Creating a text block control

It is possible to display a block of text in Visual Overview like a regular Cube text block control, with the default Cube font and font size.

• To do so, to the shape containing the text, add the shape data field Options, and set it to Control=TextBlock.

  Shape data field	Value
  Options	Control=Textblock

In addition, from DataMiner 9.5.1 onwards, you can also specify the behavior of the text block scrollbars.

• To do so, add the HorizontalScrollbarVisibility= and VerticalScrollbarVisibility= options to the Options shape data field:

  Shape data field	Value
  Options	Control=Textblock| HorizontalScrollbarVisibility=Value| VerticalScrollbarVisibility=Value

• HorizontalScrollbarVisibility and VerticalScrollbarVisibility can be set to the following values:

  • Auto: A scrollbar is displayed when the text block cannot display all the content.

  • Visible: The scrollbar is always displayed.

  • Hidden: The scrollbar is never displayed, but the content is allowed to scroll.

  • Disabled: The scrollbar is never displayed and scrolling is not possible.
