Is it correct that a fix grid has exactly only one property "rowheight" which is then applied to all rows.

What we would need:
- at minimum allow to separatly specify the height of the header row.
- better still: allow to specify row height individually for each row.

It looks like that with these changes, the fixgrid is not so "fix" any more, so maybe this will give a new control named "flexgrid".

Thanks for the hint, but then we have the same problem: how to create a link that triggers roundtrips in the captain-casa world?

second problem: we had enbedded several browser tag in some test pages and done lots of refreshes - this sometimes crashed the client (hard protection violations), so "browser" really seems to be a "heavy" control to use only in very "controlled" use cases.

This could be used as workaround for
my previous request, but only when at least basic functionality can be used within the generated html - and I think it is worth to create anyway.

We need to have links that trigger a roundtrip to the server, and display images. A possible scenario is as follows:

have defined a
Code:

<textpane 
         contenttype="text/html"
         text="{d.mybean.myhtml}"
         actionListener="{d.mybean.onLink}" />

and then html (as delivered through getMyhtml() method) may contain
Code:

please click <a href="myfunction>here</a> 
 when you look at this image <img src="images/coolpic.png" />

should load the image from the current server (no need to know the server url in our application code), and the link should invoke the action listener (the function onLink(ActionEvent e), and the url of this link ("myfunction") must be available on server side, it could be passed as a parameter of BaseActionEvent.

We need to display text that should wrap to multiple lines if too long. This is needed for plain text (here we could use textarea with enabled=false), but we also would like to have theis multiline thing for the "link" item.

Because the height is variable, the control must adjust it accordingly.
For some controls this feature is already implemented regarding their width (e.g. button and label), so this should be augmented for the height.

how to prevent undocking of workpages.

I found there is a flag in class Workpage, but it is not available in IWorkpage interface. And then it is available only when creating a workpage for ourselves, but not when the workpage container starts a page on its own. For this latter we discovered WorkpageStarterFactory, and could provide our own IWorkpageStarter. But this requires lots of duplicating code (entire start procedure), when we would more like to have a hook/create a subclass where we simply can change this flag and leave everything else to eclnt implementation.

one of our views keeps showing a scroll bar. why???

(of course you cannot answer this question without knowing our screens, so expected answer is: how can we trace where view elements get their position and size from (...having thousands of attributes in the component and all its containers...).

If I were not a newbie on Swing, I would probably know myself where to look, so I am asking the experts now.

We use IdAttributesSelection.createInstance(),
when this is invoked from a ModalPopup, the combo list is displayed BEHIND the popup! (...or we are doing something fundamentally wrong here, so any advise is welcome...)

When using ComboField as replacement for combobox (as suggested), it should be possible to make it behave more like a proper combobox.
We are using IdAttributesSelection. and we are missing:

- possibility to avoid the list header
- dimensions should adjust to list contents, or at minimum:
- vertical dimension adjust such that no empty space is visible
- horizontal dimension should be customizable by application code.

we have a fixgrid with vertical lines between the columns.
Clicking on these lines should select the row, but does nothing (it is not easy to hit these lines, but by chance it surely occurs, and then it is strange when nothing happens).

Just encountered a BigDecimal defined with 9 decimal places.

This fails in CCFormatters.rightScale(BigDecimal,String) - maybe a more generic solution might be appropriate.

Is it possible to specify that a fixgrid column is "just as wide as needed", i.e. depending on the contents of the rows, the column width is adjusted.

This is the standard behavior of html tables.

Of course this is sometimes problematic when extremely large values can occur, so there would be another wish to specify a maximum width.

In Windows, and in the browser (e.g. this forum editor), it is custom that a button function is triggered when the mouse button is released.

It looks like captain casa can see into the future and triggers already when the mouse button is being pressed.

Thanks for this hint.
Is there a "standard" way to do this (j2ee- servlet api)? This tomcat stuff apparently leads deeper and deeper into catalina classes.

In good old days we had com.casabac.server.IInteractionSessionMgr, which allowed an admin to see how many sessions are currently active, access certain properties of the sessions (e.g. user name), and could even kill a session.

How are similar tasks performed with captain casa?

In my opinion that would be duplicating the functionality already implemented by workpage which essentially is nothing more than a rowinclude of a certain jsppage (and of course the workpage manager displaying the tabs etc. etc.), so I don't know what is so bad in switching the page.
