>1. The "type" column in the grid is a duplication of the first column in the grid (which shows the icons). So it should be make optional (at least). I suggest, beside the first 3 columns in the grid the rest should be made optional. All columns ARE optional. You can move the columns so that they appear in any order, and change their widths as well. Just shrink the unwanted columns to minimal width. These settings are sticky between sessions.

By the way, for my own personal use, my filter for "Normal View" selects only properties -- so I don't need either column!

>2. For the grid display customization, wgy not allow user to set Forecolor, Backcolor and Font attribute (Bold, Italic or none) at the sametime for the same item. Currently these are make mutually exclusive, that is instead of customize the display in all the mentioned 3 areas, one can only customize one of them. Also, I strongly wish the "Name" and "Value" columns can be customized seperately. This is merely due to the complexity of trying to create a user interface to provide for all the possible combinations that could occur. We will, however, consider providing a mechanism in a future release which would allow you to use your own custom highlighting to the grid

>3. Unlike the VFP's Property window, opening several methods from PEM Editor then start closing them, the closing is not LIFO! This is outside of PEM Editor's control. When you close a form, windows returns the focus where it will. I'm absolutely sure that there is nothing that can be done about this.

>If we open (double-click in PEM editor) several methods of a class in the order shown like the below:
>- 1.Class designer
>- 2.Method abc1
>- 3.Method abc2
>- 4.Method abc3 (Active)
>
>Then try to close (CtrlF4) those method windows one after the other, starting with the last opened method which is Active, the next window get activated is NOT "3.Method abc2" instead the "1.Class designer" get activated. This cause closing method windows very troublesome... I think this behavior has serious impact on the efficiency in using PEM editor.
>I almost always accidently close a the class desiner when what I want is just to close those methods that I have just opened from PEM editor... sigh!
