[new] make saving of a single record possible through databaseManager.saveData(…) during autosave disabled, it’s possible to save a specific record
[new] databaseManager.nullColumnValidatorEnabled = false or true (disabeld/enabled the default null check, null check could influence business logic in an unwanted way while autosave is disabled)
[new] anchoring works in web client as seen in smart client
[enh] added ‘Show Form Designer’ pop-up menu to the javascript editor
[enh] case 151921: developer 4 sometimes starts too fast while the database is still initializing. we added a property “waitForNativeStartup” if set to true it will wait for the native startup process to finish execution before continuing to start developer

Known issues
non-editable date field can be changed via calendar
Eh, is it me or does the table editor no longer give us the ability to access the Details/Auto-Enter/Validation/Conversion tab when selecting a column.
Up to version 4.1b2 the column table grid came halfway the tab panel and showed the aforementioned tab panel when a row was selected. Now the table grid fills the whole tab.
Makes it very hard to set db sequence names for instance.

It works for me. Can you show us the classical first three lines from the smart client Help->About dialog on your machine?
[new] anchoring works in web client as seen in smart client
Can you explain, what works? I tried a simple label with an background image (reduce & enlarge) but that does not work in webclient!
I tried with fields in tableviews etc… but also not working.

Robert,
Clicking on a column in the table should make the tabs visible.

oke, I have created 3 cases, with all kind of issues I have with anchoring in webclient.

Seems the label does anchor correctly but the image doesn’t resize. Just add a border around it and you see what happens.
Also in my brief testing I’ve noticed that using a header or title header form part wreak havoc in the layout of the header objects. They suddenly are anchored from their position to the bottom of the window (even without having any anchors set ).
Again you can witness this behavior by setting the border property (to Line for instance).
Fields do anchor correctly in record view but they don’t in table view. But they don’t anchor in table view for me in Rich client either (Mac OS X).
I can’t reproduce the problem with table editor on mac. When I select a column the tabs show up all the time. Can you give some more details about this problem ?
I reinstalled 4.1b3 again in a separate directory but using the same workspace and I get the same result.
Then I reinstalled 4.1b3 again in a separate directory but now using a new workspace and see the same thing BUT now resizing doesn’t help. So it actually goes from bad to worse
Tried the last thing twice with the same result.
This is what I do:
install 4.1b3 in a new directory using a new workspace
open developer
create a new server connection, save it
restart developer
select server connection and double click a table to open the table editor.
grid already uses the whole view which is different from 4.1b2 and below
Okay I am stupid. I need to view the table in the context of a solution. When I do that then the resize does work.
So the steps are this:
install 4.1b3 in a new directory using a new workspace
open developer
create a new server connection, save it
restart developer
create a solution and a new form using a table of the server connection
jump to the table editor using the form property ‘table’
grid already uses the whole view which is different from 4.1b2 and below
select column and nothing happens.
resize the view and the grid resizes and tabpanel appears
Still could not reproduce this issue. Please add a case and we will further investigate it. The only case when a column is selected and tabs should be invisible is when the column has no column info.
I found another thing. When I have the Eclipse window small (default window size) so that the table editor will get scroll bars when the tab panel shows then it works as advertised. Select then column and the tab panel shows.
But I use a 23" screen and maximize Eclipse to use all of that and the tab panel doesn’t show when I select a column. It does only when I resize the table editor view.
So perhaps you use a smaller resolution screen and that’s the reason you can’t reproduce it ?
Try maximizing the view and then select a column.

This is fixed now and will be included in Servoy 4.1.0 b4.
new make saving of a single record possible through databaseManager.saveData(…) during autosave disabled, it’s possible to save a specific record[
Can you give an example of the syntax to save a single record? I can’t seem to figure out what to pass into databaseManager.saveData(???)
Also,
What do you do if you need to cancel out of a record while another record may be saved?
For instance I have a form for work orders that when opened I set autosave to false. While the user is looking at a work order, they can assign a customer to that work order. If they need to add a new customer I want to be able to pop open a new window and save that new customer, then they can continue on with the work order. So being able to save a single record will be useful, but what happens if they decide after they started a new customer they want to cancel that without it canceling the work order? Can you rollback a single record also?
