For a client I'm having a ListTable that shows information about customers. There is a field with detailed information. The text in this field can be anywere from 0 to 20.000 characters. To maintain overview, 'wrap text' is disabled. When hovering the mouse over the record, a dynamic pop-up (automatic by SAS VA) shows with the formatted full text. However, very long texts are overflowing the height of the screen and are thus unreadable. Also, the hovering function is very unreliable and often does not trigger.
To fix this, I have created a pop-up window when a record is double-clicked. This pop-up window contains the same ListTable, but with 'wrap text' enabled. This shows the entire text, and the table is scrollable, so everything can be read.
However:
The text in this ListTable is unformatted. All enters, tabs, etc. are gone. Just words and spaces in a continues stream. This makes the text close to unreadable. How can one both show the full text within the table AND keep the original formatting as in the 'hover over' pop-up? Doesn't seem to me like a niche option, but common sense in which formatting a table should have.
