using multiline label control in a list - i_cohen - 2007-11-04

hey,

i want to include a label control inside a "list control" which will get the ListItem.Label as <info>. the problem is i want it to wrap to a multiline but it doesnt (from what i understand you need to have \n). the info is filled by xbmc for media items. tried using textbox but nothing was shown.

what can i do?

Hey i_cohen,

I'll try to post it, but it reacts as a next line tag on the forums too Confused

For example:

PHP Code:
    <include name="10090">
        <label>This will print the first line

This line is printed on line 2</label>
    </include> 

Hope this helped.

Arrgh.. another attempt...

PHP Code:
    <include name="10090">
        <label>This will print the first line&#10;
This line is printed on line 2</label>
    </include> 

Sorry for the weird PHP color code, it's the only one that seems to work.

I see, let's say you have a label with an width of 300px

If you want it in one line, you could use the scroll tag, for example:

Code:
<control type="label">

  .....

    <width>300</width>

    <info>ListItem.Label</info>

    <scroll>true</scroll>

  .....

</control>

If you want the label in mutiple lines you can use wrapmultiline tag, for example:

Code:
<control type="label">

  .....

    <width>300</width>

    <info>ListItem.Label</info>

    <scroll>false</scroll>

    <wrapmultiline>true</wrapmultiline>

  .....

</control>
