How can I make the font sizes on the browse dialog control bigger?

Also is there a way to set focus to the results listview when a result set is returned?

Thanks.

No.  I will look and see what the fallout would be to expose this.

Also is there a way to set focus to the results listview when a result set is returned?

After all of the functionality that we have added to this control lately what is one more property...I will see if I can get it in before the next update.

Thanks Trent. I am programming for a group used to heads down green screen data entry, the mere thought of a mouse makes them nervous so being able to set the focus to the result set, arrow up and down to select the right records, then hit enter is a big thing for them since we are using the BD a lot in this app.

Also their older, they simple are having trouble seeing the dialog screen data.

Also, is is possible for an Information panel to contain bound, editable fields or is that shoving a square peg in a round hole?

Again this stems from hopping around screen making these users uncomfortable, they said that if the Info panel data was editable it would be perfect in what I have shown them so far.

Thanks again.

Technically, yes.  You would probably want to create a user control that is dropped on the InformationPanel since you can setup an SF user control to do all of the binding like in a form.  When the RowChanged event fires, then you can load the record into the BO on the user control (I think this would be easier than trying to use a translation) through the CopyDataFrom method on the BO....but it is up to you to take care of the Saves since this is not intrinsic logic.

Did these items make it into 1.6.5? or will they?

1) drowsedialog items font size override
2) Ability to have the results listbox get focus either via tab or code.

I got asked about the font size thing the other day again is why I ask.

Thanks.

This is still on my "to look at list" to see what all of the implications will be.  So the verdict is still out on this one.

2) Ability to have the results listbox get focus either via tab or code.

Actually I added a property to the BrowseDialog called SetFocusToResultsAfterSearch practially the same day that you asked for this.  it is presently in the 1.6.5 beta.

Keith,

One other question...what elements are they complaining about?  The labels, textboxes, etc?  Does this include the results list?

ahh thanks for that property I didn't see it.

They would like to be able to make everything bigger on that screen, so I will take what I can get

I have the rest of their screens all using 10pt, the default is 8.25.
