TextView Properties
Properties in the View Designer
● design
Appearance of the TextView UI element. The portal themes provided by SAP describe the variations of the design attribute display.
This property can be personalized by an administrator.
Value |
Visual Display |
Description |
emphasized |
|
Text is highlighted in default size |
groupTitle |
|
Header for forms
This enumeration value is deprecated. Instead, use SectionHeader. If accessibility mode is activated, with TextView.design=groupTitle the TextView is not integrated in the tab chain, and it must be repeated in the surrounding Container. This is because a ScrollContainer or TransparentContainer with scrollingMode=none (TransparentContainer) is used to group form elements. The title should then be read by a screen reader when the user navigates to the Container. For this reason the text of the accessibilityDescription of the ScrollContainer or TransparentContainer must be added. To prevent the text from being read twice, the TextView with design=groupTitle is not contained in the tab chain. |

● hAlign
Horizontal alignment of the content with the TextView UI element.
To position the text, SAP recommends setting the hAlign value in the LayoutData of the UI element and TableColumn.hAlign and not to use TextView.hAlign. If, however, you do use TextView.hAlign, you should define TextView.layout=block and set a suitable width.

● width
Width of the UI element; see also Methods and Properties of UI Elements.
The specification of width:
○ wrapping=true
If required it can be wrapped. The width cannot be guaranteed.
○ wrapping=false
The text has precisely the specified width. If necessary, the text display is shortened with "...".
● wrapping
Determines whether the text can be wrapped to the next line, if the space is not sufficient for the surrounding layout. Otherwise the TextView must be as wide as the contained text space and the surrounding layout is correspondingly widened.
