Highlight Search Terms in HTML Pane?

Submitted by David_H on 2016/11/01 02:01
When a search is performed, the search term is highlighted on items in the grid, but not in the HTML pane.  Is there any way to also highlight them in the HTML pane?
 
I sometimes searching for strings where I want to find not just a grid item, but the search string - in a long article in the HTML pane for instance.  Right now the only thing I can do is perform the search, and then once the search results are returned, manually click Menu > Edit > Find in the HTML pane for each item. This in and of itself wouldn't be too bad of I could keep the HTML find box active when switching between items, but that's not possible, so I then have to close it and keep doing that again and again til I find what I'm looking for.
 
Thanks!

Source Items (Tree View) to display correct children order

Submitted by ethanrox on 2016/10/30 14:44
Have been discovering the uses of Tree View lately.

One thing that bugs me is that the children are not displayed in the correct order for the parent.
 
I thought it was due to sorting, but turning it off, no Source Bar or Group bar either - the items still display in an order which I cannot change for long (refreshing the grid takes them back at their wrong places)
 
Hope it's clear.

Properties Pane Grids section - enable ordering and field adding

Submitted by jimspoon on 2016/10/30 05:24
Would it be useful to enable adding and ordering of columns in the Grids section of the Properties pane?
 
The vertical position of the field names in the Grids section would correspond to the left-right position of the columns in the grid.  Alt+up/down keys could be used to quickly change this ordering.
 
An "Add Column" ... cell could be added in the list of columns for each grid.   Typing in this cell could activate a dropbown box containing the names of all fields, "filter as you type".  Once a field is entered in this box, the alt+up/down could be used to place the column in the desired location.
 

Conditional Formatting - Capital Letters not Accepted in Criteria (& Online Help File is Missing an Image)

Submitted by viking on 2016/10/30 03:51
Here is one way of how to reproduce my issue:
 
1. In a new file with sample data, add the Notes column to the Welcome Grid.
2. For the "Item" Field Properties, add conditional formatting:
        Criteria: [Notes]="work"
        Formats: BackColor=&H00FFFF
3. Close and reopen the Welcome Grid
4. Type work in the Notes column for an item => Item gets yellow highlights as it should.
 
Now edit the Criteria to [Notes]="Work" (capital W)
3. Close and reopen the Welcome Grid
4. Type Work in the Notes column for an item => Item does not get yellow highlights as it should.
