Image Editor on HTML Client

Image editor on html client works the same way it does on desktop client with a couple of minor differences. As you can tell, the toolbar got changed a little bit. We added “Add a Field” and “Delete Selection” buttons and removed “Show Character Interface” and “Data Palette” buttons. These buttons are not supported on html client yet. Also, we grouped the buttons in a more logical way. Hovering over the buttons gives you shortcut key you can use instead of clicking the button.

Another difference is that when you move an item, the border color indicates if the move or resize is valid or not. If the border becomes red, then it means the action is not valid.

• Dotted red border means the item overlaps with another item.
• Solid red border means the item has the same position as another item on the screen.
• Solid green means the move is successful.

Another new feature that we added to html client’s image editor is guideline. Guideline is a dotted green line that shows up when the left side or top side of the widget you are moving is aligned with another widget on the screen. This is an easy way to align your widget with another widget on the screen.

Next difference has to do with Row Texts (text typed on the screen). We generally discourage using row text on html client and have limited support for it on html client. To add/modify row text using the html client, you must double click on the area of the screen that you want to add row text to. It then opens up a text field for the whole row for you to add your row text. Keep in mind that if you have a widget on that row, you cannot add any row texts after that widget. This is an html client limitation. Also, make sure that you are in change mode, otherwise double click doesn’t work.

Next difference is the enhanced widget view for some widgets. We added some icons to some widgets, so widget type can be recognized easier by looking at it. Also, we added the style of the widget to the widgets, so it is more like what you see during the runtime. Hovering over buttons also gives you the option number of the buttons.

The new image editor on html client should also work on release 5, however there are 2 known issues with release 5:

1. Multi widget editor doesn’t detect the selected items on the screen.
2. Screens that use the first row as the title bar don’t show up correctly.

• HTML Client - In the ILF editor, the search, replace and jump button items are not functional (We expect to deal with this issue in the next release)
• HTML Client - In the ILF editor, some audit information will be truncated or missing (We expect to deal with this issue in the next release)
• HTML Client - In the ILF editor, the ILF code end marker [END] will not be present on APPX versions prior to 6.2.0
• HTML Client - In the ILF editor, statement(s) commented as a multi-line comment, will not be shown as being commented on APPX versions prior to 6.2.0
• HTML Client - The cross reference tool screen (i.e., under Tools->Cross Reference->ILF Statements) is missing the ILF verbs and shows extra and missed formed text in APPX versions prior to 6.2.0
• HTML Client - When selecting ILF code statements, the highlighting maybe be misapplied if the page keys are used in APPX versions prior to 6.2.
