I have a question, which I have actually asked before, but figured I’d bring up again since there seems to be quite a lot of active development on Servoy 6 right now. I’ve always found the XY layout manager very awkward for anything except for very trivial form designs, and was wondering if there is anything slated for supporting other layout managers in the future?
Most specifically I think that BorderLayout makes a lot of sense for smart-client form UI design.
Servoy 6 development is not very “active” anymore, in the sense that we’re basically wrapping it up for a planned final release in July (as announced at SW11 earlier this year). The feature set of 6 is frozen and when it comes to layout, besides the overhaul of the Form Editor itself, it does extend the layout facilities offered.
Future versions might extend the current layout facilities and when we do, we will look for extensions that work in both the Smart Client and Web Client.
