Multi-Line Labels

Classic Servoy

Is it not possible to show more than one line of a label?

I can stretch the label to any size, and I can edit the text in the label to cosist of multiple lines like this:

Hello
World

But, it only shows the “Hello” in the above example.

I guess I’m looking for a “showMultiLine” option or something like that, so that I can use a label to perhaps make an explanatory note on a form without having to break up the lines into individual labels.

In the text editor set the checkbox “Use html” and it should work.

There is no HTML check box any more in the text editor Patrick (401). Is there another way to set this property?

Hi Charles and Kahuna,

That property was pretty much there only for use in the editor so you wouldn’t see the raw HTML.
In 4.0.x you don’t have that HTML view in the editor anymore but you can still use HTML. Just type the raw HTML in there and it works.
You can use the following HTML:

<html><body>some text
some new line with text</body></html>

Hope this helps.

I am very grateful. It works like a charm.
