New performance feature “Asynchronized related dataloading in Tableview”:

To use asynchronized related dataloading in a form the form should use tableview instead of listview, tableview now tries to defer all related foundset data loading to the background

Changed tableview behaviour to support async. loading:
-the ‘header’ part normally occupied by the draggable column headers from the tableview is now only occupied if the ‘header’ part is not placed in the design mode. (important to make your own table header and prevent the default placed)
-the table header does not fill the available Form space if the horizontal scrollbar is present

How many enhancements !!!. Thank you Servoy !

Oi, it downright zips along! Who hired the extra hamsters? :)

GREAT JOB DONE!!!

I already implemented/used some of the great new enhancements and…

The bonus here is the ‘normal’ apple look and feel again. No more faulty positioned menu’s and no more key mixture on other applications!!!

Well done…

I noticed something while starting up! An animation… :o Can we change this into our own?

Thank you Servoy for your work and ciao,

Marcel

Suggestion..

While working with multiple installs of Servoy it would be nice if you would identify your downloads with their version number. Naming all of your downloads simply “servoy_installer_windows.exe” isn’t exactly user friendly.

I’m running 4 copies of Servoy for testing purposes. After each new install I rename the folder to the release. So a folder named ServoyRC5 replaces Servoy.

GREAT TIP: If you are learning Servoy and you want to learn how something was done in the CRM solution but you also want to work on your own solution, then open two copies of Servoy! Yes, because a Java application creates it’s own space in memory you can simply copy/paste the Servoy folder, while in Windows, and then you can launch two instances of the application. Just make sure and don’t open the same solution in both copies on the same machine. This is great for learning while developing.
