I am using MultiLineLabel component to display fixed length data in to front end,
But it has issue while displaying the data
when data line contains multiple spaces in between e.g.
1234232 44343 4343343
11111111111144343 4343343
Here the first line getting truncated
1234232 44343 4343343
11111111111144343 4343343
as i saw this component its using <p></p>
to display data and <P> has property it will truncate the spaces on display.
Can somebody assist me how can display my fixed length data on front end ?
There is nothing to do with the <p>. This is a common property of HTML - multiple spaces are collapsed into one.
You can pre-process the String you pass to MultiLineLabel with: Strings.replace(original, " ", " ");

I am currently working on a data sat which has two header rows (The first one acting as overall category description and the second one containing subcategories. And it happens to be that both contain various <text> intervals. For example:
In the first row (column names of the data frame), i have a cell that contains:
- text... <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">in the office</span> on the activities below. Total must add up to 100%. <br /><br />
The second row contains multiple cells with:
- text <strong>
- text </strong>
Now, I was able to work out of how to remove all <text> intervals in the second row through:
data[1,] = gsub("<.*>", "", data[1,])
However, for the column names row, if I use:
colnames(data) = gsub("<.*>", "",colnames(data))
I end up just with "text", which I don't want. Due to the fact, that I still want to have:
text... in the office on the activities below. Total must add up to 100%
If some one would have an idea of how to solve it. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
You can get what you need by changing the regular expression you are using with the following:
colnames(data) <- gsub("<[^>]+>", "",colnames(data))
This will remove anything between opening and closing tags (including the tag). That should give you what you want.
Your current regex is greedy and is consuming everything in between the first opening bracket and last closing bracket. One quick fix would be to make your regex non greedy by using ?:
data[1,] = gsub("<.*?>", "", data[1,])
Note that using regex to parse HTML generally is not a good idea. If you plan on doing anything with nested content then you should consider using an R package which can parse HTML content.

I am using the XRRichText.visible=off if there is no data, but still it throwing some spaces in report. I do not want those spaces if there is no data.
Just want to display none & no spaces . How can I do this?
The upper spaces are just XRRichText.
Set the property ProcessNullValues for the labels with the issue as ‘Suppress and Shrink’.
The purpose of this property value is: If a control receives a null value, it is not printed (without adding blank space in its place).
The property has two more values:
Leave – A control is always printed.
Suppress - If a control receives a null value, a blank space is printed instead.
I have a table with a cell which contains a textframe which contains a table. In some of the cells inside the inside table, I have added a paragraph. Inside the paragraph I have placed text, via the addtext method, like "WordA WordB". The cell's size will cause a line break between "WordA" and "WordB".
The problem is that I am expecting:
WordA
WordB
What I am getting is:
WordA
WordB
Is there a setting somewhere to get what I expect or is this a bug in the renderer?
I think it's a bug - a bug that typically shows when words are longer than the column width allows.
For typical scenarios (short words in wide columns) this problem will not show up. With long words in narrow columns you sometimes get this bug. Hyphens or soft hyphens in long words will allow MigraDoc to break the words correctly.
It was a bug in the paragraph rederer (ParagraphRenderer.cs). There were actually 2 bugs I found. The first is if the current line doesn't fit and the next "Text" is a blank (" "). The second is if the current line is a blank (" ") and the next line doesn't fit.
The first bug was easy to fix, I changed the HandleNonFittingLine subroutine to keep advancing until it this.currentLeaf is not a blank (" ").
The second bug was harder to figure out and fix. I had to get the Format function to find the next leaf and pass the Current property, of the Next Leaf, to the FormatElement (if the next leaf exists). I then had to modify the FormatElement function to optionally take a second parameter. Then I modified the FormatElement function by returning FormatResult.Ignore if the current leaf is a blank (" ") and the next leaf doesn't fit on the current line with the blank (" ").
I have several Wordpress HTML pages for import through CSV/excel. One of the fields is content for the Wordpress page. Since these pages are all the same except for in 3 places (2 names, 1 IMG URL) I'm trying to be efficient and upload an excel with custom fields.
What I'd like to do is merge the IMG urls and Product Names into the appropriate spot in the Excel cell text so it's imported as a complete page. I'm trying to avoid all the cutting and pasting when adding 100's of similar pages with only a few different spots.
Any tips or advice on where I can accomplish this? I haven't been able to figure it out or find help online.
