TextView Properties

The ID is a unique identification.

Assignment of the context menu Note that the context menu can be overwritten in the hook method WDDOONCONTEXTMENU in all cases.

ID for the context menu you have defined. You assign this ID to a UI element if the element itself and all the subelements below it are to get this context menu. For example, if you have defined a contextMenuId for a table, the context menu applies to the whole table and to all subelements.

With this property you can create your own style definitions to change the appearance of UI elements (for example, the font color of buttons). With interface IF_WD_CUSTOM_STYLE_MANAGER (method CREATE_CUSTOM_STYLE) you can create your own style classes. You define the various style definitions for a style class within objects of interface type IF_WD_CUSTOM_STYLE in the form of a name/value list. You can then assign these style definitions to specific UI elements. The value of parameter STYLE_CLASS_NAME of method CREATE_CUSTOM_STYLE must be the same as the value of property styleClassName of the UI element. This property can be personalized by administrators.

Quick info text that appears when the user moves the mouse pointer over the UI element. If Screen Reader is supported, extra text is added automatically to the tooltip in order to support accessibility. Be aware of the following if a hot key is set for one of the following UI elements: AbstractButton and those UI elements that inherit from this: IconButton, LinkToAction, LinkToUrl, MenuActionItem, ToolBarLinkToAction, ToolBarLinkToUrl: The relevant key combination for the corresponding hotkey is always automatically inserted into the tooltip of the appropriate UI element. If a text already exists for the tooltip, the text for the hotkey is appended to the end. This property can be personalized by administrators. See also 1974590.

Horizontal alignment of the content within the Textview UI element. For the positioning of the text we recommend that you set the hAlign value for the LayoutData of the UI element and TableColumn.hAlign, and that you do not use TextView.hAlign. However, if you do use TextView.hAlign, you must set TextView.layout=block, and define a suitable width. This property can be personalized by administrators.

Layout of the text in the TextView. This property can be personalized by administrators.

If you set a value for this property, it only has an effect if a visible menu is assigned to the TextView (described below).

Semantic color With regard to accessibility make sure that the color description, "e.g. negative value", is automatically included in the tooltip. From the perspective of accessibility, colors must be used in accordance with their semantic meaning. This property can be personalized by administrators.

Width of the UI element; see also Methods and Properties of UI Elements. Width specification:

• wrapping=true

  If necessary the text is wrapped. The width cannot be guaranteed.

  The width of the text is precisely as specified. If necessary, the text output is cut short with "...".

Specifies whether the text can be wrapped to the next line, if the space specified for the surrounding layout is no longer sufficient. Otherwise, the TextView becomes as wide as the space the text within it requires, and the surrounding layout is widened accordingly. This property can be personalized by administrators.
