When we started using a Dojo List Text Box in one of our applications, I came across the problem, that this Dojo control seems to have a built in delimiter, automatically splitting every String that contains a comma into extra array items.
A code to verify this behaviour:
<xe:djextListTextBox id="djextListTextBox1"></xe:djextListTextBox><xe:valuePicker id="valuePicker1" for="djextListTextBox1">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:simpleValuePicker>
<xe:this.valueList><![CDATA[11111
222,22
33333]]></xe:this.valueList>
</xe:simpleValuePicker>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:valuePicker>
I managed to resolve the situation by manually defining another delimiter
multipleSeparator="|"
which seems to overwrite the default delimiter, but I still would be very interested in verification of this finding and experts' tips on how to handle this control properly for future reference.
Yes, it uses "," as the default delimiter.
It is defined in the dojo widget source code of _ListTextBox.js (in com.ibm.xsp.extlib.controls package, \resources\web\extlib\dijit folder. This is the base widget for several components (e.g. ListTextBox, NameTextBox, etc.) and the multiple item seperator (msep) defaults to ",".
Basically, these components keep value in a hidden inputbox and submit that value. Internally, they convert the submitted value into a vector and store into the data binding. So as long as you don't have the declared delimiter in your value list, you may use any delimiter.
One problem I had is \n, because I experienced some problems in the past. Using ";" or "," is no problem with ListTextBox. However, NameTextBox doesn't work with any delimiter other than ",". No big deal, because it's only name elements. If you use ",", this component keeps values correctly but does not render well.

Really just a curious question.
Here are a few examples of the same concern that I have since they are being exported to the FM "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" for parameter "it_fieldcat".
ls_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'Material number'(052).
ls_fieldcat-seltext_m = 'Material'(053).
ls_fieldcat-seltext_s = 'Mat.'(054).
I tried removing the numbers on the right and executed the program but I didn't see any differences and I also tried to see what happens inside debug mode but it only fills the field with the string value, am I missing something or is there something that I wasn't able to notice?
I've been tasked to create a copy of a program which originally joins multiple tables and filters them according to the Parameters from the SELECTION-SCREEN and then shows the results in an ALV Grid Report, but for the use case of the copy it should instead populate a table in ECC that we will then be replicating to BW side. I have successfully copied and modified it accordingly but I can't seem to understand what the numbers beside the strings are doing.
Can someone please explain what their use is, would be very grateful to see a few examples.
Thanks!
The number in the brackets is a text symbol defined as a part of the text elements of the program. Using the syntax 'Literal'(idf) replaces these literals in the program if the symbol is in the currently loaded text pool.
I was wondering if folks have found a reliable way to inject text into an existing string. Some context, I'm writing data to a string indicator formatted like a table, and I wanted to inject values into so they maintain a specific format, spacing-wise. Writing to a table would definitely be easier, however I am porting a legacy program and wanted to provide familiarity to the end user.
Essentially, I want to do the equivalent of typing into a .txt file with the INSERT function enabled, where it just overwrites the content already in the string. Example below (dashes added to show spacing) of how it is currently looking when I inject the values with hard coded spacing:
Time---value---avg. value---result
60------10---------20---------PASS
120------11---------20---------PASS
180------9---------15---------FAIL
I'd prefer it to look more lined up, like below:
Time---value---avg. value---result
60------10---------20---------PASS
120-----11---------20---------PASS
180-----9--------- 15---------FAIL
Writing my application using LabVIEW 2019
Edit: Header will obviously not change, only each subsequent line where the values can result in entries not looking lined up
What about "Replace Substring" function (https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/glang/replace_substring/)? Doesn't it meet your requirements?
The diagram below outputs 01234999990123PASS890123456789. The values of the integer and the word PASS are added replacing characters in the existing string, exactly like overstrike would do.
I am a relatively new user of Tabulator so please forgive me if I am asking anything that, perhaps, should be obvious.
I have a Tabulator report that I am able to print and create as a PDF, but the report's formatting (as shown on the screen) is not used in either output.
