[Xerte] strange behaviour in xwd form

Wed Mar 3 16:30:25 GMT 2010

I just downloaded the build from the main xerte web site.
The Help / About shows it to be version 2.10 dated 28th Jan 2010

Is this the correct download, as I opened my project and tried adding a
few extra optional properties. The 8th optional property displayed its
label but no field to edit its property value.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Yeah, the bug with the depths is fixed - previously there was only space
for 20 controls and labels - now there is space for 180. Download the
latest build.

Name always appears at the top I think. So if you don't want the first
one split by the optional ones, don't use the nodeName 'name'. Check
that for me, as I haven't time today to mock it up,

I see the problem with the labels -that's a depth issue I'll fix when I
get a chance.

I can't help but think it might be easier to add different types of
sub-page (image, FlashPaper, etc), and then there won't be the need for
so many options. The model is the same, and your logic is the same, more
or less, but it's clearer to the end user what you are doing.

What do you think?

No problem.

Please find a sample project with one page using the wizard attached to
this email.

Can you send a sample project, so I can just run the wizard?

I have a xwd file and associated xml file.

They are developed from the tab navigation files and provide an
additional layer of nesting - a page has several tabs and each tab can
have several option radio buttons.

Everything works OK when I open the xwd file to populate the xml file
except that

1) When I select an optional parameter and add it on the nested tab
form, instead of appearing at the top of the parameter list they appear
below the first compulsory parameter, splitting the compulsory
parameters. With other forms optional parameters always appear above the
compulsory parameters.

2) After 6 or 7 optional parameters are added either the label for the
compulsory parameter that has been separated from the other compulsory
parameters, ceases to be displayed, or the label is displayed and the
value is not displayed. Deletion of any of the optional parameters
appears then to allow the display once more of the missing items.

I have opened both the xwd and xml files in XML Marker and no xml errors
are returned. So what am I missing?

I have attached a zip file containing the .xcp wizard file and a jpg
file illustrating what is happening.

Any ideas would be most welcome.
