People forget that speed and latency are not related. Solving latency on
networked apps is tricky.

Have you tried revPrintField? It's an oldie but goodie.

Maybe I don’t understand your idea but I do think you have kind of the same
using a group. If you design your group or your ”panel” you still need to place
your controls. If you move a group you also move the controls within that
group. You can also grab individual controls in a group if you cl
If you want the tab stops to be included in the file I guess you need to add
them manually to the rtf file. There is a \tx command in rtf that sets the tab
size. I used it long time ago so I don’t remember of it was relative or absolut
positions but I do think it should be doable…

Hi all,
I am looking at the git repositories, the widget documentation etc.,

For example, if I wanted to add low level support for another open source

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the pointer. I will look that up this weekend.
The database I am looking at is called firebird (www.firebirdsql.com).
It has embedded and standalone libs. Supports windows, linux, osx and ios
along with android.
It is opensource and has native support for c++, c, pascal, .n
Hakan mentioned this but you may have missed it. You can definitely move
controls around inside a group without breaking it apart or going into Edit
Group mode. On the toolbar there's an icon called Select Grouped. Toggling
that allows you to select the whole group (as you're doing now) or selec

ok,
In order to explain what I need the utility for, is as a front end to a
highly normalized warehouse Temporal Graph database.
That probably means nothing to you, but, lets assume it does for the time
being.
For a simple example, lets say we are dealing with addresses, 2.6 billion
addresses, al
This is a very interesting description of a graph database application.
But how does it relate to having a stack viewable within another stack?

What would be the best strategy for dragging objects in and out of groups?
If anyone has a stack that demonstrate that it would be nice

Folks:
I’m just diving into debugging my iPhone app after a long hiatus. I have iOS

following error message in Xcode:

Use 10.1 for building iOS apps and run 10.2 to access the devices window. If
you have both versions then use 10.1 in the LC prefs. From the

Hi Mark,
If I remember correctly, wasn't that DB-Layer rewrite promed back in
