A couple of minor requests

Ben Hayat — Wed, 02 May 2007 15:33:08 GMT

If you could please consider the followings when editing/adding table columns

a) In data type size, could you allow to delete the zero with keyboard "delete" key, rather trying to grab it with mouse and delete it? I also noticed a bug too. By default it shows 10 for VarChar, but I need to put 40 in there. Since it doesn't let me delete the 1 and zero, I typed 40, which became 4010. But now, it won't allow me to delete the last 1 and zero. It keeps going to 4010.

b) For the "Save" button, could you allow CTRL+S to save?

Thanks!

Yeah, I was the same way, my parents raised me to say sir, and I still say "sir" on the end of just about everything. My wife doesn't like it when I say "ma'am" when I'm talking to her, and it took about 3 years to get to where I can carry on a conversation with her and not say "ma'am."

[quote][b]"Thank you, sir."[/b][/quote]

That, brings up an embracing memory, but you guys have to promise me not to make fun of me.

I was always taught by my parent to say "Thank You Sir", and had become my second nature to say that.

Well, in my teens, when I received my first (and best) kiss from this girl, I turned around and said,... "Thank you Sir", and before you know I got a slap on the face for saying "Thank You Sir". Since then I always think about it twice :P

At the rate that the guys from the south are jumping the border, yes, it will be gracias soon enough... Until then, it's probably going to stay "Thank you, sir." And don't forget the "sir" ;) Or just "thanks."

Hey Keith, we need you in this class. We are going to have food and everything. Bob, told me you are busy. Have you tried begging? :)

Texas lingo 101

"I'm going to do it" = "Fixin to"
To destroy, delete, or otherwise obliterate = "smoke it"

thats all I remember from August :)

One little change to this:
Keep the current "Save" button as is, except the caption should say "Save & Close".
Then add another one that just says "Save" and this should have the CTRL+S keyboard shortcut to save [b]BUT[/b] not close the form. This way, we can frequently save without exiting the form.

Thanks!

p.s., BTW, how do you guys say "Thanks" in TX? :) I figure if I learn the local language, that might give me a leverage! LOL...:D

I leave it up to your judgment! Thanks for the extra info.

Just FYI, this is default NumericUpDown functionality. There is little we can do on this point. We may change the control type altogether, but until this is done this functionality will remain.
