"View/Edit Window Scrolling & UDD Editing"

Jeff-

I have run into a couple of minor issues that I do not see referenced on the forums:

1) The View/Edit dialog does not scroll horizontally, so columns to the right of the viewable window are not accessible.  Seems a horizontal scroll bar should appear when the window width is smaller than the grid;

2) When I update the abbreviated name of a "Yes/No" UDD the character string is not updated in any of the grid column headers.  The only way to update is to delete the UDD and recreate.  Of course this action deletes all assigned data.  This situation may apply to other data types as well - I will investigate.

Thanks,

Harris

Hi Harris,

1) The View/Edit window auto sizes all fields such that they fit within the width of the grid. I don't think you can ever have a situation where there are columns off the right. Can't say that I remember why we did it that way.

2) The updated abbreviation does get displayed in the View/Edit Grid. But, once you change the Abbr of the UDD, it will disappear from your grid. You just have to re-add it, because the grid remembered it by the old name. Only Yes/No UDDs display the abbrev name, others display the full name. Yes, removing a UDD will cause all the data it was storing to be removed.

fyi

You know what Harris - I agree with you. The problem is in trying to get the control to autosize to the user-selected width. I think, for me, that the solution is to just allow for horizontal scroll bars and let the width be bigger than the size of the window.

Thanks much for the input.
