Hi,

The plus sign is now visible because the optional characteristic strings are too long and the way the windows is drawn, the drop box resizes itself and hide the plus sign. Resizing the whole windows does not help because it is the description text entry that get resized. Any idea ?

I have attached a Smart Designer plug-in which addresses separate issues related to the following characteristic of the Device Information service:

The plug-in should resolve the following items related to this characteristic:

Thanks,

Would maximising the "WICED Smart Device" window help?

No,

The issue really seems with the layout this window. The width of the widgets on the left side is fixed. Only the widgets on the right side change size to fill the window.

Hello Yves,

This issue was fixed in SDK 2.2: WICED-Smart-SDK-2.2-IDE-Installer.zip

Make sure you are running at least Java version 7

I am using SDK 2.2.0 and Java 8 Update 31.

The problem is only with the Device Information service.

There is no problem to add the service but after, it is impossible to

add a characteristic because there is one in the dropdown list that is

very very long.

The max width of the dropbox needs to be limited to make sure that the button

is always visible and it is not the case on my system.

Which Service do you have selected when you run into the problem adding a new characteristic (the one that is too long) ? Vendor specific service?

Can you attach a picture of what you are seeing regarding the long characteristic which is changing the functionality of the UI?

Hello Yves,

Can you send me the Device Information Error Picture that shows the overlay.

Sorry,

It seems that sending images by e-mail does not work. Here it is.

Note that there was an image in the first e-mail I have sent that shows the issue.

As you can see, when Device Information is selected, the two drop boxes become

so wide that they hide the + button that should be there.

Is there some way with a keyboard shortcut to add the characteristic one it is chosen

in the drop box ?

Thanks,

Yves
