Subject: [IBO] TIB_ComboBox (Repost)


> This is a request to change the behaviour of TIB_ComboBox so that it
behaves
> like TIB_LookupCombo.
>
> In both controls you can reselect the current value.
>
> When the current value is reselected in TIB_LookupCombo its dataset does
not
> enter state dsEdit.
> When the current value is reselected in TIB_ComboBox its dataset's state
is
> set to dsEdit.
>
> The dataset state affects the transaction state. The trnsaction state
> affects whether I tell my user they have made a change.
>
> If a user reselect the current value they think they have not made a
change.
> Therefore I suggest the TIB_ComboBox behaviour should change.
>
> Thanks for considering this.
>
>
> Example:
> Take for example the IBO LookupCombo demonstration progam. Stay on one
> record. Drop the Department IB_LookupCombo and reselect the current value.
> The IB_Updatebar does not change and behind the scenes the trDemo
> transaction state stays at tsInactive. (I do not know if it has
intermediate
> values through this action).
>
> I have added a TIB_ComboBox to this program and added a few values: USA,
> France, Italy, .... and attached it to field JOB_COUNTRY. If I drop the
> ComboBox and reselect the current value the IB_UpdateBar changes and
behind
> the scenes trDemo transitions from tsInactive to tsActive.
>
> In this sense the behaviour of the LookupCombo and the ComboBox is
different
> when the current value is reselected. I am asking if the ComboBox
behaviour
> should be the same as the LookupCombo when the current value is
reselected.
