Display long text in label

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 284

Hi,

I have a long text that cannot be seen fully in the label. I don't want to use the scrollbar. Is there a way display the full text on a tooltip or pop up? Sometime I saw the text will append a link called "More" but I can't get it appear. I wonder how it works?

I am using Sharepoint list as the datasource. Thanks!

    I dont know how your app looks like but you can show the full text in the Label;

    Set the Autoheight to true and Wrap to true

    That should work

    Hi,

    If I set to auto height, my label height change and it will impact the display of other fields.

    Thanks!

    I dont know how long the text is but you can insert a hidden Button then put your Tooltip on Button:

    Also on the Tooltip of the Label you can do same:

    Example:

    "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
    bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb"
     
    The result for the Tooltip:

    The label get the data selected by another combo box. When I tried to put the data in the tooltip, it don't works.

    Like combox.selected.name

    You can Insert another Label2 and put combox.selected.name in the Text property,

    Then in your tootip, put: Label2.Text

    Thanks for your reply. I manage to do it with tooltips. Need use the tooltip from the dropdown list instead of the one on the properties.

    Anyone figure out if this works?  I have an issue where my label text is slightly long in view mode inside of a gallery, so I have a title and a description, but it truncates the text from the longer text and I cannot get all of the text to display even by doing the steps in this post to try to fix it.
