By the way, based on my posts on other support forums, I am not used to quick responses - you are too fast for me

LOL...glad we are exceeding expectations! BigGrin

We already have the Infragistics controls so I am relieved to hear that.

By the way, based on my posts on other support forums, I am not used to quick responses - you are too fast for me Smile

Thanks for the information and quick replies.

To use localization with a third party control, for example a caption, I assume I simply code a call to your localization methods and manually set the caption with the string your code returns?

You can add native support by implementing the ILocalizable interface...or just set the captions like you mentioned using the RetrieveTextValue method:

MyControl.Text = MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Localization.RetrieveTextValue("MyKey")

If so, what does your Infragistics wrapper add that I wouldn't get by using the Infragistics control itself? Also, where can I actually find the Infragistics wrapper?

Native SF data binding without the need for using the Business Binding SOurce....and faster performance.  Native .NET data-binding is slightly slower...so you would notice this on forms with a lot of controls.

The Infragistics wrapper gets installed with everything else.  It is called MicroFour StrataFrame Infragistics WRapper.dll.  We will automatically create the toolbox items through the StrataFrame-Create Toolbox Tabs item in the menu.  Just install Infragistics and you will be able to use the wrapper.

On a separate note, I see more references to DevExpress than Infragistics in the forums. Is DevExpress a better match for SF?

We actaully use Infragistics ourselves...and I am pretty confident that I see more people using Infragistics than DevExpress.  The forum posts on DevExpress usually deal more with their grid...which behaves somewhat differently than all other grids that I have dealth with...though it is still a good grid and DevExpress has good controls.  This choice is totally up to you Smile

-- As for the localization, we support that as well.  You can use our localization with any 3rd party control.

To use localization with a third party control, for example a caption, I assume I simply code a call to your localization methods and manually set the caption with the string your code returns?

The way you have described third party controls makes me think there is no real need for a wrapper. If so, what does your Infragistics wrapper add that I wouldn't get by using the Infragistics control itself? Also, where can I actually find the Infragistics wrapper?

On a separate note, I see more references to DevExpress than Infragistics in the forums. Is DevExpress a better match for SF?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

P.S. I hate being a newbie again Smile

Does the wrapper support SF security and localisation or will I lose those?

Yup.  It supports both.  There are some differences, but the security is implements at the BO field level, so it really doesn't matter what you are binding to.  As for the localization, we support that as well.  You can use our localization with any 3rd party control.

If so, which grid (if any) does support both as I don't believe you have a SF grid control?

You can use whichever grid that you want.  If you implement the logic within the BO then you will not have any issues.

Hi,

I understand you use the UltraGrid and there is an Infragistics wrapper - although I haven't found it yet Smile.

Does the wrapper support SF security and localisation or will I lose those? If so, which grid (if any) does support both as I don't believe you have a SF grid control?

Thanks in advance,

Aaron
