I am starting to dislike tabpages more and more but in some cases it just makes so much sense to use them. I am playing around with some other options that look pretty nice too.
I'll post some other code tomorrow, this time it is a button subclass, but I have to simplify a button subclass and test it in both 1.1 and 2.0 first. Right now I see different behaviour in 2.0 compared to 1.1.

But now I've got to debug a dataset issue that popped up that I didn't expect (hmm I guess if I did expect it then it wouldn't be an issue <bg>)

>>I was hoping you would see my post. You always seems to solve my "issues" <s>.
>>If mamory serves me correctly I think it wasn't a "red" idea I got from you but rather a very nice "light blue" idea (or maybe it was from Kevin or maybe Kevin got it from you and I got it from Kevin <bg>) If that doesn't make any sense to you well then I totally missed the point LMAO now I am not making any sense to myself.

>>I will post more of my subclassing issues tomorrow morning (I am in the middle of something else right now and I don't want to loose my train of thoughts). It appears that relatively simple subclassing techniques (that I think are good) do not work the same way in 2.0 as they did (does) in 1.1,

>>>Wow, I guess I need to start messing with this more. I'm pretty sure you got the "red" idea from me and I sure hope I don't start running into "issues" ... what kind of "issues" have you encountered? I will be getting into 2.0 pretty heavily starting in April.
