All:

We would like our application to have the following features:

1) We want most of our forms to have Edit Mode functionalty where the user has to click Edit Button for editing instead of being live.
2) We want to picklists to have a pop-up functionality to quickly search on multiple columns.
3) We want to picklists to have a Add/EDIT functionality to quickly Add/Edit a record bound with the list.
4) We want the application forms to have a toolbar that will support common actions such as Add/EDIT/Delete/COPY.
5) Child delete currently deletes the record on the server. We have to change this behaviour so that it just marks the child for deletion and actual deletion happens when the Parent record is saved.
6) On the same note as #5, we already use stored procedures for Saving Records. We want to use the existing procedures for saving. That means we want to update the save logic for the forms to create an XML from Business Object that willl basically call the update procedure.
7) For being lists, we would like to use free type text fields to display the information and #5 for changing the item. How can we get this behavior.


We do realise that no framework can provide all the features for building different application type. That's why we want to get feedback on accomplishing the above features in our application from current MM user community. We are using MM for VS2010.

Thanks in advance,
