That way of doing things has been helpful to us with our desktop app, and it would be good to know whether we could do anything similar in the new framework or whether we should just bite the bullet and write our own low-level methods to achieve something similar so that we can share as much business logic as possible between our desktop and iOS projects.
Hi Tom. I think the definitive answer is bite the bullet. The new framework is where it is going and I think we just have to adapt to it. That is what I had to do above. Instead of trying to use the actual recordset to bookmark the records, I had to add another table that would act as the navigation control through the records, and bypass the reloading the recordset all together. Its not pretty but it works.
Thanks, James. I’m working under the assumption that this is the case, but just wanted to try and get a response to my Feedback case from Xojo as to whether it’s just that they haven’t got around to adding that functionality to the new framework, or whether they consider the database part to be “done”.
