I've found quite a few problems with Sheridan's Data Widgets as well.
I'm (trying to) use their SSDBCombo control as an unbound control. The
ListPosition event doesn't fire unless you call it from another event
(e.g. KeyUp), in which case it doesn't necessarilily get fired in the
right order. The UnboundPositionData reads sequentially from the
beginning of the resultset (table, dynaset, or snapshot) despite the
resultset having already been positioned, etc.
What concerns me is that I've just ordered the Designer Widgets, mostly
for the Tab control. I wonder if I'm in for a dissappointment.
BTW, _are_ there any Combo controls that can be made to work fast with
very large (1+ million row resultsets) databases?