For printing I have used printAsHtml and printStyled=true, but this doesn't produce a printout that matches what is on the screen. I have formatted number fields (with comma separators) and these are showing correctly, but the number columns should be right-aligned but all of the columns appear as left-aligned.
I am also using Tree View where the tree rows are coloured differently to the main table, but when I print the report with a tree open it colours the whole table with the tree colours and not just the tree.
For the PDF none of the Tabulator formatting is being used. I've looked for anything similar to the printStyled option, but I can't see anything. I've also looked at the autoTable option, but I am struggling to find what to use.
I want to format the print and PDF outputs so that they look as close to the screen representation as possible.
Is there anywhere I could look that would provide examples of how to achieve the above? The Tabulator documentation is very good, but the provided examples don't appear to explain what I am trying to do.
Perhaps there are there CSS classes that I am missing or even mis-using? I have tried including .tabulator-print-table in my CSS, but I am probably not using it correctly. I also couldn't find anything equivalent for producing PDFs. Some examples would help immensely.
Thank you in advance for any advice or assistance.
Formatting is deliberately not included in these, below i will outline why:
Downloaders
Downloaded files do not contain formatted data, only the raw data, this is because a lot of the formatters create visual elements (progress bar, star formatter etc) that cannot be replicated sensibly in downloaded files.
If you want to change the format of data in the download you will need to use an accessor, the accessorDownload option is the one you want to use in this case. The accessors transform the data as it is leaving the table.
For instance we could create an accessor that prepended "Mr " to the front of every name in a column:
var mrAccessor= function(value, data, type, params, column, row){
return "Mr " + value;
}
Assign it to a columns definition:
{title:"Name", field:"name", accessorDownload:mrAccessor}
Printing
Printing also does not include the formatters, this is because when you print a Tabulator table, the whole table is actually rebuilt as a standard HTML table, which allows the printer to work out how to layout everything across multiple pages with column headers etc. The downside of this is that it is only loosely styled like a Tabulator and so formatted contents generated inside Tabulator cells will likely break when added to a normal td element.
For this reason there is also a accessorPrint option that works in the same way as the download accessor but for printing.
If you want to use the same accessor for both occasions, you can assign the function once to the accessor option and it will be applied in both instances.
Checkout the Accessor Documentation for full details.
I can't seem to find the "correct" way to use multiple variables in a React Native Text element.
I have the users first, and the last name as separate object values and I want to show them in the same Text element.
<Text>{props.user.firstName} {props.user.lastName}</Text>
This works fine, but ESLint doesn't like it. (jsx-one-expression-per-line).
If I put them on separate lines, then I can't figure out where to put the empty space in between first and last name.
<Text>
{props.user.firstName}
{props.user.lastName}
</Text>
There's an empty space after {props.user.firstName}, but ESLint doesn't like that either (no-trailing-spaces).
So I'm asking whether there is a correct way to achieve the result that I want without changing ESLint configuration or creating a separate variable.
You're looking for template literals.
You can nest your variables like so:
<Text>`${props.user.firstName} ${props.user.lastName}`</Text>
I have a localization string with a placeholder:
Verb {0}
I use this string in my view-model to return a string to my view that, in turn, is displayed in a TextBlock. Easy enough. But a new requirement has arisen saying that the "Verb" portion (everything other than the placeholder's inserted value) be displayed in bold.
Using a string with placeholders seems like the typical and easiest way to indicate word order. So the first question, then, is: where should I parse the localization string in order to add the bold formatting? The parse operation will need knowledge of the original placeholder's location. So far, the view-model has been responsible for utilizing the localization strings by using string.Format to insert values and return its result to the view. If I leave this responsibility in the view-model, as is probably necessary, then the view-model also needs to return rich text.
Is binding to rich text even supported by RichTextBlock? Even if it is supported, I've never before had a view-model return formatted text before. It initially feels sacrilegious to a follower of MVVM-ism, but perhaps upon further consideration I may find it acceptable.
What's the best way to add bold formatting to a localized string that has placeholders? Is returning rich text from the view-model the best way?
