Hypertext filed - remove the white box (virtuoso 6.x)

Adrian Nistor

 Hello,

I have made a screenshot to a test for showing my problem (the image from bottom). There is a form with a Hypertext field, and some other dummy fileds, and a white box appearing from the hypertex. Thewhite area is not respecting my size values if they are smaller. If I set the hypertext field to be laerger, the white area will grow. But in this case I wanted that the hypertext to have only one row height (30). Where am I wrong? Why is the white box appear so large?

The code:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MyForm = hiCreateAppForm(
    ?name   'formSymbol
    ?initialSize    t
    ?fields list(
        list( hiCreateSimpleHypertextField(
                            'myLink
                            "any www page"
                            "www.cadence.com"
                            t
                            )
                            0:0 100:30
            )
        list( hiCreateBooleanButton(
                              ?name        'anyFiled
                              ?buttonText  "a great boolean button"
                              ?defValue    nil
                              ?enabled        t
                                )
                           0:20 175:30
            )   
        list( hiCreateBooleanButton(
                              ?name        'anotherFiled
                              ?buttonText  "another great boolean button"
                              ?defValue    nil
                              ?enabled        t
                                )
                           200:20 200:30
            )
    )
    ?formTitle "Testing form"
    ?help      nil
    ?buttonLayout 'OKCancel
)
hiDisplayForm(MyForm)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you,

Best regards,

Adi.

    Adi,
    For some reason, I cannot see your screenshot. However, I have seen the same problem and opened a Cadence ticket on it this past summer. The bug does not exist in 5.1.41 and it is fixed in the latest 6.1.4 release. I think the problem exists at least in 6.1.3.x. What version are you using?

    Hello,

    I try to resolve the screenshot problem;

    In my case it's 6.1.3.5.... So .. I udnersted it's somehow... a known problem. Probably when we will change to a newer version the problem will be fixed.

    Thank you for your answer !

     I just played with this in IC613 and IC614. In IC613 the field size is wrong (Derek's CCR is about this). In IC614 it's the right size, but there still seems to be a white background under the hypertext field itself. Not convinced that's right, so if you don't like it, you should contact customer support.

    I don't think there's a workaround for any IC613 subversion.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
