I just started playing with the new Control Center, and found a few issues:
- In the properties window, clicking in a text box does not put the cursor where you click (you need to use the keyboard).
- PNG images do not show up. Not supported?
- Rectangles (both kinds) do not stay selected for aligning and such.
- Changing rectangle parameters do not enable Save button on toolbar.
- Not many fonts are displayed for a text object.

Tony,
Wow! Harsh . Just kidding. Ok, I checked out the items above and have the answers.
1. Couldnt find what you were talking about here. I went to every text box in the Properties window and the cursor would always appear if it was an editable field. Could you guide me a little further.
2. Correct. PNG images are unsupported . There won't be anything I can do about this until Sybase updates the datawindow graphic control so that it supports PNG.
3. I also could not replicate this. I could select a rectangle or round rectangle along with other objects and align them to each other. However, a selected rectangle or roundrectangle will not show it's selection because this object does not have a border property so they look the same.
4. Found this and fixed it. Actually most of the properties in the Properties window would not enable the "Save" icon until you clicked on another object. This is now fixed.
5. Correct. PowerHome now has a "FONTS" table in the database where I only populated the most common fonts which are nearly guaranteed of being on any system. I will see what is necessary to populate this table with the font's stored on the system.
Let me know if you come across any others.
Dave.

Heh! No harshness intended!
1. Normally, when you click a text box in PH, it selects everything, then, if you click again, the cursor appears where you clicked. The latter does not happen with any of the text boxes in the new CC Object Properties palette.
2. The File Open dialog lists BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, RLE, and WMF. Any others that are not supported?
3. Since there is no border, I just couldn't tell. Never mind!
4. Yay!
5. OK, N/P. Maybe allow users to preselect fonts somehow? I have a zillion fonts and bet that could be problematic.
New...
1. Web CC does not update until the CC in PH is opened.

2. Copying Action Text has issues. The copy is done, but the copy cannot be moved or resized until after saving.

Tony,
Ive got you now. I'll see what I can do to make the text selection work properly.
No other files should not be supported. Only PNG is what is currently not available and Im hoping that Sybase will someday soon fix this problem.
I'll probably have PowerHome do a FONT table population either at startup or user controlled from the Setup area of the Explorer.
Fixed the problem where the web CC is not updated automatically.
Will look at the Copy Action text issue.
Dave.
