Dear Appeon Team we are using PB2022 R3 Please Please Take care of these mentioned points

1.Can u please add a option to highlight the backcolor of focused column in light green or light blue and keep it back the existing colur or customized color when focus lost(Programaticaly doable but if it is a detail grid Performance is very low) in stead of giving a border high light ,which is not visible in ERP .

2.Our ERP customers are hesitating to upgrade to power client as they are getting instant update against there wills , so Please provide a option in launcher itself to ask for a option Updates are available DO YOU want to Update .please please this is a very much required option .Even as a developer i feel this is required an auto update directly sometimes creating a heavy business loss .

Please Give a patch update or R3 with the above solution please please .

Thank You

Hi jagamohan;

For #1 ...

   You can have implemented this in any PB App based on using an expression to control the background colour of any column that has focus. If you want to see examples of that, have a look at my STD Framework's OrderEntry demo app. You can see that feature in action and the App user controls the app various colour settings (focus colour being one of them).  For example:

    FYI:  http://chrispollach.blogspot.com/2024/05/2024r2.html

For #2 ...

  FYI: You can control App updates through App versions and assigning them Starting & Ending dates. So for example, if version 1.01 has an ending date of 2024-10-31 and version 1.02 does not start until 2024-11-01 - then you can push out changes to the App under v1.02 and it will not affect current v1.01 app users. You can also control updates using the PS Project Start-up options. For example:

  BTW: There is already an enhancement request for PS App users to receive a prompt message before accepting any App update.

HTH

Hi Chris, Regarding #1, Jagamohan already mentioned this can be accomplished through coding; he wanted PB to automatically do it without any coding. And regarding #2, as far as I know there is no plans to allow user to reject an update, which if I understood correctly that's what Jagamohan is requesting.

For sure but it's not simple as you need to give the app user control over various colours as applied themes, windows theme settings, personal visual colour perception, etc can make a real difference on how the app user perceives the "readability" of any app. Just having Appeon automatically assign a focus colour at design time would not really address the above. My framework does. So jagamohan can either use the framework or he's welcome to copy the implementation code for his own use.

We have already had requests to implement the #2 suggestion as well as when a new version is deployed to automatically remove the previous version. However, I have no idea where these enhancements sit in the Engineering queue.

Hi Jagamohan,

We have no plans to make any of the changes that you outlined.

I also want to clarify two points:

1. Feature enhancement requests are purely 'requests'.  You will be dissapointed if you expect it to be done quickly, because a) we get way too many requests cannot do them all, and b) even if we do decide to implement your request our cycles are 1-2 years usually.

2. Feature enhancement requests should be submitted to product@appeon.com.  This is a tech Q&A forum to get help with project/programming issues.

Best regards,
Armeen
