PushButton Text Wrap
Hello,
Sorry if I have asked this in the past. I can't seem to find any old posts
about it and my memory is not so good.
Is it possible to get the text in a PushButton to wrap rather than clip when
then text is longer than the button width?
Thanks,
Scott.

No problem. Sometimes it takes me 10 mins to find threads that I know are
there.

Thanks Chris,
I did what I thought was a thorough search of the archives. Wasn't thorough
enough.

Hi Scott,
Could you publish what your code looks like that is now working?
We're having a similar issue with Checkbox and I thought I followed all
the instructions here but it is not working still... Thanks.

Try setting the horizontalAlignment style on the renderer's label.

That worked :-)
Now I just have to figure out how to get the text to align horizontally to the
centre.

Oh, right. It is a horizontal box pane. If you make it vertical and set fill to true, it will wrap.

Re: PushButton Text Wrap

Setting "fill" to true just pushes the text to the top of the button but
doesn't wrap it.

I have been doing some experimentation.
If I put a label in cell of a grid pane it wraps. If I put a box pane in the
cell and put the label in that, it no longer wraps.

Seems like it might be related to the other button renderer discussion that has been going on. Try setting the "fill" style to true on the button data renderer itself in addition to setting "wrapText" to true on the label.

The button is contained in a Grid Pane. The only style I set on the button is
the font. A screen shot is attached. The buttons are on the right hand side.

Is the button in a container that will apply a width constraint to it? Alternatively, have you given the button a preferred width to wrap to?

Yes, this did change in 2.0. Include variables are now effectively "private" to the include. This helps promote encapsulation and reinforces the notion of includes as independent modules.
To get the previous behavior, you can add a getter method to your include's root element class that returns the referenced value.

Hi Greg,
That didn't appear to work. I created this class:
public class ButtonDataRenderer_wrappedText extends ButtonDataRenderer {
public ButtonDataRenderer_wrappedText(){
label.getStyles().put("wrapText", true);
}
}
And set the DataRenderer:
PushButton#setDataRenderer( new ButtonDataRenderer_wrappedText())
On another topic, I can't seem to bind to objects that have been nested using
bxml:include. I used to use WTKXSerializer#get() and use a "." in between
names to deliniate the name spaces. I tried using
BXMLSerializer.getNamespace().get using the same name structure and it didn't
work. Has this all changed for 2.0?
Cheers,
Scott.

Yes. I thought that ButtonDataRenderer wrapped text by default, but apparently it doesn't. Easiest thing would be to create a custom subclass of ButtonDataRenderer and call label.getStyles().put("wrapText", true) in the constructor. Then set this as the renderer for your button.
