OK.... I know if I go ahead and type http://www.google.com into a text attribute, DOORS will display it as a hyper link. That's the easy part, what I would like to do is first mask the URL so that "GOOGLE" would be displayed as the hyper link. In HTML you would use something like "GOOGLE" to do this. ------------------------- Scott Boisvert Engineering Tools Administrator L-3 Communications - Avionics Systems scott.boisvert@l-3com.com Edited: 4-Oct-2007 at 18:04 by Scott Boisvert |

Scott,
I don't think this can be done. The reason is because DOORS is not an HTML renderer. It is, at closest, a rich-text renderer. Try this. Go into Word, create a hyperlink like you describe (with the Insert>Hyperlink command or Cntrl-K) and then copy and paste that into DOORS. See what DOORS does? It's not possible now. You may wish to submit an enhancement request to Telelogic. It may make it into DOORS 12 (rim shot)! ------------------------- Kevin Murphy http://www.baselinesinc.com The Requirements Management Experts |

You're being awful optimistic there Kevin.

Lol...Yeah that's kinda what I expected....But you never know. I thought I saw a screenshot somewhere that had something similar, but I must have been imagining it. Oh well....
Trying to find a way to create versioned links based on an attribute and view......Basically only want to display links that are pertinant to a particular version of the object (based on a multi-enumeration attribute)..... ------------------------- Scott Boisvert Engineering Tools Administrator L-3 Communications - Avionics Systems scott.boisvert@l-3com.com |

Scott,
I posted this in another thread, but it applies here too! While I was falling asleep last night, I had an idea. Isn't it weird how ideas just pop into your head? Create a shortcut on your desktop to a URL. I did this by clicking the "location" field in Internet Explorer and dragging its contents to my desktop. I then inserted that shortcut into the Object Text of an object! This apparently would solve this problem. So the link is not inline, but you can display whatever text you want and have a "hyperlink". Double clicking the shortcut launches your browser, and does NOT launch an in-line editor! What do you guys think? Is this a good workaround? ------------------------- Kevin Murphy http://www.baselinesinc.com The Requirements Management Experts |

Well it does work. Only issue is it showing the correct icon.
Good idea Kevin. ------------------------- David Pechacek AAI Services Textron dpechacek@sc-aaicorp.com David.Pechacek@gmail.com Edited: 5-Oct-2007 at 21:25 by David Pechacek |

Heh...It seems to work for web sites, but what I'm actually trying to do is create a hyperlink to another object in DOORS, (seeing we can't exactly modify the actual link menu to only display certain links).
I.E. We are looking at the possibility of using the attributes on links (l."Type") to seperate links based on what type they are. Please don't ask, I think its a horrible idea (it violates our standards), but I lost this battle.....Basically we only want to display links that are of a certain type, but be able to navigate them as well. ------------------------- Scott Boisvert Engineering Tools Administrator L-3 Communications - Avionics Systems scott.boisvert@l-3com.com |

Scott, I think you have declared defeat prematurily -- I think you still have a good chance to win this battle.

quote: LOL.... I would love to tell them it's not possible (actually I think I did, though I may have stretched the truth a little), but the DER has approved it, and their solution is to change the standard. Gotta love that attitude.... Requirements Based Engineering = if you can't satisfy the requirement easily....Change the requirement. Always make sure you take the path of least amount of work for you, no matter how much time you have to waste justifying your act or how much work your act will cause others..... k...Done venting. In all honesty I can see the usefulness in the concept of this (i.e. incremental development), but for what they are proposing it is just...well silly. Basically they want to use the concept to get around the standards and test scripts that we run on a weekly basis, I have a trace report script that checks all our tracing based on the standards. Doesn't check the validity of the trace (I'm not Bill Gates, no artificial intelligence here...not with DXL at least...lol), but it will check some of the more basic attributes, i.e. does the requirement have an out link, does it have a link from a test case, if it is a safety requirement does it link to another safety....so on and so forth. Anywho... Had a thought this morning while in another meeting....Is there a trigger that will activate when a specific attribute of an object is double clicked? I played with it some this morning, but I couldn't get attribute (trigger) or attrdef (trigger) to work and an attribute trigger only works on a save...Wondering if there was a way if I used an open object trigger is there a way to tell what attribute was opened? ------------------------- Scott Boisvert Engineering Tools Administrator L-3 Communications - Avionics Systems scott.boisvert@l-3com.com |

My method works for DOORS URLs.
You can't create a shortcut on the desktop in the normal way. Right-click an object in DOORS. Click Copy URL. Paste the URL in Internet Explorer. Drag the URL from the location bar in IE to your Desktop. Then edit object text and drag the shortcut into DOORS. Voila. It works. I just tried it in DOORS 8.2. ------------------------- Kevin Murphy http://www.baselinesinc.com The Requirements Management Experts |

Scott,
New in DOORS 8.2 is the following perm: int getCursorPosition(Module, bool& isHead) This is documented. Look under "what's new in DOORS 8.2". The following perm is probably a lot more useful, but it is not documented: int getInPlaceColumnIndex(Module) This returns the index of the column that is being edited (i.e. the user has double-clicked on an attribute column). If no column is being edited then this perm returns -1. ------------------------- Tony Goodman http://www.smartdxl.com Edited: 10-Oct-2007 at 09:09 by Tony Goodman |

Aye, that would probably work, however we're still evaluating DOORS 8.2, we're still on 8.1.
Thanks Tony, always a great help. ------------------------- Scott Boisvert Engineering Tools Administrator L-3 Communications - Avionics Systems scott.boisvert@l-3com.com |
