Hello Paul

This way you have all the flexibility.


Yes, that could be, but I also hope you see that this optimization is much more than the often called 80:20 rule, may be 99:1. And gives a lot of labels on a (table view) form as work for not much gain.

I agree with you that a field is not a label. If only everything else in Servoy would be so consistent and strict .-)

Thanks and regards, Robert

Color Change in Default Kunstoff Theme

Postby ellenmeserow » Thu May 22, 2008 8:08 pm

Just a note -- When I upgraded to 3.5.6 from 3.5.5 the default background color of my forms got darker by a bit. Not going to worry about it, but some might. See attached, in the lower right of the screen is 3.5.5 and the upper left is 3.5.6.

Another one -- type-ahead width

Postby ellenmeserow » Thu May 22, 2008 10:45 pm

On the change you made:

[fix] case 123018: wrong type-ahead field popup dimension

We're very happy about this one, but it had some unintended consequences that I think could be rapidly fixed.

Basically, we complained about this kind of thing on the forum post http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?t=9690&highlight= partially because we were having trouble with the bug where typeaheads weren't as wide as their field, but when that was the case it was also possible to get typeaheads to be LONGER than the field they're attached to. Which was useful -- since comboboxes can't do that, nor can any menu type?

Is it possible/easy to ASAP make it so that typeaheads can never be SHORTER than the field they're attached to, but can be longer depending on the values within the valuelist (within reason of course).

This used to be possible when the bug was present, see attached where this typeahead (just made to look like a combobox for visual reasons) in the top left is 3.5.5 and bottom right is 3.5.6. You'll see my problem immediately I believe and understand the size of the problem -- it's a show stopper for us if they can't read the menus:

We changed this. Now the popup window can exceed the width of the parent. In the same time I put a maximum value, but also put horizontal scroller if needed. The change will be available in the next build.

Hello Paul

In trying to format a label I am stuck with the margin property. I tried to use these

text-align: left;
margin: 0px 2px 0px 0px;

in the hope the label would be left (it is) with a little margin to the left. When setting margin there is no reaction of the label to these settings. Is it a bug or is there another property for label margins?

Best regards, Robert


pbakker wrote:An addition to Gianni comments on the customizable tableView headers:

for each field in the tableView of which you want to customize the header, you place an extra label on you form and connect the label to the field using the labelfor property on the label (set it to the name of the field).

Now, style the label as you want and at runtime, the styling of the label will be used to style the header of the column of the tableview. The label will NOT show up as a separate label on your form at runtime.

Have you checked the available style properties for labels in the docs?

Does the margin setting work on normal labels (so labels that are not used for TableView column headers)?

Yes, in chapter 5, page 99 of the Servoy351DevRefGuide the margin property is listed for labels.

The margin does not work on normal labels, either, so it seems to be a bug.

Tabpanel moves when clicked on 3.5.6 Mac

Postby rioba » Sat May 24, 2008 8:03 am

I have a form with a tabpanel containing 2 forms. The first form in the tabpanel has a colored strip on top that changes according to the form content. In 3.5.6 if I click on the tabpanel it "moves" upward and covers the colored area. To restore the previous state I must toggle edit mode. This happens both in developer and smart client. It does not happen when clicking any object of the form (fields, buttons etc) but only when hitting the tabpanel itself.

I tested the same form with 3.5.5 and everything worked as expected.

Version 3.5.6-build 519
Java version 1.5.0_13-119 (Mac OS X)

This happens also using Java 1.6 (Java version 1.6.0_05-b13-52)

Please file a case in our support system for this.

Tnx,

Just specify "U" and "L" as format, this is also added to the prefilled list in 4.0 Developer (not sure about 3.5.x)

Correction: it's '|U' and '|L'. That's <pipe symbol>U and <pipe symbol>L .

I appears that 3.5.6 made the spell check button in the toolbar dissapear. Anyone else see this?

I hadn't noticed until a client pointed out that it's missing in their clients, then I noticed it's also gone in my developer installation. Could have been some other factor, but it seemed to coincide with the 3.5.6 update (from 3.5.5).

I see the image on the button has disappeared. The button itself is still there though. Will be fixed in the next release.

The fixed spell check plug-in can be downloaded here. Put it in your servoy plugins directory and restart.
