Hi,
I think i do not fully understand how the Laf thing works.
As an example the following case :
I have a form that has a combobox and a textfield on top of each other and the field on top is transparent.
Why i do this is a longer story, it has to do with actual / old values.
Even if the combobox does not show a value (because it is old and not in the valuelist in edit mode) the textfield always shows a value.
If they both show a value, it is the same value.
Both fields are placed so that they overlap exactly. So the user does not see if both fields have a value or only one.
This works fine on Windows Xp. But when i run the solution at a w2003 server or on Linux the fields are no longer
exactly on top of each other. The user sees two (same) values with a different x position.
I think that this is caused by the Laf, which is Windows Classic on W2003 and some other on Linux.
I thought it would be possible to set the Laf to “Windows” on the server and that all clients that connect to that
server would automatically use the Windows laf and that it would make no difference if a user is on Xp, W2003 or Linux the
“Windows” Laf would always be used by that smartclient.
But it seems that this is not the case.
Can anyone explain this ?? or is there some documentation ?
Regards,
