RichTextField truncation of text or ellipsis

• Truncation of text instead of packing...

  I might be willing to something that is not technically possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

  I'm looking for a text truncator that will calculate how much room is on a line of text, and if text exceeds the horizontal space allotted, she cuts it and adds a «...» "at the ennd.

  Of course, because an OOOO and a line with iiii raise significantly different amounts of horizontal space, simply go with a fixed number of characters is not a viable solution. It should almost be a width in pixels.

  Is it feasible at all?

  I'm open to solutions javascript/jquery and css.

  Try CSS text-overflow .

  Example:

  div {}

  Width: 100px;

  overflow: hidden;

  white-space: nowrap;

  -o-text-overflow: ellipsis;

  -moz-text-overflow: ellipsis;

  -webkit-text-overflow: ellipsis;

  text-overflow: ellipsis;

  }

• Truncate the text after the first line in TextFlow

  I have a TextFlow object that is rendered in a Sprite with several lines.

  For a compact display, I now want to show only the first line, followed by 3 dots (...).

  I've not found a good approach up to now.

  There is a support for truncation.  It is limited to cases of use of label and requires the use of the TextLine factories.  There is no support for text editable with truncation.   Example below.

  Hope that helps,

• [Q] text on ellipse

  Hello.

  I am doing a project for my friend and I want to "delivered" text to be upside, but still be on the way, ships 2nd I did it in the 'Text wrapped' tool for the text.

  In addition, it would be nice if the text of 'material' was in the 2nd direction.

  

  You need to duplicate the layer and the path and the reversal at the global level by adjusting the alignemnt of text until it 'is', after which you edit the text on the two layers to maintain the illusion. You can also rotate the layer duplicated using free transform, but will still need to make some changes and formatting text.

• Text field Forms 10 g (which doubles as a text editor) is text to be truncated.

  I have 2000 text field of characters on a form 10g which is one called 'comments '.
  You can enter in the field
  Or click the button next to the field and who calls EDIT_TEXTITEM forms;
  And opens the field as a text editor.
  
  GO_ITEM ('inventory_coding.COMMENTS');
  EDIT_TEXTITEM;
  
  The problem is:
  When we went to forms on the web application server 10g,
  The area is truncating the text background,
  And the text is remarkably low sitting on the ground,
  At the top of the text in the middle of the field.
  
  The field shows the first 30 characters of the top line of all that is in the editor.
  (the text in the Editor seems fine)
  
  Comment fields properties are:
  * police = Ariel 8 in the comment field is the same as other fields on the screen (ariel 8)
  If you increase the size of the font to ariel 8 to 10, the truncation increases.
  If you go the next police, ariel 7, it also truncates.
  * This is the same hauteur.188 as the rest of the fields on the form.
  * Page/justify was initially start and tried to justify in left and Center, both of truncation.
  * Multiline = yes
  * Wrapstyle = Word
  * I checked all the properties of the field coment and his call button.
  and I tried to change each property with no improvement.
  
  My goal is to decrease the space above the text in the comments field.
  Any ideas how can I manipulate the text in the field?
  Any suggestion is appreciated!

• Representative of the long text on label with 3 points

  Hello

  I have a label field that has a fixed layoutchild, which is relatively low for the content of the very long label...

  That part of the text that the label can contain is displayed alone... But I would like to add three points after the text to display for the user that there is always a part of the text that is not displayed...

  How can I achieve this?

• MYSQL text field appears correctly in Datagrid

  Hello

  I have a datagrid which gets its data from a webservice. The result is a text field in the mysql database which is something like this:

  Hello

  Some text here. Some more text.

  Thank you

  When that field is displayed in the DataGridColumn, only the first line is to say 'Hi', gets displayed. I tried to set the property wordwrap and variableRowHeight true. but dsnt work. I even put the ItemEditor to mx.controls.Text and mx.controls.TextArea. Still nothing. No idea how to get all the text to display in the column.

