[jira] Created: (PIVOT-709) Want a single-line text input component
that wraps
Want a single-line text input component that wraps
--------------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-709
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-709
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: wtk
Reporter: Bill van Melle
Priority: Minor
TextInput accepts a single line of text, but it also displays as only a single line on the screen, with no provision for wrapping text instead of clumsily horizontally scrolling. TextArea happily wraps text, but it also accepts the Enter key to insert newlines into the content.
I would like a control that wraps its text, but also only accepts a single line of input, i.e., it does not accept Enter to produce multiple lines, and in fact allows Enter to be handled by its container (e.g., a Sheet). Whether this means a wrapText attribute on a TextInput, or a multiLine or acceptsEnter attribute on a TextArea makes little difference to me. A quick glance at the TextAreaSkin suggests the latter would be straightforward.

------------------------------------
Just added an "acceptsEnter" skin property for TextArea. Bill, let me know how this works out for you.

OK, good point Bill. I think an "acceptEnter" skin property on TextArea would be pretty straightforward. Will look at it later.

Hi all,
this means that this ticket could be associated to 2.0.1, and closed as "Won't fix" ?

Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-709:
----------------------------------
FYI, "wrapText" and "multiline" are actually potentially distinct concepts. "wrapText" (which is currently supported) dictates whether text should wrap at component boundaries (true) or clip (false). "multiline" might mean "allow the user to create multiple paragraphs separated by line feeds" (true) or not (false). I think I prefer this to "accepts enter", because it may not be entirely clear to a user what "accepts" means in this context.

------------------------------------
You could solve this by installing your own key event handler on a TextArea, which makes "enter" mean "commit the text".

Bill van Melle commented on PIVOT-709:
--------------------------------------
My recollection is the key handler approach doesn't work, because the skin grabs "enter" before the user's key handler has a crack at it. Let me have a look at my earlier attempts and I'll let you know more.
