What are you working on?

Well, everyone is back in the office today.

Mostly, I'm building the Linux releases for 1.1.3. After I finish that, I'll probably work on getting the Delete key in templated LEs to work a little better.

I'm packing 1.1.3, writing up change logs, prepping the download area, etc. Also, getting ready to head out on Thursday to do the Sesame classes in Toronto and Dallas.

Well, we got 1.1.3 built and packed up and I still had a little time to spare, so I took care of some details with entry templates, mostly dealing with what the LE returns to Sesame if the user opts not not fill the template whatsoever.

But, I still haven't figured out how to get the delete key happy with templates. Guess I should say, "get templates happy with the delete key." I may have to intercept the delete key if there is an attached template, before the key is acted on, and let the templating function manage the delete.

Well, I got the delete key issues worked out for the entry tremplates. So now I am working on a standard SBasic "include" file  that will define a number of the constants that are frequently used in SBasic built-in functions and subroutines. In 2.0, SBasic has both the "#include <filename>" construct and the "#define NAME constant" construct. Both of which should help make SBasic a lot more readable.

Well, so far fixed the two reported bugs in 1.1.3. Fixed a problem in 2.0 where the specified they wanted a table widget, but neglected to give it any LEs. Gotta get the template stuff to be mode sensitive.

Well we got that hot fix done. It fixes the two bugs reported so far in 1.1.3 and is available from tech support if you need it.

I got the templating stuff to respect modes. If there is anything I hate more than modes, it might just be templates. Combine them and I am not in a very good mood.

A few months ago - just to see if I could, I built a version of Sesame that has no modes (no search mode, no update mode, no add mode). It simply had the form and commands you could issue from the form. It worked very well. You simply filled out the form - then if you wanted to search using the form, you issued the "search command", if you wanted to post the form, you issued the "post command", etc...

Deemed too different from Q&A. Oh well.

Well folks, I'm off to Toronto and Dallas! I'll see some of you there, but depending on internet service at various places, I may not see the rest of you for a week and a half or so. Have fun!

Today I got a fresh start and spent most of the day working on a generic table widget class for internal use - probably in SDesigner.

So what are you working on?

Worked on 2.0 Print Only reports, the 2.0 Programming Editor, and a little bit on my Log Reader today. I may end up taking the Log Reader home and look into the ability to Save the log file out to a text file.

Well the Log Reader can now save a log file out to a text file. The columns are separated by Tabs and each line is a new error. The errors are sorted in descending order the same way they are in the Log Viewer and if you filter the viewer to only show certain errors such as Server Notes, then only those errors will print out to the file.

Well I just finished porting the Log Reader over to Linux. 

Earlier I made a minor change in the 2.0 Programming Editor and a minor change in the current Server Admin Log browser.

My day was not a productive as Ray's. My kid has the flu and I was worried about her. But I did manage to use my new generic table widget to build a primitive "data dictionary" that can show you all of the LEs that comprise your form, and the internal fields associated with each of the LEs - forty columns in all. One row per LE.

Ray thinks it should have sort capability (which will be a little weird in that some of the LEs "brace" sets of other LEs - like tabsets, menus, and radio button groups, etc...) and if this allows sorting it will show these as "unbraced" which would be mildly missleading.

I'm considering allowing some of the columns to be edited - especially columns like tooltip and custom help. That would allow the designer to set these in "bulk" - one right after another. I doubt I can tie this into SDesigner's "undo" functionality - so it would have to be used carefully.

BTW: Erika reports that her Sesame integration class in Toronto went very well.

Well I got the column sorting working on the generic table. I also built some low level utility functions into it to make further development a lot easier.

Its still a bit primitive, but here are a couple of screen shots of the table in action as a data dictionary for a form (in Customers.db). If you click on any of the column headers it sorts by that column. Right now the sort is always via string comparison. My next task is to add a "column type" array, so it knows to sort numbers numerically.



Scrolled over a few columns - there are 40 in all.
