Modifying forms

Hi,

I am trying to generate a form with multiple enumerated checkboxes (10 to be precise) but when the form loads half of the check boxes can only be accessed by scrolling down the list

I want to expand the size of that part of the form so that all check boxes can be seen

Does anyone know a way of obtaining the DXL source code of a form?

Because I want to find the source code of the form, and then reverse-engineer it so that I can display all of the checkboxes

Any other workaround or suggestionw would be most welcome,

Best regards, Jon

Post the code you have, I doubt you are using "CheckBoxes".

Hi, sorry I might not have explained what I'm trying to do very well, attached is a document with a screen shot of the form I have created, as you can see some of the check boxes are obscured. I would like to edit the code of this form, to make it bigger so I can see all the boxes.

Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks, Jon

"Forms"? Golly, just now discovered them. How long have they existed?

Forms have been in DOORS from 8.2. But they are useful for small forms only and as Jon discovered do have problems with placing the elements in the form. I studied them when they came out and if I remember correctly the forms created are placed in somewhere in the DOORS DB and are not in any useful format (e.g. non-encrypted DXL).
