Well that chopping up doesn't have to take place between fields: it could, say, start with the string in a string-variable, and the chopped-up bits end up in a 2-dimensional array. Richmond.

Re: Splitting long elements into two lines in an Option Menu
Or use a normal field as Craig suggested and create soft-wrapped lines by inserting ASCII 11 at line breaks. These select as normal lines but visually appear as separate lines. From the 5.5 release notes: The engine will now interpret a numToChar(11) character in a field paragraph as an explicit line- break when the (effective) dontWrap of the paragraph is false. This allows multiple ‘lines’ to be displayed within a single paragraph. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On April 26, 2018 11:43:16 PM Terry Judd via use-livecode wrote: Or perhaps use a form type datagrid - which will allow you to present and select multi-lined option more readily.

Splitting long elements into two lines in an Option Menu
Dear Livecode programmers, I need you good expertise again. I'm development an small app for a French insurance company. I have an option menu button. Some elements in this option menu are very large. Example: /Dialyse rénale, insuffisance rénale, maladie rénaleDID, diabète de type 1//,//diabète insulino dépendant/ These elements doesn't fit on a small phone screen. So the question is: How can I divide this item into two different lines? I need that when customer clicking on this object in the "option menu", both lines are selected. In fact: The two lines have to be the same. I tried putting returns, "/", etc. but nothing seems to work. Than you very much in advance.
