Too long text on a Label [message #447912]

Hi,

Quick question...

I have a Label-SWT-widget on my Eclipse Editor (own editor). The label is
on a Composite-widget.

Now when I put a long string to that label, the label becames too wide and
it does not fit into the screen anymore.

Is there any way to 'wrap' the text in a Label into multiple rows? or do I
have to generate a new Label for each (let's say) 50 characters?

Hi,

You should try with TableWrapLayout.

See

Hi,

Thanks for the tip!!
I guess this Layout is implemented only in Eclipse R3 not in Release 2.x
!!? Atleast I wasn't able to find it from the R2 API.

In 3.1, GridLayout and FormLayout support wrapping.
