I am creating a big table with MigraDoc.
I have two issues I don't know how to solve exactly:
If the content (Paragraph) of a cell is too long it breaks and I got 2 lines in my cell. I don't want this behavior. I want that the text which does not fit in the first line of the cell is hidden.
If a word is too long I want also that the characters which are outside of the cell are hidden. Now they are displayed in the next cell :/ and are overlapping with the content of the next cell...
Do you know how to fix this issues?
This behavior is by design.
Use MeasureString to measure your text before you add it and truncate at the correct place (maybe adding "..." if you want).

This question and the comments and answers prompted this question. How do I effectively use Cells and CellGroups in mathematica? I've always only programmed systematically inside the input cells, entering the next line in a new cell after evaluating the previous. Looking around at the different options available, this seemed inefficient.
How do I use these more effectively? I tried organizing my code into sections using command-5 and into subsections, etc. But then when I try to get back to input cell with command-9, it doesn't evaluate it. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, so help is appreciated.
Cell groups are just that, a way to group cells together. These groups can be easily selected, executed as one, and opened/closed (collapsed). By default these groups are indicated by a series of blue brackets to the right of the cells:
As seen above, output cells are automatically grouped with the input cell that created them. Also, the Section cell automatically groups the Text, Input, and Output cells below it. Finally the Title cell groups all cells below it, including the Section cell.
The different classes of cells that are available, such as Title, Section, etc., are determined by the active Stylesheet. The way they group is controlled by the option CellGroupingRules. This is a more advanced area, and details are probably better addressed in a different question.
Cell Grouping can be done either automatically, the default, or manually, or to a limited extent by a combination thereof. This is all handled by the menu commands in Cell > Grouping > ... or the keyboard shortcuts listed there.
If using Automatic Grouping, then styling a cell in a style that groups (as controlled by CellGroupingRules) will automatically group "lesser" cells and cell groups beneath it.
To style a cell, select the entire cell, not just the cell contents, by either:
clicking on the blue cell bracket (or the area where it would be if it is hidden)
clicking within the cell and using Alt+. until the entire cell is selected
clicking and dragging from above the cell, where the cursor is horizontal, to below the cell
Then, use menu Format > Style > ..., or the corresponding key combinations.
The same methods can be used to select cell groups, rather than individual cells.
To create a new cell of a particular style:
click outside of existing cells where the cursor is horizontal
this should create a horizontal rule as shown in earlier illustration
specify a style, again with Format > Style > ... or keyboard shortcuts
start typing (or paste) the contents of the new cell
To create a new Input cell, the default style, simply do step (1) and then type or paste the input.
It depends on your stylesheet. Input is not the nineth numbered style in every stylesheet. Also, you have to select the cell bracket to change a cell's style.
I use sections particularly to be able to use folding, i.e. the double clicking on the cell group bracket to hide the lower ranking cells. That makes for a clean document. It doesn't do anything with the Input cells (except for the context option).
I need to implement custom space separator with custom width between two part of paragraph in text view:
AAAA AA A -------- BBB BBBBB B
This is separator must be included as non-editable character. So user can't delete it or modify.
I understand, that i must overload standard behavior of textview in some points (for example, when user press "delete" right after separator nothing will be deleted)
I have several ideas how accomplish this task:
Use elastic glyph attribute (there are mentions in documentation about it). But I can't find any documentation about how to use it.
Use tab symbol and NSTextTab for each paragraph, and in any modification to the paragraph recalculate position of tab.
I will be very grateful for any right direction.
I had a similar problem and wound up inserting blank images of the desired width into the textview. The code for implementing this is here:
Changing the width of the space character in NSTextView
I've been playing around with NSTextView and have applied some paragraph styles to certain lines. However, when I type enter and get a new line, the attributes that I applied to one line are bleeding into the next.
I want to be able to apply a paragraph style to one line and have the next line be formatted in the default way. You can see what I mean from the screenshots.
When I add some spacing between paragraphs via NSParagraphStyle, the same spacing applies to the newline, which makes the whole thing look pretty shotty. Basically, I am looking for a way to reset the paragraph style for an empty line.
I have tried [MyTextView resetTypingAttributes:theAttributes] to no avail, since you first have to start typing for the new attributes to apply. Just to be clear, the line below the text in the screenshot is the cursor, which is really far down there as a result of the paragraph spacing.
Screenshot:
It seems that you have to use setTypingAttributes on the textview.
I am using Table View Control. In the control, I show File/Folders details, if I reduce the size of file/folder name column, it does not show partial file/folder name (whatever characters can be shown in the Column).
If a file name has multiple words in it, if enough space is not there to show a word then that word does not get shown at all, instead of showing some characters in that word (Either a word gets shown completely, or not at all)
I want to know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks so much.
Set the line break mode of the column's text cell, using either the Attributes inspector in IB or a setLineBreakMode: message to the cell.
