Would it be possible to implement radio button beside checkbox.

I need to create radio buttons which would change a status of an item depending on which is chosen. I read a thread in the forum where it is possible by scripts, but well....how to say... It is tricky to guess the exact location of the radio button when there is no grid nor cursor position displayed and I am not going to waste my working time with trials and errors, my employer would not appreciate I am not even talking about maintaining the application in the future...

Morevover, how to add actions to this buttons?

For example, I need 3 buttons, depending on which one is chosen, the status of my item will change and it can be only one choice at a time.

* - Defect
* - In preparation
* - Ready

It might be working like a combobox but radio button are more eye catching.

Is it possible to implement multilingual user interface support within MVDB with no modifiable ini file?

As I work for an international company I would like to give the choice to choose the user interface language. This means that depending on language choice, all  object labels would switch to the chose language.

Is it possible to do so inside the database/compiled program? I mean, I do not want users being able to modify anything regarding the translations, so, ini or txt files are banned. The best way would be to have a table "language" and assign translations ID to the object labels.

Thanks Dmitry, I will try that as soon as possible

Hello Dmitry,

I'd love to see the TWebBrowser Class implemented in an upcoming version, that would be great !

Nice tool :-)

Hello Dmitry

I have used  MVD for a few weeks now and would like to make the following suggestions for features in a future release.

** SMALL IMPROVEMENTS TO TABLEGRID
1.  A currency field shows in a tablegrid column as right-justified automatically.  Can the column header.alignment also be right-justified automatically?
2.  A currency field's properties can be set in the Object Inspector to display, for example, as £27,500.00 but shows as 27500 in the tablegrid (cell) and as £27500.00 in the tablegrid (footer).  Can both tablegrid (cell) and tablegrid (footer) display the field contents exactly as defined in the field's properties so that it is consistent?
3.  Could a color picker be added to the tablegrid footer options so that footer summaries can be easily highlighted (ie, 'Formula', 'Text Before', 'Text After' and then 'Color Picker')?

** NEW FIELD PROPERTIES IN THE OBJECT INSPECTOR
4.  Add an 'uppercase' property to force upper case to ensure that data is entered consistently.
5.  Add a 'hint' property with an edit box so you can write help messages that will appear when hovering over the form / tablegrid / field with the mouse.
6.  Add a vertical scroll-bar property for text fields that are displayed as memos.

** NEW BUTTON ACTION
7.  Add a new BUTTON action that makes an 'open url' call to a website.

** NEW FIELD TYPE
8.  A "LIST" field type (like Google Docs' List of Items where you create a small list of valid entries, separated by commas).
For example, in your MVD Students project, currently you have to:
a) create 5 separate 'dictionary' tables (sex, groupname, specname, status, prohod),
b) create 5 relationships with other tables
c) create 6 forms.
With a "LIST" field type, you would only need 5 "List" fields with list items of (Male,Female), (1st Attempt,2nd Attempt), (01,02), (Doctor,Lawyer) and (Normal,Fired,Graduate) - much more simple.
Perhaps there are programming reasons why you can't have an option like this but it would make creating a project much quicker and easier  to set up.

I understand that most of these things can be done by writing scripts (as I have done myself) but for ease of use, speed of development and for those Users who are not comfortable with scripts, perhaps some of these things could be included as part of the basic MVD program in the future.

Thanks for all your help so far.
Derek.

Would it be possible to add a TextHint property to TextBox objects so we would not need to script it?

Encrypt the Script.dcu as a binary so it would be more difficult to hack the script?

Is it somehow planned in the near future to get skins or themes to change the look and feel of the application we create? The current GUI looks terribly old school

I still like the standalone version but there is place for improvement in the graphical user interface for final user

I would like to see more properties on the objects to avoid scripting, this would help customers to be able to build better projects without knowing too much programming and free up some memory
