Re: How can I automatically word wrap a string placed in a (multicolumn) listbox ?

Hi,
To compute the sizes of  text written using some font you can use
Functions-Graphics  Sound-Picture Functions-Get Text Rect.vi. In
this function you can specify the font name, its size, and some
options (italic, bold, etc.).

Good luck.

How can I automatically word wrap a string placed in a (multicolumn) listbox ?

[Rainer Balzerowski]

Hello,

Using LabView 7.0:
I need to automatically wrap text inserted in a multicolumn listbox.
The size of the listbox is fixed and I don't know the legth of the
string that will be inserted. But the whole string must be visible,
because it's Information is important
I'm not allowed to use a fixed width font. :-(
Has anyone any ideas (or a solution already?)
How can I compute the length of a string in pixel to calculate to
position to wrap?

Thanks in advance,

best regards,

Rainer
