We recently decided to change the tooltip text on one of our buttons to
something else. I wasn't suprised (more dissapointed) to find out that
this is what happens:
We updated our customers so they would receive the correct tooltip text. After performing the update, the Commandbars displays this message: "Due to a software update the toolbar '<toolbarname>' has changed. Would you like to reset your customized toolbar and load the new one?" If the user selects 'no' then the tooltip text is not updated. If the user seletcs 'yes' then any customizations they have made to the toolbar (moving buttons, hiding buttons, etc.) are reverted. Is it just me, or does this seem a bit silly? Unless I'm missing something, it seems like this would be the case: 1. Make sure you have thought through your tooltip text very carefully. Make sure there are no typos, etc. If you ever have to give a customer an update, any time they have spent doing customizations is waisted. 2. Make sure you have thought of every possible functionality that your application will perform. Even if you don't have the functionality built before releasing the product, still build the buttons in. You may have 100 extra buttons that don't do anything when clicked, but they will be there later if you need them. This way, if you decide to add code to the buttons, you can just turn the visibility on rather than have all of the customer's preferences whiped out. If you decide to add a new button later, the same thing happens as when you change the tooltip text: Bye Bye customized toolbar. I've been whining to CodeJock for 2 years about the lack of dynamic buttons/docking panes. There has to be someone else out there that builds dynamic/scalable applications. Has anyone been able to accomplish these tasks using the CodeJock controls? I'm finding it difficult. |
