I am trying to create a UI for a list of micro blog content, and it would be grate to display multi-line rich text that has some icons inside text lines. 

So far, i do not see a multi-line label, I searched this forum, it is said to be supported in the future. 

And would rich text also be supported in the future?

 

Thanks,

Dong

Hi there,

 

Indeed, currently this is not supported. An alternative solution would be to use a WebView component using HTML5 to control what is displayed; Have you looked at the WebView component?

Yes, i tried the WebView component, the display looks good, but the it loads content very slowly. In a list, other components(e.g. Labels) are displayed very quickly, but it takes another 5 seconds to display the WebView content. Even though the content already set by "html:" property.

There is a feature request related to a customizeable rich textfield; I would recommend voting for it here:

https://www.blackberry.com/jira/browse/BBTEN-184

 

Thanks!

Has anyone discovered how to use it since the Beta 3?

 

It were in the Roadmap, it is mentioned in the Release notes, but I'm unable to discover it how to use it.

 

Is it a new control, have I to enable it at a Label or have I to use TextArea?

 

The only thing I were able to find was: inputMode: TextAreaInputMode.Chat at TextArea. But thats not the same. :smileyhappy:

Okay, finally a solution:

 

Use TextArea, wrap your text into <html> </html> tags and make your text bold using <b> </b>.

 

Hope this helps someone! :smileyhappy:
