Control size of editor presentations


Rachel Alderman (331518) | asked May 28 '12, 10:38 a.m.
I have custom workitems, with associated editors, that have multiple multi-line text (ie HTML) presentations.

Is there a way (a property similar to properties like labelVisible??) where I can specify the minimum size attributes the for a presentation?

Currently the same editor displayed in the Eclipse UI displays presentations of kind "com.ibm.team.workitem.kind.html" that have default values as a single line box (even though they span multiple lines), whereas on the browser UI it displays them as the size necessary to show the content.

The concern is that users will miss information in the boxes because its is "hidden" unless you know to scroll down.

Thanks in advance
Rachel

Hi Rachel,

as far as I know, you have no control on this, except choosing a different layout or slot in the layout. But even in a different layout, the layout provides the general proportion and the UI calculates the distribution of the fields in their layout slot.

Hi Ralph,
This is a really frustrating scenario - particularly as the browser version of the editor displays the same layout differently to the client. A colleague thought there was a new property possible at RTC 4, but was unable to remember where he saw it and I was hoping these was a minimum height property available.