Cell Data Example:
<div id="productimage" style="float:left;width:380px;">
<img alt="alternate" src="imagesource" />
</div>
<div id="productspecs" style="float:left;padding-left:25px;">
<h2><strong>Product Name</strong></h2>
</div>
"Product Name", "alternate", and "imagesource" I have fields for in a spreadsheet .. I just don't know how to merge them into this Cell Data Example to auto-populate these new pages.
Thanks!
If I understand your question correctly, you have html in an Excel cell and you want to make parts of that html dynamic by referencing content in other cells of the workbook.
I assume that in your example you want to make the imagesource and the Product Name dynamic.
You can copy and paste the html into the Excel formula editor. You can increase its height, so you see more than one line at a time. The formula editor can handle line breaks.
If you want to build a string that contains double quotes, you will need to use two double quotes if the quote is inside the string and three double quotes in a row if it is at the beginning or end of a string. You can use the ampersand to concatenate strings and cell references.
With your specific example above, the formula in Excel would read somewhere along these lines (replace Sheet2!A2 etc. with the cell that holds your data. Arrange that data in a table with a row for each product, then you can copy this formula down to get the desired result.
="<div id=""productimage"" style=""float:left;width:380px;"">
<img alt=""alternate"" src="""&Sheet2!A2&""" />
</div>
<div id=""productspecs"" style=""float:left;padding-left:25px;"">
<h2><strong>"&Sheet2!B2&"</strong></h2>
</div>"
Turn on "Wrap Text" in the cell format, otherwise you will see it all in one line of code. The screenshot below uses two rows of data with different texts for image source and product name in sheet 2.
EDIT: I tried to post this in a comment, but the double and triple quotes don't make it and get replaced with just one quote.
Also, you managed to delete some of the & signs that concatenate the different strings. Please look again at the original formula I've posted. Replace the cell references with yours, but don't mangle the code. The principle is this:
="First String"&A1&"Next String"
If the string has quotes inside, double them
="He said "Please" but nobody heard him"&A1&"next string"
If the string has quotes at the beginning of the string, then you need the opening quote for the string and the double quote for the quote inside the string. Likewise for quotes at the end of the string: duplicate the quote in the string and then add the closing quote.
="""Please" - he said"&A1&"and she answered "OK."""
I have listbox with text in it, and I was asked to see if I could just justify its contents after the dash. My resulting code produced something like this:
Which works fine for scenarios where the text to the left of the dash is less than the max length found from the other items in the listbox (i.e. (B20) is less than (B15-B19), which is the longest entry found, so add some whitespace before the dash).
The issue, though, is that if the text before the dash is same length, it still looks like it isn't justified. Example:
Is there a way to truly line up all the dashes? I would imagine I would have to look at the actual pixel length of the characters before the dash as opposed to the length?
Notes:
I am using ASP.NET Webforms
VB.NET
The text for each item in the listbox is all one string
Right now, my method to accomplish what you see in the first picture is as follows:
Public Sub JustifyDisplayName()
Const ACCOUNT_FOR_DASH As Integer = 4
Dim maxCharCount As Integer = 0
Dim whiteSpace As String = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(" ")
'Find which one is the longest code
For Each element As TextEntry In Me
If element.Value.Length > maxCharCount Then
maxCharCount = element.Value.Length
End If
Next
'Now, extend the '-' to the max for all items
For Each element As TextEntry In Me
'See how much white space we need to inject
Dim paddingNeeded As Integer = maxCharCount - element.Value.Length
Dim tempDisplay As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder(element.Value)
If paddingNeeded > 0 Then
tempDisplay.Append(CChar(whiteSpace), paddingNeeded + ACCOUNT_FOR_DASH)
tempDisplay.Append(" - " & element.Description)
End If
tempDisplay.Append(" - " & element.Description)
element.DrillDownDisplayNameJustified = tempDisplay.ToString()
Next
End Sub
Thanks.
If you used a fixed-width font, you could make this all much easier. In addition to good ol' Courier, I believe there are others.
If you don't, you're not going to be able to get exactly the right width. You could get close, but you won't get it exactly, because the difference in length between (H60-H95) and (I00-I99) as they are rendered may not evenly divide into increments of one .
But if you really want to give this a try, you'll have to use the System.Drawing namespace, the Graphics class, and a method on Graphics called MeasureString. This will be just to get the lengths of the strings in your selected font, though: System.Drawing doesn't apply to web apps.
If you could append spaces to short items before the dash so that you always have the same number of characters before the dash, you may consider using Monospaced Fonts, where each character occupies the same width - Ref: Similar Question.
