[RFE] don't reset form when turn on design view
Last modified: 2006-05-31 14:29:06 UTC
- insert a checkbox into a writer document - turn off design view - check the checkbox - turn on the designview ==>> the check state is gone.
LHO: The content or state of any field must not be reset automatically when switching to or from design mode. To reset a form to the defaults, a new button ("Reset Form Fields") in the form functions tool bar needs to be introduced.
I am not sure why this feature of resetting the form when switching the mode was introduced, but I know that - it was a long time ago - it's caused us permanently trouble - it's probably obsolete right now So unless I can't find any reasons to keep this behaviour, I'm going to implement this as proposed by LHO. Nevertheless, I'm changing the type to ENHANCEMENT. There was a reason for doing it as it's done now (even if nobody knows it anymore), and the fact that the behaviour yields an usability issue does not automatically qualify it as DEFECT, IMO.
no a reset is only made when entering the design mode, for controls which belong to a database which which was loaded (i.e. bound to some table/query/SQL statement) in alive mode. This prevents that for database forms, the user switches on the design mode with the UI suggesting that *nothing* happened.
change subcomponent to 'none'
