Multiline

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

I tried an example on:
dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dht … .html#code

I did the following tests:

  1. I dragged the separator bar next to the “Book Title” all the way to the right end, the “Book Title” column now became the single line: “Time to Kill Time to Kill Time to Kill Time to Kill Time to Kill Time to Kill Time to Kill Time to Kill”

However, the height of this row never changed correspondingly. I mean, it should “shrink” into single-line height. But it remain as multiline height, instead.

  1. I picked another entry in the “Book Title” column such as the “Blood and Smoke”, and tried to add more entries to the field so that the field now carries more words: “Blood and Smoke Blood and Smoke Blood and Smoke Blood and Smoke Blood and Smoke Blood and Smoke Blood and Smoke”.

Now this row became multiline row. Next, I removed some words from the field so that only the word “Smoke” was left. Ideally, the height of the row should shrink into single row height. But it remain as multiline height, instead.

To summarize, once a row becomes multiline (height), it will remain so and can not be changed back to single line row, now matter the column is stretched wider or more words are removed from the field. Expect that the height of a mutiline row can change correspondingly.

Yes, it is known limitation of multiline in split mode ( without split it will work as you are expecting )

We can provide custom version of split extension, which will resize as you have described, but it will work significantly slower ( that is why we are not including such functionality in the main version )
