Subfile row folding gone?

Post by dabeda »

Hello,

I am trying to use the subfile row folding, but just saw that I cannot choose it anymore.
In other subfiles where this is implemented it shows that "Profoundlogic does not recomend it in new applications".
So what other possibility is there to fold rows in a Subfile-Grid?

Regards
Peter

Row folding/dropping is a green-screen (5250) feature that was designed to work around the limitation of having only a maximum of 132 columns on the screen. We provide support for it in order to enable you to convert your green-screen applications to Rich Displays.

We have NEVER recommended it for new applications. Recently, we added features to the Visual Designer to make it more obvious which features are legacy features and which make sense for new applications. But we have NEVER recommended it for new applications.

Instead, make your grids wider so there's no need for folding. Or put the grid into a scrollable layout so you can scroll right and left. Never fold them.
