Using Xbrowse every day and changing colums (mostly view setting) I think that xbrowse would benifid with folowing enhancements

I know and have implemented these options sometimes myselt, but Xbrowse class enhanced would be more efficient i think

In xbrowse we use the RowNo (upper left) to show the rows etc that can be clicked to see all colums.

For hiding/see a colums now we have to click for every change the browse and repeat this...

My suggestion is that we can mark/unmark ALL at once and then change the browwse.

Also a save/open button can be implemented in the popup in order to recall settings of xbrowse.

Will you please explain more clearly?

On the left we see standart xbrowse popup of the columns when we rightclick the RowNo in the left upper corner of Xbrowse
If we want to hide a column we click on it and the browse is update and the popup is gone. For the next column to hide we right click again etc...

It would be nice if we could click (select) all columns that we want to hide in one action. The right browse has a function (from you) that is doing just that.

The extra save/restore button would also be a great thing....

To explane way : I use Xbrowse and xbrowser a lot in order to create final browsers and even as a quick DBU. I ofthen delete colums in order to see more others or have a better view. Therefore the save/restore state would be nice in the popup.

Mr. Rao : it is just a idea that speeds up develloping browser screens on the fly... There are functions already in the forum from you, but how easy would it be if they are in the source of xbrowse AND xbrowser...

I made it many years ago (2014) but it no one seems to like it

release for a oldest xbrowse

FW-Team, maybe this can be inserted in the official FW ?

I want to clarify that the idea was mine the first implementation of the code was mine as you can see
on this topic http://forums.fivetechsupport.com/viewt ... ls#p184070

and that the final implementation of the code was created by FranciscoA

Francisco J. Alegría P.
Chinandega, Nicaragua.

on this topic there is also a suggestion of Nages

this is the final test ( with Implementation on the xbrowse )

Code: Select all

//----------------------//  con xbrowse modificado method setcolumns()
