Hey,

which field should I use for an info text inside a form? It should not be editable, but support multiline texts. The LabelField didn't work for me.

Thanks for your suggestions Smile

I use an HtmlField on top of my form. It works nice with Swing (I am not sure of the behaviour with SWT).

Notice that you can also use basic HTML in the LabelField with Swing (this produces multiline text). This do not work with SWT.

@Order(10.0)
public class InfoField extends AbstractLabelField {

  @Override
  protected int getConfiguredGridW() {
    return 2;
  }

  @Override
  protected int getConfiguredGridH() {
    return 2;
  }

  @Override
  protected boolean getConfiguredLabelVisible() {
    return false;
  }

  @Override
  protected void execInitField() throws ProcessingException {
    setValue("<html>Please <b>select</b> one of the questions.<br>And use the context menu.</html>");
  }
}
