate category for such a common task. Framework of stunts have had some serious consistency problems, that's what I feel.

    If I understand correctly, you want to display a different set of data in a DataGrid control for each selected item in a list?

    I would just use link:

    
    
    

    This assumes that this list is filled with the data elements in a format similar to this:

    {

    label: "Label 1 list."

    data:]

    {col1: "col1", col2: "col2"},

    {col1: "col1", col2: "col2"},

    {col1: "col1", col2: "col2"}

    ]

    Anyone know how I can configure the width of the part of the label of an edit field?  that is, I want to have my line to edit until a fixed width field labels.

    It is not possible to set the width of the part of the label of an editfield.

    In this case, you can use a LabelField with fixed width (the substitution of layout() method) and an EditField and add then both a HorizontalFieldManager.

  • How to specify the width of the column for classic report in 5 Apex?

    5 apex, I click on the name of the report in tabular form and then go to the tab report attributes.  When you look at the attributes column, there is a list of the database columns that are included in the report.  One of the attributes is the column width.  Regardless of the value, as I type, the column widths do not change when you view the results of the report.

    For a particular column of data in the report, which is editable, this is show only about 20 characters and I want to show him perhaps 50 characters.  It would be great if it would also wrap up the value of a new line when the size of the data is too large to fit in the allotted space.

    I guess that it is a simple setting and I looking in the wrong place.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    Kim

    Hi Kim

    Bakhtiyar post is the correct answer.  However, there are occasions where does not display the width option in the attributes Panel. that was the position that I assumed you are in.  It depends on how the form of tables was created.  If it was created using the wizard, no problem.  If the form has been created manually (IE without using the Wizard), and then depending on the model used, the width option does not appear.  The only way we found it is to recreate the form (using the Wizard).  Or use the css above.

    I hope that your form displays the width option.

    We strive to implement new APEX 5, menu navigation vertical available in universal theme and major limitation, that we face here is the width of the side Menu bar and it seems fixed and we can not change that by changing all the model. can you please let us how we can do it without making major changes in theme templates.Apex5_sidenavigation_issue.PNG

    Thanks for the information of Kiran, but do not go for the shared components and we can save and make the current style Pebble theme it yourself (very cool feature) and regarding the issue I have with this custom style CSS not getting not properly applied is due to the incorrect configuration of services remains. and you can see in the page of the tab style of the universal theme, there is a CSS OUTPUT file Url parameter which is a JSON string (#THEME_DB_IMAGES #11918460990413349.css) and it will not work properly if we do not properly configure the rest services.

    I think I'm all set now, thanks for your help.

  • Dynamics and 100% width of the HTML5 graph in apex 4.2

    I have problems with the size of the HTML5 Apex 4.2 graphic.

    Apex engine generates a call like this before the end of the page:

    (function() {apex.widget.chart ("R2294624206389386", {"type": "SVG_ONLY", "width": "800", "height": "200", "regionId": "2294624206389386"}) ;})}) ();

    He gets out of #GENERATED_JAVASCRIPT # of page template and in turn creates the graph.

    Due to being wwv_flow_flash_charts_5.chart_width of digital field, there is no way I could successfully enter and save value '100%' for the width of the graphic, so my card ever gets developed to fit the container div element.

    Does anyone have a portable solution for the same problem?

    Height and width of the graphics leave empty.

    Although these areas show a necessary asterisk, they aren't required more.

    Now, the table should automatically adapt to the size of the screen. My tests have shown that it doesn't work very well according to the models are used.

    Just try it, hope you lucky ;-)

  • Is it possible to set the width of a text label of a document?

    Hello - we have a library template that is downloaded with labels of text for the merge fields, {{my_text_tag}}.

    Everything works fine, except that in the rendered document, the width of the text field is not set to scale the content in the field, but just the space allocated for the field. That is to say, if we have a field that will contain a number:

    > You will be charged for $30.00 in two weeks.

    in the document, and set the field as:

    > You will be charged for {{weekly_billing_amount}} in two weeks.

    When the fields are merged and then sent to the signatory, the output looks like:

    > You will be charged for $30.00 in two weeks.

    Is it possible to send a parameter via the text field to set the maximum width of the field? something like {{weekly_billing_amount:width(10)}}?

    Thought about it - missed me the dollar sign in front of the defined var:

    {{#dollar =! weekly_billing_amount}}

    {{$dollar}}

    Make the desired output.
