Tim,

we spoke about that before - I'd like to change the default behaviour of
EDB-manager in order to open a table by double-clicking the treeview-item.

It seems that it needs a deep look into the source code to find the
place where a table is opened. Can you give me a hint?

As Tim knows that would be my preferred behaviour.

main.pas

Override this method for the TBaseTableObject class:

        function GetOpenOnExpand: Boolean;

and inside of the new overriden method, set the Result to True.  That will
cause any table or view objects to open whenever the treeview node for them
is expanded (double-clicked).

Tim,

I'll go to do it now! IMHO I think you would put this feature in the edbmgr options or make it permanent, due its popularity.

BTW What about closing all windows in edbmgr with Ctrl+F4, not just the code ones?

Thanks.

Thanks, that works - except that the pageindex of the pagecontrol
doesn't change accordingly.

Maybe you can offer this function as an option in the next build? I know
some people who would appreciate that very much.

Hmmm, it should.  It changes the ActivePage property of the main page
control and sets the active control to the table grid.

I'll see what I can do.

It's on the list, but I'll see what I can do for the next build.
