Styleclass background-images are not visible in RC4 in the SmartClient. Webclient is working normal. Is it a known bug?

[ngervasi]

I guess it's due to this: [chg] New Servoy 6.1 CSS2 & CSS3 features will only work in WebClient, they are too fragile in SmartClient (Swing)

I thought background-image is CSS1.... But anyway, if I want to use the background images for webclient (which is working) then it whould be nice to see the result of that in the developer (on the form-builder), too, because right now everything is grey...

Form designer shows the background images if form is in solution of type Normal or Web Client Only. Do you have an example that is not working?

[briese-it]

I see. All my forms are within solutions of type "module" because they are only moduls of the main-solution with type "normal". Now I have to change all my moduls to type normal or webclient for showing background-images? I think that's not the correct way.....

We changed this so it looks at main solution type instead of form solution type. Will be included in next release.

Hi everybody!
I'm trying to understand how with 6.1 this List_view is shown as follow :

giorn_6_1_rc.jpg (38.39 KiB) Viewed 17755 times

while the same one is correctly shown in 6.0.6 (it happens with all browsers) :

giorn_6_0_6.jpg (58.97 KiB) Viewed 17755 times

Do you have any idea?

Thanks in advance.

We noticed that in RC4 that changing the active solution takes quite a long time. The build process is also slower compared to 6.0.6 (and even some of the prior RCs). The worst part however is that after changing the active solution and waiting for the build to finish, when we start a debug session we get all kinds of unexpected runtime errors like "variable is not defined" or "method is not defined" which go away if we restart the Servoy Developer. What could be causing this?

In Servoy 6.1 ListView support for Web Client was added, so ListView will be displayed as SmartClient ListView.

I understand, thank you. Do you think I have to switch to the TableView for my purpose?

Yes, in 6.0 Web Client the listview is actually a tableview.

Hi,

Is this viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18067#p97311 fixed ??

Hi Servoy,

In 6.0.6 we could bind fields using 2-hop relations - for example, on a form based on table A we could place a field with a dataprovider set as: A_to_B.B_to_C.some_column

In 6.1 RC4 such bindings are still possible (at least the UI in the Servoy Developer allows it) but at runtime no data is displayed in fields or labels which use more than 1-hop relations like the one described above. Is this a bug or an intentional change? Are such bindings supported by Servoy in 6.1?
