Multiline text in Table [message #461438]

Hey all,

is there a way to make a Table show multiline text on windows - not just one
messed up line?
On Linux everything works fine so far, but on Windows "\n" (actually all
escapes) are not working - instead boxes are shown.

Any hints?

Thanks a lot,
Fabian

Hi Fabian,

if you do not find a way doing this with swt table, you might want to
have a look on KTable. It offers the feature you need (and many more).

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ktable

Kind Regards,
Friederich

Thanks a lot!

Fabian,

I'm only new here, but I've been using code like

textbox.append("string\n")

and it writes another line. Have you remembered to set the style to MULTI?

OOPS - misread the original message. It's a Table not a Text - ignore my
ramblings.
