On macOS Tahoe 27.2 / Xojo 26r3
DesktopTable = DT
The Blog says:
DesktopTable is a new control introduced in Xojo 2026r3, it is designed as a drop-in replacement for DesktopListBox, …
Not really true.
2.While adding a range of features for…
This is true.
Not really true:
Save as text: apparently the Header is not saved (only the name of Column 0, then nothing and I have to add columns manually in the text file.
(I have to investigate, but this seems consistent: do that in each and every save / refuse to load the text file after a save…).
Cmd-O: ask the user to choose a file the first time, then reload automagically the same file (if possible). Nice sometimes / Bad sometimes (when you want to load another file for testing.
Tab in an Editeted Cell: the DT loose the focus; worked fine with the DesktopListBox.
In a line where I had " = DesktopListbox.": an error is generated. This is boring, but a Global Search / Replace is OK.
Unfortunately, sometimes I had " = (Listbox.": it compiles OK. Is it working OK ?
At least, I have tons of “ListBox” in comments (these are comments): a global search returns tons of found occurences and looking at each one to be sure these are in Comments MANUALLY is particularly boring.
And, I certainly forgot some, but DT is particularly fast to detect a Non Existing Column number (where DesktioListBox worked fine / report no error).
With my vision who decrease after 1 working error, this does not help me.
PS: sorry, but asking for my Xojo ID / Password does not send a mail.
Because Xojo does not liked my previous screenshot on the subject I do not add that one, only the text:
Sign In Failed
The username and password provided did not match our records.
The above text appears after I asked to change my password (I think the username was OK). I do that two or three times, consistent rejection.
If I fall in another trick (or resolve one already “found”), I will try to add a word here this afternoon or tomorrow.
Now I have to prepare to go to the hospital.
BTW: Autocomplete for Desktop is inexistent, the proposal is… the whole list of DesktopXyyyy … really boring when you have to change many times a word (DesktopListBox with DesktopTable.
And… this Forum software flag each and (nearly) every english word while I work this text just because I use MY Language (French) as the OS Language.
(the declared language in the forum page source is “en”… and I do not read forward that)
EDIT:
I just recall, it may be my fault), but at edit time I left a Return in a Cell and this was doing a read error. I have to take time to check my Save as Text method (once more, but for that too).
