Hi all,
at around 2:00 (earlier today) in the nigh, I woke-up and powered on the MacBook, Fired Xojo and decided to store Window related service data into a Table into a .sqlite file.
I recall nearly nothing from that, but I stored diverse Data Types:
a. A RealBasic.Point
(to restore the window Bounds)
b. Four Color Data Types (for the ListBox Add / Even / Missing and Folder Row background Colors),
c. The contents of a Comments field.
The Windows Bounds were stored as String in the Database, and I “rebuild” the values with four lines / NthFields in a local RealBasic.Point
, then I passed the value to my Property / or directly to the window (or both
)
The Color Data: I store them directly in the global properties (they were stored as String / retrieved as String)
The Comments field: String.
About RealBasic.Point
: what strategy would you use ?
For the record, I fill Rect_Bounds (and Colors / Comment too) like this:
Rect_Bounds = Service_RS.Field("Bounds").StringValue // Rect (4 integers)
[code] // Compute and store the Window Bounds
Dim myBounds As New Realbasic.Rect
myBounds.Left = Val(NthField(Rect_Bounds,",",1)) // x
myBounds.Top = Val(NthField(Rect_Bounds,",",2)) // y
myBounds.Width = Val(NthField(Rect_Bounds,",",3)) // w
myBounds.Height = Val(NthField(Rect_Bounds,",",4)) // h
// Store the values
prefServ_Bounds = myBounds // Now I am asking myself
Why this line !
// Apply the previously saved window location (x,y) and size (w,h)
Self.Bounds = myBounds // I also forgot to write this
[/code]
The code compile/runs fine in the IDE. It is called from this particular Open Handler, but it is not linked to something (Self.Bounds = myBounds
is missing
)
My question is: since there are far more Data Types in Xojo than what is available in SQLite, how do you code this kind of stuff ?
Note to self: when I code at night like that, be sure to call the Read method, else the added feature will not work.
Note #2: Be sure to check if the just added method (feature) is really coded and called and works as expected !
I forgot to call two new features (but I realized in time) and the Window Bounds
I completely forgot !!!
I just finished to code correctly / check the saved Bounds.
(Saved data were done several weeks ago
)
