... (though I think it was not intended) you need to keep in mind how xbrowse handles the linestyles and pens. For normal programming, it is not desirable to directly change the pens.

... I realize the need to distinguish ADS in the code under development. For ADS, particularly client server implementation with large tables, it is desirable that the filter expression can be resolved on the server and if possible optimized. Instead of using wildmatch function, better to use <expr> ...
