I like the concept of full screen editing using the .dbEditGridUpdate command.
Will it be possible in the future to allow the use of a custom template for the edit page? I was hoping I could use this feature to prevent users from having to scroll right when they edit records (this has to be their biggest complaint). I had to build my own template to try and minimize the scrolling and if I could have the template on a seperate page it would be fantastic.
I see a need to accomodate larger records with numerous fields, the examples are great, but are always based on very little data being shown, but in real applications there is often a need to display and edit numerous related fields and it is always a challenge to try and make everything fit on a small user screen.
Are you referring toa GRID edit tmeplat eor just NORMAL editing template? Ther eis an edit template property.
can you send me a sample of the screen template for "GRID" edit template. A SS style is always in "row" form. How to perform grid editing w/o a grid format ?
I've attached a screen print of the template, I use the dbUserAddTemplate property to display the add template and I have an other one for the update template using the dbUserUpdateTemplate property. What I would like to see is a way to force the template onto another page to prevent scrolling.
I,m using a grid mode, putting the template below the grid would help but I would prefer on a seperate page, I have many "old" users that insist on using an 800 by 600, this would eliminate left to right scrolling.
