RebGUI and SQLite

 [1/2] from: drdoall::verizon::net at: 14-Mar-2008 11:42


Does anyone have any sample code for using Rebgui and Sqlite. I'm looking for samples on how best to populate rebgui fields from queries. Thanks Jim

Hi Jim, there are several options how to handle this. First, I don't think coupling GUI and database stuff directly is a good idea. I have used an intermediate layer that can translate from a record to a GUI and the other way. The idea is like this: - I put my GUIs (every form) into a single named context - I use three pseudo words to frame what gets into a database and how: START STOP END - Everything between START STOP into own column - Everything between STOP END into a name/value block stored in one column - I have a handler that walks the context and can identify RebGUI widget by type - Depending on the type, - widget-name/text, widget-name/data etc. is used to get the widget content - SHOW-TEXT, SHOW-DATA etc. is used to set widget content Hope this helps to give you an idea how to do it.
