Probably a less noticed, but surely not a less wonderful feature of Mendix 2.5: The search box!

Sometimes it happens that you are working on a large project and you simply can’t remember which folder you have stored that microflow in… and large projects can have hundreds of microflows. The new search box just above the properties box now allows you to search your entire project for the keyword you have in mind. Search box added: application development simplified!

Did you know that in Mendix 2.5 you can now give a data view a target to listen to? That’s right, you simply have to select a data view and then go to the “listen target” property in the properties box and select a data grid to listen to.
