Multiline="Yes" in Text elements on an XML Gauge

[Guest daveysaxt]

Hi All,I've trawled the net for hours looking for the answer to this question (I'm certain that a while ago I did stumble over an example, but can't find it now)...My question is, does the Multiline="Yes" attribute in the Text tag allow you to draw text in a block of lines ?ie. Text Line 1 Text Line 2 More Text Even more textIf so, how do you structure the the contents of the text element.I've tried things like:XXXYYYBut this only ever results in the LAST string declared being drawn.I read in the MSDN site that n will insert a newline in multiline text - it doesn't seem to work, it just draws n, eg:XXXnYYYproduces XXXnYYYI've also tried things like: XXX YYYto try and embed a newline in the string - still doesn't work.I have a vague memory of seeing something like XXXYYYBut that doesn't work either !Can anyone help with this - it's driving me bonkers. I know I could of course just set up two individual Text elements for the above example, but what if I want to render a block of text of varying numbers of lines, generated by some macro or other ?Anybody any ideas on this ??Dave.

>>Anybody any ideas on this ??>Yes, you must use instead of .To insert a newline, use n like in your own example.Tom

I've had the same problem. slash-n \n does not place the following text on a new line. I've resorted to stacking multiple text lines on top of each other.-Pv-

You must use <FormattedText> instead of <Text>, which doesn't support any kind of formatting.Tom

Hi,You must use FormattedText.For example an fmc page:<Element Name="departure"><FormattedText X="265" Y="230" Bright="Yes" Font="Arial" FontSize="14" Adjust="left" Color="White" LineSpacing="15" Tabs="15,25L,140C,255R,265R"><Font FontSize="15"/><String>\t\t\{fnt1}%((@c:FlightPlanDepartureAirportIdent))%!s!% DEPARTURES\t\t1 / 1\n\{lsp=20}\n\{fnt}< DEP1A >\t\t\t< DEP1B >\n\n< DEP2A >\t\t\t< DEP2B >\n\n< DEP3A >\t\t\t< DEP3B >\n\n< DEP4A >\t\t\t< DEP4B >\n\n< DEP5A >\t\t\t< DEP5B >\n\n< INDEX\t\t\tARR ></String></FormattedText></Element>Try and make yours.Hope it helps,Jan
