but that's ok on android

Is there someone to help me ?

[thib_fr]

Is it a bug ?

I found a workaround!

Use a network-shared array of strings instead and assign it to the property "List Items" of a List Box indicator:

Example code here:

Building an array of stringsthe network-shared variableconverting an existing multi-line string into an array of strings (makes use of OpenG's Multi-line String to Array.vi which is part of the OpenG string lilbrary available via OpenG Library on LabVIEW Tools Network

there is screen difference between ipad and android tablet, both use different type of operating system, check your code again and did you use </br> line break tag?

Hey Richard,

Thank you for your additional input. As described in the first two posts, thib_fr had no problem with line breaks on Data Dashboard for Android. Only the iOS version was problematic (but a workaround exists, as I described).

I am not sure if your posting is a question or an additional suggestion.

I did not use any html tags on my code (should be <br /> by the way in xhtml, having the slash at the end). I don't own any apple hardware anymore, therefore cannot test if this would make a difference. My gut feeling however is that it does not.

I attached my demo project from a year ago to this posting, could be more handy than the snipped above. Disclaimer: It contains one OpenG VI.
