Mike Kerner: "Well, that would be a nice thing to have in a field widget, but I run into formatting issues with databases, as well, especially when sorting."
I am using all kinds of formatting functions with databases. There is always this overhead which could be minimized using a database adapter as provided in other languages, or writing your own. But fields, the visual objects used most, are a focus for any data management. They always deserve attention, and unless there will be such new widget, actually our already nice fields would be candidate for such and other improvements. And also, it is a widely adopted standard that left, top, right and bottom boundaries could be formatted separately. I do not know much about the internal workings of the machine, but could such work be outsourced? Maybe someone could raise funding? I would rather like to see the improvements in the core engine instead of as a LC Builder widget since it is so basic.
