I love how Ashesh's memory of pgAdmin's commits goes back over 5 years :-) In any case, he's right. As I recall, you get some really weird behaviour with auto-complete, which is less desirable than being able to type. It's worth playing again though - the behaviour of wxWidgets might have changed enough since I last tried to fix it. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgadmin-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-hackers
