I would love to have an option where the text in a text field does not wrap. If such a field had content outside the bounds of the field, then horizontal scroll bars would allow viewing of that content.
This is useful for viewing responses from web servers, or data logs, or, well, all sorts of data!
I would like also when a field is formatted to a specific size and type size and an inspector option to not wrap text that you can choose to show overset text with an automatic ellipsis "..."
Additionally corresponding text functions TextWrapSet ( text ; columns ) and or something like TextWrap ( text ) boolean true false so that you could assign a button or hide object or conditional formatting when text is or is not wrapping, or there is more text then visible field boundary or merged variable / field is showing.
I also liked other implementations where there are options. And I vote for scripting control always as well ).
There could be a small icon which will trigger the script open in whatever way the developer defines it. Icon can be invisible or visible.
I'd like to be able to have a nowrap tag, because in some cases I have text in a merge letter that causes a website address to wrap (e.g. the .com begins the next line) within a paragraph.
If I'm using a field to generate my paragraph text, I would like if I could use the nowrap feature as such:
"Welcome to the " & Table::Miscfield & "for the " & Table::MiscField2 & which can be found online at " & nowrap("www.filemaker.com") & " or at " & nowrap(Table::URLfield)
I guess this is different from OP who wants to have a nowrap setting in the Inspector's Appearance panel.
Would be so nice. I just created a calculated field with a bunch of contact info, and would love to apply NoWrap around the phone and e-mail, just like I apply bold to their name.
Absolutely needed to me and my environment. Wonder why it was not there all the time.
