I know you are working on spandex controls, data entry at design time. However I would like to add current line highliting. I like the thin dashed lines above and below the text that TextPad uses the best.
VB has data bound controls to jet/access. Could you bind a control to a Cheetah database? Could loading egrid for example, automatically fill a cheetah table? It might find a home for some stray cats.
thanks,

Data entry at design won't be in the new version. It will be in a version shortly thereafter.

There are many limitations with the current implementation of the code editor (it uses the CodeMax editing component). FireFly will eventually evolve to use a variation of Borje's EDM32 editing component - as will the JellyFish Pro Editor.

Several people have asked about data bound controls. To be 100% honest, I was never a fan of them in Visual Basic and I am not a great fan of them now. :) I guess that they do make creating applications faster, but their limitations seem to be a bigger hinderance to the long term development of your application.
I defer to your judgement in all matters database. To tell you the truth, when I used to use Visual Basic the darn links from control to data were unreliable. I brought up this topic because this feature is mentioned for another IDE (powerdev) in the Powerbasic forum. This may be a case where "less is more". Don't use #bloat in Firefly.
