Width of Question

robleer

Hi,

In a process I use a DISPLAY QUESTION with quite a lot of text. When running the app, the Question is very narrow.
Is there a way to make it wider?

I come from version 6 where this is no issue and the question is shown wide enough. Now I run my app on version 8 and the Question is really narrow.

Tia,

Rob

This is one of them The other (showing some details I cannot show here) which shows the problem. Those other contain much more text, but this one will give you an idea. It must be a bit wider.

Am I the only one who thinks the DISPLAY MESSAGE, DISPLAY QUESTION and REPORT ERROR need a lot of tender loving care.

Specifically it should look like:

DISPLAY MESSAGE [Header Style], [body style] , [header icon], [height] [width], "message goes here"

And these should be able to access the SystemSettings or LIRU to enable the setting of definitions for consistent formats that can be changed simply without searching for DISPLAY MESSAGE in your code and manually updating every instance.

I agree wih Bruce the addition of some options to DISPLAY MESSAGE, DISPLAY QUESTION and REPORT ERROR would be nice.

Until that happens we embed the script below in the actual action text. This works for all 3 actions.

<script>
/* Title Icon, Text and Width */
$('#aw-msgbox_wnd_title').html('<i class=\'fas fa-info-circle\'></i> MY WINDOW TITLE');
$('#aw-msgbox_wnd_title').parent().css('width','900px');
/* Window Width - should be same as previous Title Width */
$('#aw-msgbox').parent().css('width','900px');
/* Window Height */
$('#aw-msgbox').parent().css('height','250px');
</script>

So for example in the DISPLAY QUESTION action.


DISPLAY QUESTION `
This is my very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very  very very long Question

<script>
/* Title Icon, Text and Width */
$('#aw-msgbox_wnd_title').html('<i class=\'fas fa-info-circle\'></i> MY WINDOW TITLE');
$('#aw-msgbox_wnd_title').parent().css('width','900px');
/* Window Width - should be same as previous Title Width */
$('#aw-msgbox').parent().css('width','900px');
/* Window Height */
$('#aw-msgbox').parent().css('height','250px');
</script>
`

results in

Sometimes we store and it and/or its variable bits in business objects to manage repeated use.

Presumably, as a work around, it would also be possible to use a (modal) form instead of DISPLAY MESSAGE etc?
That may be overkill for a short message, but it gives greater control over the size of the window without having to resort to Javascript in the message content.
