Hi Luca,

It works.

Thanks.

Hi Luca,

Sample application attached.

Nic

Hi Nic,

1- it has been like this, it’s in the themes. if you look at the /button/states/hovered/properties you’ll see the “cursor” setting. there is no cursor setting for /button/states/disabled/properties/cursor. Will add to all themes.

2- I can’t reproduce this issue. Tried with material-3 as well. Do you enable the button in the Load event? I tried starting with disable and enabled and flipping in the Load event, and on clicks. Let me know if you can share a reproducible sample.

Best,

Luca

So I’ve finally been able to remove the old install only to find I’m back at the same issue:

Hi Frank

I will look at putting a demo together. It however is just built using the VWG DGV Cell Panel concept, which was put in place to allow a DGV to contain any type of column such as dates and custom combo boxes such as multicolumn / tree view drop down variants.

Does your existing grid allow you to have such columns as listed above? (I have yet to get started with the beta so my apologies here)

Regards

Ewan

Hi Ewan,

thanks for your detailed input about this functionality.

Would it be possible for you to wrap up a small VWG test case for us as well ?

Best regards
Frank

Forgot to say that I link the grid columns to the panel controls by making sure they are named so that the control name can be used to access the relevant grid column. eg dtEvidence is a date picker which will pass values to the grid column Evidence.

Hope this helps

Hi

The approach I use is as follows:

1. Define a grid in the usual way with one column for each field and an extra column to hold the panel column. (User Control)
2. Define an empty panel that can be used as the base for any panel or user control you subsequently define. This empty control needs to have an inheritable changed event.
3. Hide all the columns apart from the panel column.
4. Use the grid format event to populate the controls on the panel with the hidden column values. Note the controls on the panel are NOT bound to the data source.
5. When the user changes control values within the panel the changed event feeds the values back to the relevant hidden column in the grid.
6. I use the Data Grid View header click event to trigger saving the row data.
7. I use the Data Grid View header double click event to trigger cancel updates or to request row deletion.

With VWG you also have to use a panel cell to incorporate certain controls such as a date picker into the grid. This is much simpler to implement as you are just dealing with a single control which in this case is a data bound column.

Hope this helps

I always liked that control in Access. Many years ago I developed something similar for Gupta SQLWindows and published it on their magazine at the time. It was called Super Flexible Table Window… July 1997 Page 9

Anyway, I didn’t know that VWG had a panel cell. We already have the infrastracture to use user controls as cells and as editors but it’s not exposed yet and it’s not a DGV cell class.

I’m thinking that we are probably looking at a new dedicated component along the lines of an ASPNET repeater. Maybe a RepeaterPanel with methods, properties and events that are specific for this functionality. We may be able to add a virtual option to reuse a single instance of the panel class when turned on.

In fewer words: no we don’t have it now but will add the custom panel cell and a new RepeaterPanel component to the list. If you can share some insights on the databinding or other features that are useful it’s appreciated.

Best,

Luca

Hi Luca,

Got it.

Thanks.

We can certainly have server installers, auto updaters, etc. once we release, or very close to it. The server installer will have to register the assemblies with tha GAC.

However, for server deployments if the wisej assemblies are deployed with the app and not in the GAC they cannot be updated with an installer that is not specific for your app.

Also, because of the way wisej interacts with the client and the server, it will also be relatively easy to implement on open source monitoring app that allows an ISV to manage servers on an intranet and all wisej apps from a central location.

Best,

Luca

Thanks luca for detailed reply. I understand that server must connected once for installation but what about regular patches issued. How these patches can be downloaded and implement on server without connectivity. I suggest there should have some offline installation process which is normally available to every development tool. Hope you will consider it.

Thanks.

Just some more info. It looks like whatever went wrong has broken the 1.2.10 install I had on my machine as this now cannot be uninstalled. modified or repaired.  Other programs can be installed / uninstalled without issue.

I’m trying to work out if I can forcibly uninstall the current 1.2.10 package.

Nic

Sorry should have mentioned that I also tried that.  I rebooted, cleared my browser cache, downloaded a fresh .exe and let it run. It downloaded the .MSI and then nothing.  I should probably also have mentioned that this is my Windows 7 machine.

Maybe the exe needs to be uodated too? http://demo.wisej.com/wisej.exe

I can’t reproduce  Will ask other devs to ty the fresh download too

Hi Luca,

I’ve tried again but now I see the .MSI being downloaded and then nothing happens. I don’t see any error messages or other prompts. I’ve rebooted my machine and tried again but still no joy.
