<p> The UI Designer provides support for scalable strings when designing interfaces. A scalable string is a list of string variants that can be displayed based upon some criteria, like the width of the current view, to show as much information as possible. </p> |

<p>Scalable strings are enabled in S60 2.8 and above. The S60 platform automatically selects the longest string that will fit in the space allotted for a piece of text. This space may change, for instance, when switching between portrait and landscape modes. Up to five strings may be specified. When viewing or editing scalable string properties as text rather than using the string list editor dialog, the variants are separated by the ASCII 1 ('\001') character, as in S60 source code.</p>
