Also +1 for changing the behavior. With the caveat that we
obviously need to maintain upward compatibility in some
way. From: birt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:birt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Krishna Venkatraman Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 10:29 AM To: Jane Tatchell; Yu Li; For developers on the BIRT project Subject: RE: [birt-dev] BIRT Combo and List box +1 for changing the
behaviour. Thanks! Krishna From:
birt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:birt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jane Tatchell We should change the
BIRT behavior. Yes, current users will notice the difference, but they will
probably feel that we have fixed a bug rather than broken existing
behavior. JAne. From:
birt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:birt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yu Li The definitions for combo box and list box from Wikipedia
is: combo box is a
combination of a drop-down list or list box and a single-line textbox, allowing
the user to type a value directly into the control as well as being able to pick
from the list of existing options. A list box allows the
user to select one or more items from a list contained within a static, multiple
line text box. Currently, BIRT has the
opposite definition. Since we have this for long time and probably users are all
used to this, how many feel BIRT needs to change
the combo and list box behavior? Thanks! Ivy
