Dear FMF Community,

 

i have following Problem.

 

Sometimes the content of my TextField/Portal is to much for the TextField/Portal, is it possible to show my customer a sign that there is more Data?

This time FileMaker only doesn't show the content anymore, but you don't recognice that there is more.

 

Sincerly,

You could figure out how many actual characters fit in the field, and if the "Length ( table::field )" has more then the allotted characters use a text object "click and scroll to view more..." on the layout adjacent to the field or even over it, then use the Hide Objects feature of FMP 13 - to hide that text object.

Thank you. It's a possibility.

 

But not all characters have the same widht. Compare 'o' an 'l' so there is no perfect lenght for the field.

It's better than nothing, but maybe someone got another idea.

Greetings
