screens generated using bmml files

[Lakshmi P]

Why the screens of Balsamiq does not appear(blank screen) when the code is generated in the tool? It appears only after the changes are make in terms of height and width. It happens the same with the Reify and the Smart builder

Could you please make a second attempt to explain what you mean? In particular what do you mean by "the tool" - the standalone Mockup Importer, the one inside Visual Builder?

And how are you testing the generated code?

If you can share your mockup file, that also helps.

Finally, always tell us what product and version you are using.

I am using Reify Mockup importer. The samething happens even in the Visual builder.

Version used:

SmartClient Version v12.0p_2019-12-07/EVAL

Today all of a sudden, I am getting the error(attachment) when I tried to import in the Visual Builder tool.

That error wouldn't happen "all of a sudden" but it would happen if you redeployed or rearranged things such that the setting mentioned in the dialog is now turned off. That's set in server.properties. We provide a couple of sample server.properties in the package, one for use in an SDK (under isomorphicSDK) and one for use in a real deployment (under isomorphicRuntime). You probably switched over to using the latter.

We've taken a look at the BMML files and notice that a number of the components have specified width and height of zero, which is causing them not to be rendered once imported into SmartClient.

For example (this is extracted from HomeScreen.bmml):

    <control controlID="0" controlTypeID="com.balsamiq.mockups::Button" x="656" y="365" w="-1" h="-1" measuredW="0" measuredH="0" zOrder="0" locked="false" isInGroup="-1">

The measuredH / measuredW attributes typically specify the pixel width/height for the control.

We're making a change to ignore specified sizes of zero - it seems to be basically invalid. This will likely fix the issues you're experiencing and we'll get this into our framework source shortly. However it seems odd that these attributes are being generated at all - possibly there's an issue with your version of Balsamiq or with the mockup you're extracting the bmml files from?

Anyway - we should have the change to ignore zero-specified sizes in the next nightly build (12.0 and 12.1 branches)
