line breaks in SpanLabel?

[Clement Levallois]

Hi, is it possible to add line breaks (\n) in SpanLabels? If not, what are the alternatives to achieve the desired effect?

Thanks!

Hi,
yes. Its possible.
The GUI builder doesn't quite support it though. It only works via the localization UI when you edit the bundle directly.

Hi,

I created a localized bundle called "MesTraductions" and I add a column for English ("en"). In this bundle, I retrieve the text from the SpanLabel with Synch UI and I add an "en" localized version for it: text\nSpanLabel (see first screenshot)

Then in StateMachine I add:

    @Override
    protected void initVars(Resources res) {
        this.res = res;
        UIManager.getInstance().setBundle(res.getL10N("MesTraductions", "en"));


    }

Then I run the Simulator from NetBeans but I don't get a line break, see second screenshot:

 What should I do?

\n won't work.
In the L10N view you need to click the "Edit Text" button and there you can just type in the text with line breaks (regular enter).
