Servoy 2.1.1 beta1

[Jan Aleman]

We announce the immediate availability of Servoy 2.1.1 beta 1

NOTE: this is BETA SOFTWARE, use with caution and make BACKUPS before you start.

Install in a separate directory, not in your default 2.1 Servoy directory (so you can easily move back to your production version). Before launching it make sure Sybase is not running to avoid connecting to your production repository. If you do not know how to stop Sybase restart your machine.

This version can be downloaded in the beta section of downloads at http://developer.servoy.com

Are there any changes in the developer manual compared to version 2.1-final wich reside in the 'docs' of the Servoy directory or can we copy them from the 2.1-final version?

"[enh]-added dbtreeview bean, import example solution BookStudy (with sample data) for demo of usage."

Is there source available for that bean? Because it can do call backs it is very relevant to my unanswered post at:

http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?t=3018

I also have a lot of tree strutured data (groups/products) etc and might need to modify/enhance it.

Press F1 while opening Servoy-help for the first time?
Sorry, but please explain

[Jan Aleman]

No, if you press F1 the help is opened.

In this version there are no changes in the documentation.

[enh]-possible to do foundset.clearFoundSet() in onLoad method to prevent form being loaded with data on initial show

Can you explain how this is different from doing foundset.clearFoundSet() as part of an onShow method?

[jcompagner]

with an onshow you clear a foundset that is already being loaded. So there is already an interaction between the db and the servoy server to load the first bunch of data.

In the onLoad this communication is completely not done.

[drookwood]

SO (just to get this straight) .. when a form is shown, any residual records from the last time the form or the relevant record set was used are loaded BEFORE any onShow method triggers?

Whereas if an onLoad method is used, the onLoad method is triggerred BEFORE the form attempts to load any previous records used?

An onLoad method always triggers before an onShow method?

[jcompagner]

yes but an onload only once!
so if you need to clear the foundset always when the form is shown then you still need to use the onshow..

[drookwood]

thanks for that clarification - I was about to reconsider my use of onShow methods that do need to clear the found set on each load!
