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)?
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 slash&tab 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 slash&tab 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
