SWT Tree: Multi-line label [message #507244]

Tue, 12 January 2010 10:37

Hello,

With SWT, when one sets as text for a label of a tree a String with newlines in it (e.g. "This is\na multiline\nlabel"), the label is displayed on multiple lines.
This is an important property I would like to keep in the RAP version of my RCP application, but somehow I'm unable to manage to make it work. It's as if the newline were just dismissed by the tree
widget.

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Laurent,

I am sorry to say so but this is currently not possible with RAP. The
client-side Tree implementation does not support multi-line items.
Feel free to file an enhancement request. However, changes are low that
we can implement this in the near future because of the limitations of
the client-side Tree implementation.

Regards
Rüdiger

On SWT this multiline behavior is not consistent on all plaforms. The
only cross platfrom solution is to use owner draw.

What about multiline in TreeItem now? (In TableItem work tag <br/> to wrap text)

Hi Alexey,
Yes... if you enable markup support for Tree this should work. You could
specify custom item height as well.
Best,
Ivan
