ShowData menuitem

rbuser

Hi,

RbPro 11.06, Delphi 2006, Vista SP2



The checkmark of the ShowData menuitem does not follow the state of the
designer.

I think the following line is missing in procedure
TppDesignViewMenu.UpdateStatus

FShowData.Checked := WorkspaceController.WorkspaceView.LiveData;


Also it seems that the saved preference value is ignored. Not sure about
this, could be the way we create the designer window. But i noticed that in
TppDesigner.CreateDesignerWindow during the creation of the
TppDesignerWindow the preferences are first loaded by
TppDesignerWorkSpaceView.LoadPreferences. After that DesignerWindow.LiveDta
is overwritten with TppDesigner.FShowData. And TppDesigner.FShowData is
always true at that point.
For now i have solved it with an extra call to LoadPrefences after the
creation of the designer.

Thanks for pointing this out. This fix will be included in the code base
going forward.

If you want Preferences to take precedence over TppDesigner property values
then calling LoadPreferences after creating the designer is a good idea. I
we change this now, it would break other developers' existing code that are
relying on the TppDesigner property values to override preferences.
