Force line-break for long column headings?

Post by Bryan641 »

Is there a way to force where a line break occurs on grid column headings? In this specific case, I want the heading to be "Monday Oct-3" (for example) and would like to be able to have the day of the week on the first line and the Month and day on the second.

In the designer, when typing in a heading, use the Shift-Enter key to move to the second line.

I'm creating the headings in my RPG code, because they are date-based. Does that mean I can embed x'25' and have it work? Or something similar?

You can embed an HTML line break element. For example:
RPG CODE
C                   Eval      MyField = 'Line One<br />Line Two'

Thanks. I thought I had tried that before and it didn't work for me, but I guess I was mistaken. Could've been that I stumbled upon another anomaly. I've just tested again, and if I open 2 ProfoundUI applications in Atrium, one right after the other, the first one doesn't render the screen correctly, so when I click on that tab to see the application, the calendar icon on my date fields is behind the field, and the column headings that use <br/> only show the first line. When I refresh the screen all is fine again.

If I don't switch to another tab while the app is loading, it looks correct.
