TD 6.2 has been changed (or made broken) the way GUI objects are updated while debugging code.
In earlier TD versions, stepping through code which changes the GUI objects (like setting texts, updating colors, inserting items in tables and listboxes etc) did update these objects in realtime.
But unfortunately, this does not work in TD6.2 !
The GUI objects (most of them) are not updated while debugging and will get updated after you continue (run) the execution.
For instance, adding a row in a table, setting column texts do not show.
This makes our work much harder, because the only way to see what the code does on the GUI objects visually is to evaluate SalUpdateWindow( object ) in the evaluate window.
I really hope this is an issue in the debugger and will be fixed and not a conscious decision.
See testcase. Place breakpoint at the first line of the function and step through the code.
Make sure the form and the IDE are both visible at the same time to see if the objects get updated.
Compare with TD6.1, the GUI is updated like expected. In TD6.2 (SP2) these objects are NOT updated:
ChildTable, Listbox, combobox, checkbox, radiobutton, colors on cb,rb,pic,lbx,tbl and pb
(test application saved in TD 6.1 format)
PS
I can not check TD 6.1 IDE from SP2 to SP5 and TD 6.2 to SP1.
Please confirm this behavior in other TD versions (Sp's) to see when this has been introduced.
