Minor cosmetic correction

FYI:
If you drop a combo box and select the PopulationType as Business Object and then you click on PopulationDataSource, you get a dialog Box, to enter your BO and methods and etc. In that Dialog box, The "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons are partially chopped off from the bottom.

Agreed...it is always better to ask and make sure! :)

Thanks Trent;
So far it has not stopped me of going forward, and it's not a big deal for me. Just thought it's best to report them!

StrataFrame will definitely run on Windows 2000. The problem you are running into is a designer form issue with 2000 apperently. Obviously StrataFrame was designed to operate in an XP environment moreover a 2000 environment. However, this does not prevent you from developing on the 2000 platform. Distribution of your products will not have any effect as this would be your forms that would support them running on 2000.

As for us making changes, more than likely the designer forms will remain as they are as long as StrataFrame users can at least function on a Windows 2000 machine at design-time.

[quote][b]Ben Chase (03/20/2007)[/b][hr]Ah, with Windows 2000, I can see how the themes might be off... the Parent Relationship Editor's height is dynamically set as the fields are added/removed, and the title bar without windows themes is less than the title bar with XP themes.[/quote]

The buttons get overlaid in the middle of the screen, on the top of other components.

Does this mean the minimum system is XP for SF? or could future version of SF solve this problems?
Thanks!

Ben, No Vista. I'm running Windows 2000 r on this notebook (IBM Thankpad).

As I'm following the tutorials, just ran into another screen that shows strange. And that is "Parent-child editor".

Can I send you a pic of the screen shot to your email? If yes, would you like to PM me your email?

Thanks!

Are you running Windows Vista on your laptop? It is possible that some buttons might have shifted when run under Windows Vista...

Trent, I just checked my notebook and it's set at 96DPI (small fonts). If I change it to large fonts (125DPI), I can see it affects everything. So I think on that dialog box, the two buttons are just positioned a bit low.

How do others see those two buttons? Just curious!

Oh, Ok. I noticed it on the ListView as well latter on. No big deal, just thought I report it.

This is because you are more than likely running your video resolution at a DPI greater than 96 DPI. This is common for laptops. Our design-time forms do not support the "auto-sizing" required to be able to swap between 96 DPI and 120 DPI without "chopping" off the buttons as you described.
