Dynamically change font size for long text

raffi

<p>Hi,</p><p> </p><p>I have a table with a fixed size for the columns.</p><p> </p><p>When the text is too long it normally is wrapped, but I want to avoid that and change the font size instead (keeping the text always on one line).</p><p> </p><p>In scripting, I know how to change the font size but didn't find a way to know when the text is exceeding the cell (wrapped) or not, and how to determine the size suitable to make the text fit in the cell.</p><p> </p><p>I hope you can help me out.</p><p> </p><p>Kind Regards, Raffi</p>

<p>One way of doing this would be shrink the text size if the string is longer than a certain number of characters.</p><p> </p><p>Here's some pseudo code to do that:</p><pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-js">function shrink(longStr, chrWidth){ if (longStr) { strLen = longStr.length; if (strLen >= chrWidth) { //reduce text size } } } </pre><div>Then by placing the following code into the Expression Builder the output will break at the desired number of characters.</div><div>shrink(inputString, widthDesired);</div><div> </div><div>*Example: shrink(dataSetRow["PRODUCTDESCRIPTION"], 20)  // Will shrink if longer than 20 characters</div>
