bug in hiGetFieldInfo ? (skill)

[stefano]

Hello,
I have problem with the function hiGetFieldInfo, that should return the
dimensions of the form field, however I always
get width:width (two equal values) instead of width:length values. Could
it be some bug or
am I doing something wrong (some settings conflict or switch or anything) ?

thank you very much

Best regards,

stefano

What tool/version are you using? Also, do you have a testcase which
reproduces this?

I tried the following code, which works fine on my end (5.00.33):

------
(setq stringField (hiCreateStringField ?name 'afield
?prompt "prompt"))
(setq aform (hiCreateAppForm ?name 'myform
?formTitle "myform"
?fields (list stringField)))

(hiDisplayForm aform)
(printf "hiGetFieldInfo -> %L\n" (hiGetFieldInfo aform 'afield))
------

On my system, this prints:
hiGetFieldInfo -> ((0 0) (600 35) 63)

which looks about right for the form produced.

Thank you very much for the quick reply
I'm using the version 5.00.500.20

your code snip works fine for me , the problem is then, that I get the
wrong numbers after changing the form position.

best regards,

stefano

(test code follows
------------

; Cadence version: 5.0.0.500.20

xbut=hiCreateButton(
?name 'xbut
?buttonText "X"
?callback ""
)

xform=hiCreateAppForm(
?name 'xform
?formTitle "x"
?formType 'nonoptions
?dontBlock t
?buttonLayout 'OKCancel
?unmapAfterCB t
?fields list(
list( xbut 10:20 25:31 )
)

?attachmentList list( nil )
?callback ""
?initialSize list( 200 200 )
?minSize list( 200 200 )
?maxSize hiGetMaxScreenCoords()
)

hiDisplayForm( xform )

println( "Original coords:" )
println( hiGetFieldInfo( xform 'xbut ) )
println( "Now changing the x position by +1:" )
hiReattachField( xform 'xbut list( list( 11 20 ) list( 25 31 ) ) 0 )
println( "New coords:" )
println( hiGetFieldInfo( xform 'xbut ) )

Hm... yes, this does look like a bug. (I confirmed it on Linux and
Solaris, 5.00.33 USR3 and 5.10.41; it also doesn't matter whether the
field is a button or label or ...).

I don't quite see why this is happening, but I'm not an expert on the HI
forms code. I've filed a PCR on it and attached a modified version of
your testcase.
