|
<br><h2>Setting Up Multi-line Items and Column Headers</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Better ListView holds a property called
|
|
<span class="code">MaximumTextLines</span> for each view. This property specifies
|
|
maximum number of lines that can be displayed in column header, item or
|
|
sub-item. You can access this property via the corresponding
|
|
layout:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><span class="code">LayoutColumns</span></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><span class="code">LayoutItemsCurrent</span></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><span class="code">LayoutItemsLargeIcon</span>, <span class="code">LayoutItemsList</span>,
|
|
etc.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>For example, if you set <span class="code">LayoutColumns.MaximumTextLines</span>
|
|
and <span class="code">LayoutItemsDetailsColumns.MaximumTextLines</span> to
|
|
<span class="code">3</span>, the items and sub-items in the
|
|
<strong><em>Details</em></strong> view with columns will have up to three
|
|
lines:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="images"><img src="layout-multiline1.png"><img src="layout-multiline2.png"></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can also specifiy maximum allowed number of text lines for a
|
|
(sub)item by setting one of the following properties:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><span class="code">BetterListViewItems.MaximumTextLines</span></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><span class="code">BetterListViewSubItem.MaximumTextLines</span></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2>Multi-line Groups</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Groups can contain multi-line text as well.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>However, group layouts do not have a <span class="code">MaximumTextLines</span>
|
|
property because there are no text wrapping options available. When group
|
|
gets too short, each line of the text gets trimmed separately (this works
|
|
the same way for items, when <span class="code">TextWrapping</span> property is set to
|
|
<span class="code">None</span> and item contains multi-line text. See <strong><em><a href="chapter-multi-line.html#adjusting-text-wrapping">Adjusting Text
|
|
Wrapping</a></em></strong>):</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="images"><img src="multi-line-groups.png"></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Text with Newline Characters</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Better ListView supports text with multiple lines by default. Better
|
|
ListView recognizes <strong><em>LF</em></strong> characters as newlines, while
|
|
ingoring the <strong><em>CR</em></strong> characters, so you can use either
|
|
<strong><em>LF</em></strong> or <strong><em>CRLF</em></strong> as a newline
|
|
mark.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>By default, only the first line of the text is displayed, so set the
|
|
<span class="code">MaximumTextLines</span> property to a number of lines you wish to
|
|
display.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>
|
|
<a name="adjusting-text-wrapping" id="adjusting-text-wrapping"></a>Adjusting Text
|
|
Wrapping</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Multi-line items gets higher when more space is needed for more
|
|
lines. Item height is controlled by the MaximumTextLines property, but you
|
|
may want to keep some sub-items on single line (e.g. sub-item displaying
|
|
date), or wrap the text, but only in the available space:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="images"><img src="text-formatting-wrap.png"></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To control text wrapping behavior, use the
|
|
<span class="code">BetterListViewSubItem.TextWrapping</span> (or
|
|
<span class="code">BetterListViewItem.TextWrapping</span>) property. See <strong><em><a href="chapter-text-formatting.html#text-wrapping">Text
|
|
Wrapping</a></em></strong> for more informaton.</p>
