Title: Shape data window column size and text wrapping
Post by: Henke on March 14, 2014, 10:17:45 AM
Hello!

I'm having some problems with the shape data window.

In short I want each shape to have a couple of predefined questions (Each entered as a row in Form data definitions).
Each shape has different answers to those questions. So users have to eneter the data into the Shape data window
The problem is that both the Question and the Answer can be longer than the Shape data windows column size can display.

Is there a way to get the text to wrap in the cell and make it multiple lines?

Of course I can just drag the Shape data window to a separate display or place it at the bottom of the screen making it wider, but I rather use text wrapping.

Afaik you can't tweak the ShapeData window for this.
You can perhaps create your own windows-form for this, e.g. create your own "ShapeData window".

You can put longer texts in the prompt field.
