Long URL in a field
In the HC version of a stack I've converted, I have a notes text field. The field has a vertical scroll bar, but not a horizontal one (and that's what I want). In HC, a long URL will wrap so you can see the whole thing on multiple lines. In Rev, it doesn't wrap so you can't see it all (although you can still select it by dragging to the right). Can this behavior be changed to be like in HC (i.e. force a line with no spaces to wrap)? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

No, wrapping on Rev only works with white space.

There are obvious improvements that could be made, but for a quick fix, it works OK. -- Cheers, Sarah Rodeo discussion: http://rodeoapps.com/rodeo-discuss-among-yourselves ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Long URL in a field
Just to throw out another idea... For my RSS app I wrote a routine that would truncate a link with ... when it would extend beyond the length of a field and set the linkText of the chunk to the full URL so it'd still work. Jeff M.

Can this behavior be changed to be like in HC (i.e. force a line with no spaces to wrap)? As Sarah said, Rev won't wrap these lines. If your field has no tab stops in it, you can use a cheat. Set the tabstops of the field to 1. Then use this in your handler: replace slash with slashtab in fld 1 Visually it looks almost right, you have to really squint to see those 1-character tabs. This way the engine will wrap the line automatically. If you only want to wrap a single line in the field, just use something like: replace slash with slashtab in line x of fld 1 If you need to use the URL for something, be sure to replace tab with empty in the field contents before using it for anything: get line x of fld 1 replace tab with empty in it launch url it -- or whatever If you need real, hard-coded carriage returns or you can't set the tabstops to 1, this handler works on longer URLs that need to wrap over more than 2 lines. (Sarah's works fine on 2-line wraps.) on wrapField pFld -- pass name or number set the itemdel to slash put the width of fld pFld - (the leftmargin of fld pFld) - (the \ rightmargin of fld pFld) into tWidth put 1 into x repeat until the formattedwidth of fld pFld = tWidth if the formattedwidth of item 1 to x of fld pFld tWidth then put item 1 to x-1 of fld pFld slash cr after tText delete item 1 to x-1 of fld pFld put 1 into x else add 1 to x end if end repeat put tText fld pFld into fld pFld end wrapField -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Well, I gave you an old handler for that -- and I just found a note to myself that it was deprecated. Here's a better way to add hard carriage returns, it's all built-in: on wrapField pFld replace slash with slashspace in fld pFld put the formattedText of fld pFld into fld pFld replace space with empty in fld pFld end wrapField I should have double-checked before writing. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
