[DCCRPG] Equipment Module Records with Strange Display Issue

[leozelig]

I added a Damage Type field for items, and I have made the desired changes to ref_equipment for module files. I am seeing this weird overlapping display of the Damage Type label when no data is entered for damage type. The field uses the string_columnh template (defined in CoreRPG), which means that the field should be hidden when no data is present. If I change it to string_column, it displays properly (no overlap) but is not hidden. Here is a snipped of the ref_equipment code and module file entries...

ref_equipment

	<windowclass name="ref_weapon_stats">
		<script>
			function onInit()
				type_label.setValue("[" .. type.getValue() .. "; " .. subtype.getValue() .. "]");
			end
		</script>
		<sheetdata>
			<anchor_column name="columnanchor" />
			
			<hs name="type" />
			<hs name="subtype" />
			
			<label_column name="type_label">
				<anchored>
					<top relation="relative" offset="7" />
				</anchored>
				<font>reference-b-large</font>
			</label_column>


			<line_column />
			
			<label_column name="cost_label">
				<static textres="ref_label_cost" />
			</label_column>
			<string_column_left name="cost">
				<readonly />
			</string_column_left>
			
			<label_column_right name="weight_label">
				<anchored to="cost" />
				<static textres="ref_label_weight" />
			</label_column_right>
			<number_column_right name="weight">
				<anchored to="cost" />
				<readonly />
			</number_column_right>
			
			<line_column />
			
			<label_column name="damage_label">
				<static textres="ref_label_damage" />
			</label_column>
			<string_column name="damage">
				<readonly />
			</string_column>
			
			<label_column name="dmgtype_label">
				<static textres="ref_label_dmgtype" />
			</label_column>
			<string_column name="damagetype">
				<readonly />
			</string_column>
				
			<label_column name="range_label">
				<static textres="ref_label_range" />
			</label_column>
			<number_columnh name="range">
				<readonly />
			</number_columnh>
			
			<line_column name="line_desc"/>
			
			<ft_columnh name="description">
				<separator>line_desc</separator>
				<readonly />
			</ft_columnh>
		</sheetdata>
	</windowclass>

module data

		<weapon>
			<battleaxe>	
				<name type="string">Battleaxe</name>
				<cost type="string">7 gp</cost>
				<damage type="string">1d10</damage>
				<range type="number">0</range>
				<type type="string">Weapon</type>
				<description type="formattedtext">content removed</description>
			</battleaxe>
			<blackjack>	
				<name type="string">Blackjack</name>
				<cost type="string">3 gp</cost>
				<damage type="string">1d3/2d6</damage>
				<damagetype type="string">Nonlethal</damagetype>
				<range type="number">0</range>
				<type type="string">Weapon</type>
				<description type="formattedtext">content removed</description>
			</blackjack>
			<dagger>	
				<name type="string">Dagger</name>
				<cost type="string">3 gp</cost>
				<damage type="string">1d4/1d10</damage>
				<range type="number">10</range>
				<type type="string">Weapon</type>
				<description type="formattedtext">content removed</description>
			</dagger>

Anyone know why this isn't working? Screenshots below...

This one displays properly, but only by chance...

The code above has string_column for "damagetype" - here is the alternative form using string_columnh, in case it's not obvious...

            <label_column name="dmgtype_label">
                <static textres="ref_label_dmgtype" />
            </label_column>
            <string_columnh name="damagetype">
                <readonly />
            </string_columnh>

You need to call the control the same name as the label minus "_label". So should be "dmgtype" not "damagetype".

That did it - thank you Trenloe!
