      • Borderlayout - collapsable regions (north/east/west/south)

        When designing a borderlayout is would be a great feature if you could specify isf a region is collapsable.
        See Basic Ext Layouts - Border in the link below to see what i mean.
        http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.0.0/examples/layout-browser/layout-browser.html

        This would be brilliant to put your navigation tree in without the navigation tree taking up valuable workspace on smaller screens.

        • Restrict the list of available panels and actions in the XML editor when you applied a filter in the IDE

          It would be nice if the list of panels and actions in the editor follow the filter restriction you can put in the object tree. (maybe optional as a user setting so that you can choose to do so)

          • Ability to select datasource table/view outside of Application datasource scheme

            When you create a datasource, you should be able to select a table of view from another database scheme as the datasource scheme define at Formspider application level.
            You should be able to select all views or tables that the Formspider application datasource scheme has acces to, either through public or private synonyms.

            Our current forms application has more than 1000 tables and hundreds of views divided over about 20 database schemes(in the same database). The user rights to these tables and views are all handled automatically by our application (it will grant right to the ones who should be… more

            • Button with icon and text

              On the current button you can specify an icon and text, but they both will be centered on the button. It would be very nice if you could create an iconic button where the icon is fixed on the far left of the button and the text centered (in the remaining button space right of the button). Would be a great user interface improvement.

              • Type ahead combobox

                A type ahead combobox is much more user friendly then the current one. Typing the first few letters of a selection and restricting the options in the list accordingly is much easier for larger lists.

                          • PL/SQL Editor in the IDE

                            Currently, Formspider does not have a PL/SQL editor. Developers can use any PL/SQL they like to write their code in the database. It would be nice if the Formspider IDE had a PL/SQL editor. This way, developers could build the screens and write the code in the same tool.

                            • Better support for showing Videos, PDFs, Documents stored in a BLOB

                              Event though Formspider supports showing these large objects, it should be easier to work with them with better API support and declarative features.

                                    Event though the Learning Center has many tutorials, the API documentation needs more detailed information. Documentation of UI components and their attributes would also be very helpful.

                                      • Horizontal Scroll Bar for the Grid Component

                                        Currently grid component does not have a Horizontal scroll bar. If there are too many columns in the grid, it would be nice if the user sees only some of the columns at a time and scroll through the rest horizontally.

                                          • Declarative Master Detail Relationships

                                            Currently, a master detail relationship between two grids is implemented by writing PL/SQL code. It would be nice if this was automatically handled by the framework once the developer creates the relationship declaratively.
