Hi,
It would be very nice if we could set our own defaults for the following items in Developer:
-
the 4 checkboxes in the Specify Fields dialog when adding new fields to a form. I find myself always having to check the “Fill Name/Text Property”. (I did notice that once checked, the checks stay active untill you switch solution/restart Developer)
-
Per solution, the Controller that is automatically set as controller for new forms, instead of the default controller
-
the Method (or None) for all types of methods that now automatically get “Default” when creating a new form
Also, it would be nice to be able to set two flag. The first flag would mean that when creating a new form, automatically a Form onLoad Method is created and the second flag for automatically creating a Form onShow method when creating a new form.
Another thing that would improve productivity would be that if you add a new element to a form, the new element is placed in the middle of the part of the form that is shown on the screen. Currently, the element is placed in the upper left corner of the form and when I’m working on the lower right corner of the form, I first have to scroll up and left to select and drag the new element to it’s proper position.
Regarding the Property Editor: Currently, the top of the Editor takes up space from the menubars, while on the bottom of the Property Editor there is empty space, because (as far as I saw) there are never enough properties on an elements to make the Editor full. Would it be possible that the Editor only starts under the MenuBars, so I can utilize all the menubar space for manubars, thus creating more space to show forms?
Just my 5 cents about improving the usability…

PS: For which release are customizable menubars on the planning? In my solutions I do not want the users to use the standard “New Record” etc functions, so it would be nice if I could take them out of the menu…
