Text-Wrap VI

[tscheng805]

Hello everybody!

As I have tried to wrap Text directly inside a multicolumn list, i searched my way for word-wrapping VIs but could not find anything. Since everybody seems to be using the "GetTextRect"-VI to compute the needed space for a certain amount of text, I went a different way:

In my VI i use the text-wrap function of a string-element, define its width and then read it out line-by-line to get the wrapped text.

I hope this helps somebody like me out there.

Is this implementation legit and any good?

Thank you.

Hi tscheng,

could you please attach a snippet or the VI itself instead of a JPG picture?

Nice!  Here's a slightly simpler version (including 'font' input since this can affect the result):

This worked perfectly. Thankyou.!!!
