Vaadin Form TextField multiline caption

Question

I have an Form with many TextField's (Vaadin), each one have very long caption.

Can i make TextField's caption multiline?

Answer 1

I don't think you can. Can you use TextArea instead?

Update: Define a custom style in your style.css:

.v-caption-multiline {
    white-space: pre;
}

And then use in in your code to separate the lines by \n:

TextField t = new TextField("A very long caption\nA very long caption ");
t.addStyleName("multiline");

Answer 2

In Vaadin 7, the Panel caption excepts HTML.

Example, _subscript and <br/> commands.

I don't know about version prior to 7.
