Text Wrapping in Box

I was trying to implement the inline text edit option in Box.  But there is a problem with the text displayed in the box.

When the text is made up of small words with separators and each word small enough to fit the width of the box, all the words are displayed.

When one of the words has width greater than the box width, that word is not displayed and neither are the words following this word.


For example:

In the string -

Here is the etymological proof



If the word etymological spills out of the width of the text, the word etymological and proof are not displayed.


I think the right behavior would be to wrap the word ‘etymological’ and also display ‘proof’.


Do you think this change would be possible from your side?

Yes, we want to improve that too, but I don't know when our developers will get to it.

This is a urgent requirement for us right now. Is there any timeframe how early this can be implemented? Or if you can provide any clues, it would really be helpful.

Thanks

We will need a couple of more weeks for the wrap-at-character feature. For now only the no-wrap feature that was requested by several of our users is ready. It makes the text layout algorithm wrap text only at the new-line symbols in your strings. If that will help you, I can send you our latest builds of the control

Hi Stoyon,

It would be nice if you could send the fix that is available with you right now, although my target would be to get the actual character wrapping feature for my application. Can i expect the whole feature by next week then?

Thanks

Hi,

The client side implementation for both features is ready, though we haven't tested it much yet:
http://mindfusion.org/_temp/JDiagram.jar

The applet's TextAlign class and get/setTextAlign methods have been renamed to TextFormat and get/setTextFormat. There are two new properties in TextFormat that you can set - NoWrap and WrapAtCharacter. We have also added a createTextFormat(halign, valign, noWrap, wrapAtChar) method in ScriptHelper, so you can create TextFormat objects on the client side.

Setting these from the server is not implemented yet, nor the equivalent text wrapping features in ImageMap mode. These should be ready in a couple of days.

Thanks for the new jar.  I had made changes to the source code of JDiagram for my application and hence the new source would help me integrate the changes and test better.  Can the JDiagram code be shared now if it is ready?
