------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 24 11:28:49 +0000 2008 ------- Currently, when you open a complex report design, chances are pretty good you have a high number of text boxes, all bound to some data content, such as a field of the table/query which the report is bound to, or a formula or function. However, you have no chance to quickly see, in the design itself, which data content the text boxes are bound to. You can either guess this (for instance from the labels positioned near the text boxes), or you can select each and every text box, to display their properties in the property browser. It would be very useful if in the report design, the text boxes would simply display the content they're bound to. For instance, if a box is bound to the table field "City", it should display "=[City]" (or "City"). If it is bound to a formula, it should display "=<formula>", and similar for functions. This display should be in some light gray color, to be unobtrusive. (We need to find the best color for this, I could imagine something like the color currently used for the section deviders.) Also, the color should of course be configurable in Tools/Options/Appearance, as are all other SRB-related colors. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
