Selecting field types in EDB Manager |
Sat, Jul 3 2010 2:35 AM | Permanent Link |
Richard ENT Technologies | Is it possible to have radio buttons to select to most common field types? I find it time consuming to have to select from a large number of field types in a drop down list, especially if I'm creating a table with 50 plus fields.
It would be nice to have radio buttons for field types like Integer, VarChar, Boolean, Float, Date and CLOB. Those are the fields I use 95% of the time. |

The technique (only works after you've got some there) I use is click on one of the existing fields which gives me the info and modify the name. Roy Lambert [Team Elevate] |

The TMS ComboBox (I think) has a MRU section at the top - separated out by a line. You could have an option to store the most used types and load those at the top of the combobox with all the types below. Roy Lambert |

Richard ENT Technologies | Hi Tim,
Maybe it could be on a hidden panel, so people like me could switch it on and use it without affecting anybody else. On my screen at least, there is plenty of room, so I don't think a few radio buttons would increase the screen real estate requirements by very much. |

Richard ENT Technologies | An alternative could be to somehow make the drop down list configurable. so I could place the types I use most at the top of the list.

> An alternative could be to somehow make the drop down list configurable. so I could place the types I use most at the top of the list. That was my first thought: just to store the values of the combo in the ..ini. So everybody can edit the ini-file and have his preferred values. @Tim: But don't forget the "Restore default values" button. Uli |

However, I'll have to double-check and make sure that the keystrokes still work okay. Sometimes the combo boxes get weird when the list isn't sorted properly. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
