I realize this is a feature request but it would mean a HUGE amount to me.

In the dictionary editor as well as in other parts of the program. Can we have an option so that when we double click on variables or datasources that they automatically pop-up their edit option.

I know that if you double click on a field it adds it to the report (which I like).

However my expectation (as well as the expectation of the 10 to 20 users I have worked with) is that when you double-click on a datasource or a variable the edit dialog for those controls comes up.

This would prevent us from having to select a datasource, then right-click, then select edit. I think it would be a great time saver and easy to implement.

I'll even ask pretty please with sugar on top:biggrin: :biggrin:

Hi John,

There is such a property.

Please add the following code before launching the Designer:

Code: Select all

StiSettings.Load();
StiSettings.Set("StiDesigner", "CreateFieldOnDoubleClick", false);
StiSettings.Save();

This code just uncheck the button CreateFieldonDoubleClick in the Dictionary panel automatically.

Thank you.

Can we make it so that when "CreateFieldOnDoubleClick" = true that anything that isn't a field still goes into edit mode?

We like being able to double click on a FIELD and have it pop onto the report. However... other objects do nothing when you double click on them in this mode. For example, a datasource or a variable. If these could come up with an edit window. That would be fantastic.
