How to make text appear fully in IconTabBar? - sapui5

Question

I am using IconTabBar in my application and the text (heading for the tab) is not displaying fully. Half of the text gets cut.
<IconTabBar class="sapUiResponsiveContentPadding">
<items>
<IconTabFilter
icon="sap-icon://approvals"
text="Set Values for Mass Change" design="Horizontal"
>
<mvc:XMLView viewName="abc.view.selectionPage"/>
</IconTabFilter>
<IconTabSeparator icon="sap-icon://open-command-field"/>
</items>
</IconTabBar>
So here the text, which should be "Set Values for Mass Change", is output as "Set Values for Mass..."

Answer 1

The text is cut in half due to two properties set in the classes :
sapMITBHorizontalWrapper ( for the Wrapper Div) and
sapMITBHorizontal.sapMITBFilter>.sapMITBHorizontalWrapper>.sapMITBText ( Max-width for the displayed Text )
Here, max-width is set to 7.5rem and text-overflow is set to : ellipsis.
Somehow, its not possible to add a class to IconTabFilter (bad) but you can add class to IconTabBar. So, to solve this I've increased the max-width to 10rem. You can increase and decrease max-width to suit your requirements.
Below is the css code:
.myWidth .sapMITBHorizontalWrapper {
max-width: 10rem;
}
.myWidth .sapMITBHorizontal.sapMITBFilter>.sapMITBHorizontalWrapper>.sapMITBText {
max-width: 10rem;
}
View:
<IconTabBar class="sapUiResponsiveContentPadding myWidth">
<items>
<IconTabFilter id='myId' icon="sap-icon://approvals" class='' text="Set Values for Mass Change" design="Horizontal">
<!-- <mvc:XMLView viewName="abc.view.selectionPage"/> -->
</IconTabFilter>
<IconTabSeparator icon="sap-icon://open-command-field"/>
<IconTabFilter icon="sap-icon://approvals" class='' text="Short Text" design="Horizontal">
<!-- <mvc:XMLView viewName="abc.view.selectionPage"/> -->
</IconTabFilter>
<IconTabFilter icon="sap-icon://approvals" class='' text="Shorter" design="Horizontal">
<!-- <mvc:XMLView viewName="abc.view.selectionPage"/> -->
</IconTabFilter>
<IconTabFilter icon="sap-icon://approvals" class='' text="This is a Big text." design="Horizontal">
<!-- <mvc:XMLView viewName="abc.view.selectionPage"/> -->
</IconTabFilter>
<IconTabFilter icon="sap-icon://approvals" class='' text="Lil" design="Horizontal">
<!-- <mvc:XMLView viewName="abc.view.selectionPage"/> -->
</IconTabFilter>
</items>
</IconTabBar>

If the text becomes too long, consider to display texts only aligning with Fiori Design Guidelines:
If your labels get truncated, consider using shorter labels or text tabs (without icons), as text tabs cannot get truncated. [source]
Internally, the IconTabHeader (the header control for IconTabBar) then applies the style class sapMITBTextOnlysrc which excludes max-width.src
<IconTabBar>
<items>
<IconTabFilter text="products" count="20"/>
<IconTabFilter text="jkjlsdfjalkfak awfgvbf uwewrw fwkjfv dqw qlkwejqwklejdifsuvnvxdlcmeq" count="4"/>
<!-- ... -->
</items>
</IconTabBar>
Since the length is basically limitless, it's still recommended to ensure that the texts do not become too long.

try below
.sapMITBFilter .sapMITBText {
width: 10rem;
}
.sapMITBTab {
width: 10rem;
}
