Text View
Text View
A text label view supports displaying simple text on a screen.
General Information
A text label view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters TL, followed by the view number. For example: %TL1
See MCI for general information on how to use views and common configuration properties available for them.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
text |
Sets the text to display on the label |
textStyle |
Sets the standard (non-focus) text style. See Text Styles in MCI |
width |
Sets the width of a view to display horizontally (default 15) |
justify |
Sets the justification of the text in the view. Options: left (default), right, center |
fillChar |
Specifies a character to fill extra space in the view with. Defaults to an empty space |
textOverflow |
Set overflow characters to display in case the text length is less than the width. See Text Overflow below |
Text Overflow
The textOverflow option is used to specify what happens when a text string is too long to fit in the width defined.
If textOverflow is not specified at all, a text label can become wider than the width if needed to display the text value.
Setting textOverflow to an empty string textOverflow: "" will cause the item to be truncated if necessary without any characters displayed
Otherwise, setting textOverflow to one or more characters will truncate the value if necessary and display those characters at the end. i.e. textOverflow: ...
Example
