I have two <textField> one by one. Is possible to automatically stretch or shrink them depending on text length? The only attribute which hit my eyes, was the isStretchWithOverflow but cause that one text is covering another - that is not what I meant. Anybody helps? Is it even possible?
I assume you are talking about stretch vertically.
In that case isStretchWithOverflow is exactly what you need.
The second <textfield> covered by first one is because the position setting. You probably has it setting to Fix, so it dose not move while first one stretched. Change the position setting of second <textfield> to Float should works.
I don't believe this is possible using pure HTML/CSS. However, you could do it by using Javascript. One way would be to bind a keypress event handler to your input which updates its width.
If you use JQuery, something like:
$(yourInput).keypress(function(){
$(this).css("width", $(this).val().length * 5);
});
should do the trick (although you'll probably want to adjust the calculation; I have no idea if 5px per character is too much or too little).

I am trying to setup a style based on bootstrap3.
Basically I want to try and reduce the size of the input elements which I have done, getting a decent proportion of 'box' vs 'text'.
However if I use the same font-size in a select box with the same size then I get a situation where the text is masked along the bottom edge...
I think there is a tiny bit more margin at the top of the select box, but for the life of me I cant find where that is set in BootStrap to change it (if at all).
I think all I need to do is move the text in the 'select' element up by a couple of pixels and it will align with those bits of text in standard text boxes....
Can anyone point me in the right direct please?
Found the associated CSS in the bootstrap, with a bit of trial and error....
Mainly in the 'form-control' section.
but now also using Bootstrap 4, with a couple of additional styles.
In Marks, click Size and there pops a slider where I can adjust the size of a shape. But how to accurately control the size, is there some property with numbers to accurately control it? I have two sheets to show something similar and I want to display exactly the same sized shapes.
If you want to ensure 'sizes' are the same across two worksheets, I'd suggest snapping the 'size' setting to the center on both, as this is the easiest option to select. You can then use a measure to set the size, if this is desirable, and then the difference in size will be relative on both worksheets.
There isn't a numerical value override for the size slider.
Ben is correct, there isn't yet a numerical value override for the slider. You can use parameters with Min/Max/Sum etc. and a variable to somewhat change the sizes but they have to have multiple entries per line. It is unfortunate that Tableau still doesn't get that people want both a 'relative' sizing system that uses numbers from the dataset and a 'static' sizing system that allows for shapes to be set to '11px' or something along those lines. Yes, you can control that kind of in the dashboard with a vertical and fill entire box etc; but that doesn't address the very real scenario where you want a user to be able to re-size on the fly. Just my two cents.
I ran into this today. Very annoying. Need to keep shapes the same size across all worksheets and therefore same on dashboard.
I'm wondering if there is a way to make text wrap around when it reaches the end of a frame? When using the drawString method, if a line of text exceeds the length of the frame, it seems to just continue on and not wrap around. Does anyone know a way around this?
JTextArea would probably suit. It displays text and you can set setLineWrap(true).
Wrapping text within a frame is a more complicated behavior than can/should be developed as a single method. For example, when you exceed the pre-assigned vertical area, what should happen? And what size of frame is required for layout?
For all these reasons, "display text wrapping in a frame" should be (and is) a component. That component is JTextArea.
I have several items that I want to line up. The Width and Height of all fields match. Usually I just use the Align, but it's making it worse. My out of line field which is slighly lower, moves way up, way out of line (with align tops)
So I tried using the Size and Position to set it manually. Several objects have a Y of 0.056, but my last one has 0.061. I change the last one to 0.056 and save it. It doesn't appear to be different, and when I look at it again, it's still 0.061. (When I used align, it went up to 0.028!)
I do NOT have Snap to Grid set (my grid size is 0.083). (Nor does turning on Snap to Grid make them align.) The fields have exactly the same formatting. But unless I can magically make them align by hand, they refuse to align. Why?
You've already done a lot of the regular troubleshooting steps. One more ting that I sometimes do is to select all the fields I want to align, then use the arrow keys and move them up into the section above and then back down into their original section. That usually puts them all into the 0 position. If it dosn't work with all of them selected, try each one separately.
Look at this UILabel. It's center-aligned:
Now look at this UILabel. Although it is technically center-aligned, it really doesn't look that way:
The reason why it looks like this is because the center-alignment considers the degree symbol a third character, thus bumping the other two off to the left a bit. My question is: is there any way to ignore certain characters whilst center-aligning a label?
Interesting question. The only solution that comes to mind for me is to pad the text string with spaces on the front to cancel out the ignored characters on the back.
That is, to center #"60d" as if it were #"60", set the text to #" 60d". This works well with a fixed width font, but otherwise is only a rough approximation.
If you like this idea and want to get fancy with it, then you can use NSStrings method
– stringByPaddingToLength:withString:startingAtIndex:
perhaps in conjunction with – rangeOfCharacterFromSet: or some such method to determine how many spaces to pad with.
You could of course measure the text string(s) and compute your own positioning, rather than using text alignment in a larger field.
Assuming you don't want to do that, another idea that comes to mind is to display the string “°60°” with the first character styled with a color of opacity 0 and no shadow.
I don't do iOS development so I don't know how practical these are.
