Width Of Controls In Database System Utility |

Gregory Sebastian | DBISam Database System Utility V4
Hi Tim, Could you please consider increasing the width of all controls that display the DB path. The width looks like it was designed for use Pre Windows XP days when databases typically would be placed with the executable or 2-3 folders below the root drive eg C:\DeveloperName\DatabaseName\TableName With XP, Vista & Win 7 however, the db would now typically be deployed in : C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\DeveloperName\ProgramName\DatabaseName\TableName C:\Users\Public\Documents\DeveloperName\ProgramName\Data\DatabaseName\TableName The width of all controls in the Database Sys Utility fall way short of displaying the full path and its quite frustrating not knowing exacly which database were working on or trying to select. The affected forms are : - Table Form : "Open Databases" Combo box at the top right and the "Current Database" at the status bar bottom right corner - SQL Form : Same as above - Select Table To Open Form : (Menu option File | Open) - Select Database To Query Form (Menu option File | New SQL Query) Could you pls. try to find a way to accomodate the full path. Or if theres really not enough room, maybe show a pop up hint of the full path when we move the mouse over. Thanks Tim. Regards Gregory Sebastian EzySoft Developments www.ezysoft-dev.com |

I'm still considering moving DBISAM to using a more modern interface for the utilities, but I'll work this in if I don't go ahead with that.' -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Gregory Sebastian | Hi Tim,
<<but I'll work this in if I don't go ahead with that.'>> Thats great, look forward to this build. <<I'm still considering moving DBISAM to using a more modern interface >> Other than the width of all controls displaying the DB Path, the current interface still works well for me. A new facelift for me is just good to have but not really that pressing if you have other priorities . Regards Gregory Sebastian EzySoft Developments www.ezysoft-dev.com |
