QUESTION:
When maximizing a component, I am getting lots of messages telling me I've made changes to the component (view, application, etc.) in the Studio when I haven't. It's very annoying and this did not happen in 9.0. Why does this happen in 9.1?
ANSWER:
In Visual DatFlex 9.1 and 10.0, the Studio window size for each component is stored in the component's source code. By window size we mean the Studio window in which the component resides. Every time you resize this window, even if you maximize it or un-maximize it, it causes a change to that component, because the new window size has changed.
It is a change for the better, though, since you can now decide on a component-by-component basis how large you want the outer window for that component to be. For applications, for example, you can drop objects like cApplication objects into the window outside of the actual Main panel object, in which case you may want to resize the
window so you can adjust objects like these.
This has now changed in Visual DatFlex 10.1: the window size is still saved per component but it is saved to a separate file, not to the source code of the component. The "<component name> has been changed - Do you want to save?" message will no longer be triggered when you resize the Studio window size.
