I am having trouble with my text fields not auto wrapping. The field is set to false in the property inspector yet when text is inputed it continues past the width of my text entry field. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Otis,
check in the property inspector for the field if by any chance "don't wrap" is active. If so try to uncheck it. That is the only thing I can think of.
Kind regards

Hi Otis,
quick guess, maybe this applies to you: wrapping only happens with SPACES!
If your content does not have any SPACE in it, it won't wrap.

Re: Auto Wrap Text
I bet Klaus has identified the problem. The field will not wrap a line unless there is a space somewhere in that line. There has to be a space in EACH line.
Try it.
You can work around this by playing with the formattedWidth. You can place hard returns at the appropriate character in each line, or force one if the length of that line exceeds that value.

Re: Auto Wrap Text
Thank you all for your replies. It was the space issue on each line.
