Answer 1

Another way of fitting long scrolling text into a grid column is to set a row height for the grid and use a component renderer and render a textarea in the grid which contains the text. This works good because if the text is too long the user will get a scrollbar inside the cell to see the overflowed text.

Column screen = grid.addComponentColumn(role->{
        TextArea ta = new TextArea();
        ta.setValue(VALUE_PROVIDER_TEXT);
        ta.setStyleName("clear");
        ta.setHeight("100px");
        ta.setReadOnly(true);
        ta.setWidth("150px");
        return ta;
    });
    screen.setWidth(150);
    screen.setCaption("Screens");
    grid.setBodyRowHeight(100);

and this in the css

  .v-textarea-clear{background-color: transparent;border: none;}
