RE: [flexcoders] Datagrid word wrap- it isnt working.

Sree and Hari,
 
Shouldn't you place the escaped new line char in single quotes?
 
var newHeader = Order + '\n' + Appl;

Hi Sree,

 

Thank you very much for the tip with two variables. I do remember this.

 

Thanks!
Hari

Thanks Hari,

I tried it ... it does work when you have want to construct the string from 2 non-variables.
In your case I assume Order and Appl are not 2 variables and I wonder why you would want a variable for the header :-) ...

But, I also found that if you want to construct from 2 variables such as Order and Appl, you will have to construct it as follows:

var Order;
var Appl;

var newHeader = Order+newline+Appl;

    var newHeader = Order+\n+Appl;
or var newHeader = Order\nAppl;

does not work!

Otherwise you are bound to get an error as follows!

Operator '+' must be followed by an operand

Regards
Sree

Yes, it is working. I can see "Order" and "Appl" in two lines in my datagrid.

 

Thanks!

Hari,

A bit confused ... does the variable declaration really work?

I was assuming that you have to use something like

var totalColumnName = "Total"newLine"Reserves";

for it to render correctly. I have a feeling that the \n would not work.
Can somebody clarify!

Nithya, and also you have to specify the height for the header!

       <mx:DataGrid width="100%" height="100%" variableRowHeight="true" headerHeight="30">

Regards
Sree

We had the same problem but the way we did roundabout to this is - declare a var with a value with "\n" char in it and then bind this var to datagrid headertext property as shown below.. It did work for me.

 

var ordappl="Order\nAppl";

.

.

 

<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="{ordappl}" columnName="order" textAlign="left" />

Thanks!
Hari

Have you set variableRowHeight to true?

Hai,

       when i give wordwrap="true" in a datagrid,  it isnt wraping the text... May i know the reason and the way  to rectify it?

I used something like this:

 <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="Total" headerText="Total reserves" wordWrap="true"/>

I want 'Total' in the first line and 'reserves' in the next line of the header.. How to do this?
