Hi,

I have 3 related tables which I would like to be able to show in a single SF Maintenance Form, I also would like to use a tree control to show all the data (pretty much like MS Outlook).

Is there a SF class that would help me out get this form started?  also how would I handle the data manipulation (adding, edit, delete) of the children records for the other two tables, since the main one will be handle by the ToolStrip control.

Thanks!

As for a child BO, we will generally create a ThemedToolStrip with a custom Add/Edit/Delete button on it and manually manage the enabled states of the buttons and manually call the Add on the child BOs.

Hi Trent,

For this very reason is that I would like to see a class to handle this kind of situation, so this way if I have several form, with several child BOs, I could simply drop as many instances of this ToolStrip class and set it to the BO I would like to have the Add/Edit/Save/Undo buttons, instead of me adding this repetitive code everytime in every project.  Productivity for developers Hehe

In Visual FoxPro, I would simply create a subclass of the MFTS and add it to  my needs, but right now, I don't have all that experience in .NET and since I am learning with SF, then I would simply try to get as many new productivity features I may miss, included in the framework via the Enhancement Request forum.

P.S.

With Ben suggestion I was able to have the toolstrip working the way I want it for the BO, even though I am learning by doing it manually, for other forms/projects I rather have a class to drop and set some properties to make it work.w00t
