SC 6.1.3 forms rendition

The forms in 6.1.3 are really pissing me off

I have a form I am working on for a customer and rendition of the different objects is so inconsistant that it is impossible to make the forms look nice.

Take a look at the 2 attached screenshots.

In the first the top right yellow label is not extended to the form with and neither is the notepad. And the button which in the forms designer was placed 2 pixles next to the notepad end up all over on the right side of the form.

Now look at the second screenshot. This looks much better and the only difference is where the button is placed. Now both the label and the notepad is extended all the way to the full width of the form.

I have opened a case with HP but was told this is not a bug. If an element is not extended I should resize it myself ? ? ? Whaaat they don't see the inconsistancy in the 2 examples?

I agree that the eclipse form designer leaves a huge amount of room for improvement. While they have fixed a few issues, they have created just as many new ones.

the button prevents the notebook tab from extending, it seems....

agree... forms designer is hard stuff

Good luck

Sometimes I get desired layouts to work by putting objects (perhaps like the button in this case) inside a group object, then stretching out the group object in various ways. I believe as well, that you can make the group object invisible, but still see the content objects.