  Still one thing to note is that I have the itemRenderer for this datagrid to mx.controls.Label column, so that if the textcontent is greater than the content of the cell, datagrid will truncate the text and display a ToolTip. So, I expected the ToolTip is displayed in this case, but it dsnt.

  I confirmed that the webservice response contains the paragraph of text... so it only means that things are going wrong during the time display...

  Help, please!

  Because you used the label as driving force of rendering you will get a... When the width of text > width of the label. But here you don't him have not found because the width of the text could not be greater than the width of the label. The text in question here is a multiline text. Label will show only single line. And the longer your data line is also less than the width of the label. That's why not. You can check this by giving a long line of your data and it will show a... and the ToolTip (if you use the label as itemrenderer).

  The default item converter will display the multiline text. So no need to specify any itemRenderer.You may have variableRowHeight set to true. There is no need to use the itemEditor to get what you are looking for. Yet one thing, an editor of point will only work if you set the property editable DataGrid and the itemeditor usage column is set to true.

  Hope that I have answered your question

• Truncate the Label control

  Hello!

  How can I trucate a label control?

  I put it is with 100% in a tray of pixels about 112 and what he does in Flex 4, is jumping on the next line.

  How can I get cut and Add «...» "in the end, based on the width of the container, please?

  1 value to explicit linebreak and maxDisplayedLines

  To disable this automatic packaging machine, set lineBreak style to "explicit" . Then the lines are broken where only the text contains an explicit line break and the ends of the lines stretching from past the edge right is cut off.

  If you have more text that you have room to display it, the Label may truncate the text for you.   Tronquantes text, replace text with an indicator of truncation such as «...» ».   See inherited properties maxDisplayedLines and isTruncated .

• JDE 4.7 CAP question?

  I I have a problem with a JDE 4.7 code signing application and it seems that it is apparent to the CAP JDE 4.7 compiler.

  Basically I modified HelloWorld.java that comes with JDE 4.7 examples to add an API call control (see below for more details). Then, I compiled and generated the jad and jar files. After that, I used the following command line to generate the .cso, .csl and .cod files JDE 4.2 and 4.7 JDE environment respectively with exactly the same file jad and jar file:

  CAP import = net_rim_api.jar = HelloWorldSigning = HelloWorldSigning.jad HelloWorldSigning.jar jad codname

  However, I found that HelloWorldSigning.cso generated under 4.7 environment does not have entry "52525400 = RIM Runtime API" in it compared with that generated under environment 4.2. (The HelloWorldSigning.csl files are the same). As a result, the signed HelloWorldSigning.cod less 4.7 will get "attempts to access a secure API" error loading on devices of the storm, then the HelloWorldSigning.cod signed under 4.2 has no problem. If I manually fix the file cso by adding the missing entry under 4.7, it will solve the problem.

  No idea what's wrong with him?

  PS:

  HelloWorldSigning.csl under 4.2 and 4.7 as follows:

  52525400 = RIM API implementation

  HelloWorldSigning.cso less than 4.7:

  33000000 = RIMAPPSA2
  52424200 = RIM Blackberry Apps API
  52434300 = RIM API Crypto - Certicom
  52434900 = RIM Crypto API - internal
  52435200 = RIM API Crypto - RIM

  HelloWorldSigning.cso minus 4.2:

  3000000 = RIMAPPSA2
  52434300 = RIM API Crypto - Certicom
  52434900 = RIM Crypto API - internal
  52435200 = RIM API Crypto - RIM
  52525400 = RIM API implementation
  52424200 = RIM Blackberry Apps API

• Using DrawTextParam in a LabelField

  The problem I have is that I need an ellipsis at the beginning of the text.

  I have a method that creates a LabelField, it displays a path to a file. The file must have the end of the file visible.

