Hi Andrew, > First - A request to expose a method on he ComboBox and ListBox > controls that would reload the list contents without having to reload > the dataform control it is bound to.
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66628 This issue requests the respective UI, but this would automatically provide the API. (Basically, it's probably about implementing XLoadable or similar at the control model.) > Second - Addition of a calculated field control for forms. This is, I > suppose, more a feature request then an enhancement. As I write out my > thoughts on this it seems that a number of different components of the > application would need to be touched. Would I just enter this under > dbAccess or Framework or 'what' ? In general, I'd say put it into "Database Access". Though, as you said, it finally doesn't matter too much ... But DBA is where those controls are hosted/maintained. The more practical reason is the process how enhancements are brought into the product. One part is http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/workflowcharts/evaluating_RFEs.html, but waiting for this might be ... boring. In fact, project owners have a certain freedom in choosing/suggesting what they want to do, though they're usually not the alone owner of the development resources (we had this discussion here already, IIRC). Now when you assign such issues to DBA, then chances are higher that I, as the DBA project owner, will find them and decide to spend resources on them. If they're in some other project, chances are higher they slip my radar - and in this case they will probably be lost, since no other project has real interest in those.
