Good day, While investigating Formspider as alternative development tool I was notified of the new release 1.6 with the infinite scroll functionality. Curiously I started your demo application which is working more or less fine but I noticed some issues. 1. Scrolling with the scroll bar does not set the focus anew. The focus stays on the record where you started scrolling.
Furthermore I noticed that running tutorial 56 will not display the familiar multi tab structure demo, design xml, action code and datasource query. The “Leave a comment” and “Go to comments” links of the tutorial seem not to function… Despite my critical notes above I want to stress that Formspider seems to be a marvelous tool, with still some raw edges, even without having any practical experience in developing with Formspider up to now due to lack of time. Compared with the multitude of development tools I used such as IAP/IAG (Oracle release 2), all flavors of Forms, Headstart, Apex and several 3rd party products Formspider looks more promising as well in simplicity of design, speed of development and functionality offered. I look forward to some real development experience in the nearby future. Keep up your fantastic work! Best regards John van Alphen |
Hi John, Thank you very much for your kind words and great feedback. Let me go over them real quick: 1-5: I created a ticket in our issue tracking system for these. In hindsight, the way we used these buttons (PG UP,PG DN, CTRL etc...) seems silly. There are probably historical reasons for this behavior but at this point they don't matter. We'll talk to our customers to ensure backwards compatibility if needed (I doubt it though), and fix these issues. 6: Button Create Row does not give any visual effect… It would give a visual effect, if we set the the newly created row as the current row after creating it. So this is an application issue not a product issue.
We truly appreciate your feedback and looking forward to hearing more from you. Kind Regards Oh and finally regarding the comment: "Scrolling with the scroll bar does not set the focus anew. The focus stays on the record where you started scrolling." That's by design. Scrolling does not change the current row in the Grid.
