hi, we had a problem regarding DataControl. someone wanted to display multi-line text from a database using controls from gb.db.form (for simplicity). but DataControl is only a single-line textbox, no worwrap no multiple lines. i just want to ask if this is already considered a problem and if there will be something like a DataControl based on TextArea.
i think, it would be more useful to have a basic DataControl, just to associate the object with a field from DataSource's table, and have a control associated to this DataControl to display the value with an event to fill it, like this: DataControl.Control = TextArea1 Public Sub DataControl_SetValue(vValue As Variant) 'called whenever the datacontrol has to change its contents Last.Control.Text = CStr(vValue) End or another property (in DataControl) for the property of the control to insert the value into, like: DataControl.Control = TextArea1 DataControl.ControlProperty = "Text" whenever the contents of the datacontrol have to be changed this may be done internally: Object.SetProperty(Me.Control, Me.ControlProperty, Value) just an idea while writing this, haven't thought deeply. this would mean more code for the programmer but also more control. it would be possible this way to build a spinbox or something into a datacontrol: DataControl.Control = SpinBox1 DataControl.ControlProperty = "Value" regards, tobi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2dcopy2 _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
