Hello Wendy,

I did notice this and as a matter a fact, it is stated like this
in the JBuilder manuals. However, it is a very important feature
needed to write decent and user-friendly GUIs. Also in the JB
documentation, Borland advices to use Swing and dbSwing rather than the
older AWT and JBCL. I think somebody in this newsgroup even mentioned
that Borland will abandon JBCL in the long run.

So Question: What are the intentions of Borland concerning dbSwing?
Will it become full-featured in the next releases (including
editmasks)? If so, when will these new versions become available?

Any answer to any of these question would be VERY helpful, because we
eventually will need these features.

Thanks in advance,

Wim Van Leuven.
