Request: Document xBrowse

Postby TimStone » Tue Nov 29, 2016 4:35 pm

Over the past several years, many wonderful changes and features have been added to xbrowse ( and other controls ). These are mentioned in "What's New" but that is a very fragmented way to ever look for something.

I would much rather first search documentation before asking a question. I appreciate the helpful replies, but I best understand things from the documentation.

So, I will again make this request. Could we please have the Wiki documentation updated. xBrowse is the perfect example. It has not been updated for over 3 1/2 years. That is 43 months, and during that time there have been so many enhancements made, and changes. Many operations now are different from the current Wiki posting.

I really appreciate FiveWin but I know I could do more with it if the documentation were brought up to date. Some areas are relatively unchanged, but other areas have had major work. I know development is far more enjoyable than documentation, but as professionals, we absolutely need to keep our work documented. I have to keep the manual current for my clients, and internally document my code for my successors, so I know it's not the most fun job. However, it is very very important.

So please ... can we get the documentation updated ?

Please ????????????????????????????

The Wiki is wonderful ... as are all of the improvements in FiveWin. I admit at my age I sometimes forget things and need to refresh my memory, and that is why the documentation is so important.
