Hi Guys,

Like many of you, I have stopped using output forms to display selections of 
records, using listboxes  in stead.

But lately, I have started to use them again. 

Why, you might ask.

Well, quite a number of customers are using laptop/tablet devices. More often 
than not, they will use the touch screen in stead of the mouse.
In this case, the standard height of the listbox rows is to small to 
comfortable select, or double-tab, a single  row.
Another example is on the work floor: touch screen are used to process there 
actions.

I could double or triple the row height, but still, I will not be able to 
design the output like I would design an output form, especially if I also want 
some graphics in it.

The possibilities with output forms are far more flexible. I can put whatever I 
like in the form.

But this brings me to this question: Will output forms keep being supported by 
4D?

What if I switch to ORDA? From what I see, output forms will not work with 
ORDA. (Anybody from 4D: what is 4D’s view on this?)

What is this community’s preference?
