xBrowse - Multiline

[frose]

Hi!

is there a builtin function/shortcut to switch from a single line to a multiline xBrowse?

Background: When I was working with my datas, I unintentional switched to a multiline Browse, very nice! But I don't remember the shortcut, thats make me crazy

Hi, here a Mr. Rao sample:

Code: Select all | Expand

Function MultiLineCells()

   local oDlg, oBrw, aFont[ 3 ]
   local aData    := Array( 4, 12 )
   local n,i,j

   n  := 1
   for i := 1 to 4
      for j := 1 to 10 step 3
        // aData[ i, j ] := NToCDOW( ( n - 1 ) % 7 + 1 )
         aData[ i, j ] := SpaNumDay( ( n - 1 ) % 7 + 1 )
         aData[ i, j + 1 ] := n
         aData[ i, j + 2 ] := "Algún texto que puede tomar mas de una linea."
         n++
      next
   next

   DEFINE FONT aFont[ 1 ] NAME "TAHOMA"  SIZE 0,-16 BOLD
   DEFINE FONT aFont[ 2 ] NAME "IMPACT"  SIZE 0,-34
   DEFINE FONT aFont[ 3 ] NAME "TIMES ROMAN" SIZE 0,-12 ITALIC

   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg SIZE 700,500 PIXEL
   @ 10,10 XBROWSE oBrw SIZE -10,-10 PIXEL OF oDlg DATASOURCE aData AUTOCOLS ;
      LINES NOBORDER

   WITH OBJECT oBrw
      :nWidths    := 150
      :nRowHeight := 100
      for i := 1 to 10 STEP 3
         WITH OBJECT :aCols[ i ]
            :oDataFont     := aFont[ 1 ]
            :nDataStrAlign := AL_CENTER
         END
         WITH OBJECT :aCols[ i + 1 ]
            :oDataFont     := aFont[ 2 ]
            :nDataStrAlign := AL_CENTER
            :bClrStd       := { || { CLR_HRED, CLR_WHITE } }
         END
         WITH OBJECT :aCols[ i + 2 ]
            :oDataFont     := aFont[ 3 ]
            :nDataLines    := 2               //HERE THE TRICK
         END
         :aCols[ i ]:SetColsAsRows( i, i + 1, i + 2 )
      next
      //
      :CreateFromCode()
   END

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED
   AEval( aFont, { |o| o:End() } )
return nil

Also
1) For any browse, if you increase oBrw:nRowHeight, any text that does not fit in the present width flow as multi-line text.

2) Even at runtime, if text exceeds the width of any column, the user can increase the row height by dragging the line separator (like Excel) and automatically, the text is displayed as multi-line text.

Hi !

Is it possible that each row dynamically have its own height based on its content ?

Any chance in the near future ?

Any chance in the near future ?

Yes, but this may not be very soon unless there is demand from many users.

Leandro, creo que se está hablando de que las líneas puedan tener distintas alturas, no siempre la misma.
I think it's talking about the lines having different heights, not always the same.

as i can say you need Ownerdraw to get different hight as "calculation" is done by MeasureItem.
the Trick is like FranciscoA say : switch Font when "calculate"

let say you default Font are "Arial" with 10 Points. now you have 3 Lines -> 30 Point
so when WM_MEASUREITEM is fired set big Font before calculate with GetTextExtentPoint32

at WM_DRAWITEM now DRAWITEMSTRUCT->rcItem have place for 3 x Lines "10.Arial"

p.s. perhaps it is better to use NM_CUSTOMDRAW than WM_MEASUREITEM / WM_DRAWITEM

We will provide this soon.
