Great to hear, thanks. > The wizard itself is somewhat "compressed" on my screen, for example the > listbox with the fields to select only shows 2 letters. On mine, it shows about 4 characters ... funny thing is, when testing with the same table repeatedly, and focusing on other things ... I really never noticed that. There certainly is room to display that better. > It seems like designer has some separate display routines to show the > current design of the form.

Correct. I have not yet thoroughly thought through what I think would be the better approach. Designer and Forms are doing slightly different things when displaying a form: * Forms must provide a functional form, but has no interest in modifying the form definition; * Designer would like to update form definitions (add fields, reorder things, maybe change sizing, ...), but does not necessarily need to embed a functional form (although if not substantially more difficult, might in fact be a neat feature). /Randall _______________________________________________ gnue-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnue-dev
