Table, continu text on next line of row [message #441348]

Hello there,

Is there an option so the text in a row will continu on the next line?

My TableItem shows:

+--------------------+
| This is a text ... |
+--------------------+

I would like to have:

+--------------------+
| This is a text |
| that doesn't fit |
| on one line. |
+--------------------+

Thanks!

Oops I forgot to add my code:

Table table = new Table(shell, SWT.BORDER | SWT.FULL_SELECTION); //
SWT.SINGLE,
// SWT.MULTI,
table.setHeaderVisible(true);
table.setLinesVisible(false);

TableColumn tableColumn = null;

tableColumn = new TableColumn(table, SWT.LEFT);
tableColumn.setText("Description");
tableColumn.setWidth(180);
tableColumn.setResizable(false);

tableColumn = new TableColumn(table, SWT.LEFT);
tableColumn.setText("Distance & Time");
tableColumn.setWidth(100);
tableColumn.setResizable(false);

// table.getColumn(0).pack();
// table.getColumn(1).pack();

GridData data = new GridData();
data.horizontalAlignment = GridData.FILL;
data.verticalAlignment = GridData.FILL;
data.grabExcessHorizontalSpace = true;
data.grabExcessVerticalSpace = true;
table.setLayoutData(data);

Regards,

Sorry, the Windows table only supports one line of text in a cell.

Okay thanks for the answer; too bad :(

Is there some kind of walkarround out? I can create multiple rows to be
able to display all the text, but then I have the borders in between..

thanks a lot,

I've recently encountered this problem and my solution was to write a custom
control which renders its own text.

It didn't take me too long.

Another idea might be to draw images in the table's cells... You can easily
create a GC and a Image, draw two lines of text, and then place it in the
table.
