My users like the infobox, they want a list of all broken rules displayed in addition to the filed arrow indicatiors. I know how to list them all using the collection, and the Infobox seemed like a good place to put them , is there a way to control the size of the Infobox? I cant find it. I need to stretch it as the number of broken rules grows.

Interesting! And you are right - I would have asked but you haven't got off that easy

Do you have an approximate timescale on when the MDI control would be available (even if an early beta)?

For anyone wanting to convert to the MDI format in the future, do you expect it to be a copy and paste of the fields to convert an existing dialog into the MDI control?

Very interesting indeed!

Honestly it would be hard for me to give you an exact time frame.  This is a totally different type of interface, which has been working very well, but we will need to make it more "flexible" before it could be an SF control.

The difference here is that instead of using forms, you use User Controls basically.  We have a BasePage that has all of the same functionality as the BaseForm.  So it isn't that hard of a move, you would be able to move your controls, code, etc. over from a dialog to an inherited BasePage.  But like anything else, when you make a drastic change to the UI there is always a little elbow grease that has to go into it.

But this is something that we plan to offer in the future...standard dialog MDI interface (current logic) or our folder based MDI.  This is why having our own large-scale commercial application is so good for SF....we go through the fire first

Sounds good. Look forward to seeing it.
