Text of Field is Made Unreadable by Field Underneath If you find text to be unreadable on the form, more than likely, this is caused by multiple fields being at the same location and both being visible at the same time. Take the (artificial) example. In prior releases, a text label overlapping another was drawn with an opaque background, rendering the background text element effectively invisible. With 17.4, the text has a transparent background, allowing you to see what is behind it on the form. This provides some significant benefits, as you can overlay the text on other elements, such as a bitmap element or dynamic graphic. However, it means it is important that, if a field isn't currently appropriate or usable with the configuration of options, it should be set to be invisible. In the above case, to correct things, add info tags with field names for the two text labels. Then, turn off the label that is not to be displayed based on the current fields available on the form, as in the following image. The info field labels can be used to hide the interfering text, which is no longer displayed. This correction will require changes to both your form file AND the SKILL code that utilizes that form, since the code will need to be updated to set the visibility of the forms appropriately. ?
