Value text in control pages doesn't wrap.

Hi Matt,

I'm putting together a control page to display weather station info on my iPhone. Unfortunately, it appears that Display Variable Value does not wrap text. So if my variable value contains a long string, there does not appear to be a way to increase the vertical size of the <<value>> field and have the text wrap.

I'm trying to use the Control Page editor to set up my iPhone pages which necessitates the use of large fonts, so wrapping string support would really add a lot of flexibility.

Is there a way?

Hi Bob,

Inside the IndigoWebServer, you can try editing the CSS file for this element:

Code: Select all

.pageElement .controlValue {
   overflow: hidden;
   white-space: nowrap;
}

so that it allows wrapping. It may not be quite that easy, of course. But that is where I would start. The HTML template file of interest would be _pageelem.html in case you need to edit that.

Regards,
Matt

Thanks Matt. I'll give this a try.