  That's why I need ellipsis at the beginning so that the user can see the end of the path. I looked around and came across DrawTextParam. One of the fields is exactly what I need (TRUNCATE_WITH_ELLIPSIS_AT_START) but I can't find any style/method that accepts it.

  Is there a way I can use it on a field? Perferably LabelField but if something else accept it so I can change my code.

  Scratch what I just said. I did not read the documentation on this topic. If you use the SELECTION with TRUNCATE_BEGINNING field it truncates the text and add the points of suspension at the front of the text. Thanks Rajat_10Sep.

• Screens, backgrounds and Bitmaps

  I'm still struglling with graphs and screens.  I thought that I understood.

  change the background while the program is runing

  Add a new screen and vertical field as a popup screen for my custom button Manager

  But I need to cross first in the background.

  ADDING A VERTICAL MANAGER WITH CUSTOM BUTTONS FIELD WORK, change the background doesn't work. Note that I caught the code directly from the knowledge base.  The background command make it past the build, but does nothing, I still have a white screen and the transparent parts of my selected button show in the background of the theme.

  Screen is the screen or basic framework of the user of RIM interface class.
  Display display = new MainScreen();

  Any help is appreciated!

  I was beginning to think it was a focus problem.  But what through me is that blue takes a place defined by the scope of the key.  Blue focus on the Blackberry keyboard seems to extend to the surrounding graphics. Finally, I would like to add the blue ring to my buttons, but the Blue will have to overlap the surrounding buttons, does not stop at the scope.  The focus indicator, I'm getting is THEREFORE unacceptable.

  No worries if.  Time for me to BONE up on the focus and the blue (theme controlled) focus indicator.  If I can't understand, I will beg for help again.

  I have this will mark it as resolved when I have a moment.

  According to my interpretation of the Javadocs, instead:

  DFM. Add (HFM);

  you will need

  dfm.addCustomField (hfm);

  have you tried that?

  In my code, I tested 5 methods. But, I think that all of them blocked the line where there is method of 'received() '.

  If there is someone who can help me find my problem, it's going to be great. (Or if there is someone who wants to send me a complete code that works, it will be better than the grand )

  Thank you for all the answers.

  I agree with you. It's better if I post a solution.

  I have re-written some other program that gets the phone number and the content of the incomming SMS.

  Here is my code

  public class smsReceived extends UiApplication
  {
      private LabelField _status;
      private DatagramConnection _dc;
  
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
          new smsReceived().enterEventDispatcher();
      }
  
      public smsReceived()
      {
          super();
          waitASms();
     }
  
      public void waitASms()
      {
          try
          {
              _dc = (DatagramConnection)Connector.open("sms://");
              for(;;)
              {
                  Datagram d = _dc.newDatagram(_dc.getMaximumLength());
                  _dc.receive(d);
                  String address = new String(d.getAddress());
                  String msg = new String(d.getData());
              }
          }
          catch (IOException e)
          {
              System.err.println(e.toString());
          }
      }
  }
  

  In this code, the string 'address' is the phone number and the string 'msg' is the content.

  To view, please do another method with this channels.

  Next time.

• Terms of Service dialog

  Dear Sir

  I wonder how to implement such terms of service screen has App World.

  I tried to make a class that extends the dialogue and build but how do I open it to start?

  I want to show if possible before the first screen is pushed.

  I have no problem to decide whether or not this is the first start of the application, this is already done.

  But I already have display problems of the dialog without a pushed screen application.

  And how close the application correctly if the user refuses?

  Best regards

  Bullety

  If you absolutely must push the TOS dialog box before the first screen of the application, you need to use pushModal() with the property 'GLOBAL '.

  I'd say ditch the dialog class and make your own TOS dialog using PopupScreen with a RichTextField for TOS text. You'll want to place two buttons 'Accept' and 'I refuse. "

  You provide a getResponse() (or other) method that returns the value of the key (such as 0 = Accetpt, 1 = decline). If the answer is the decline, you can call System.exit (0)
