Hi All,
Just over 6 months later and I am back to have another look at Dabo as I
feel it has the potential to answer just about all my 'wish-list'!
First thing I did was work through the entire 'Step-By-Step Guide to Dabo'
example which worked perfectly.
Then tried to do a simple file maintenance screen based on an Sqlite
database I have and following the basic process of the 'Step-By-Step Guide to
Dabo'. Have done the following :-
1. Created a project folder of My Documents\Tutorials\LodgeBooks and ran
dabo.quickStart() there. Got all the sub-directories and py files as expected.
2. I then used the Connection Editor to create a connection to my
database (a small Sqlite .db3 file). Worked fine and tested OK. Saved the cnxml
file in the db sub-directory of my project (database file is also located
there).
3. Didn't create bizObj at this stage as I thought I would add controls
from the data environment when creating the ui and then answer yes when asked
if I would like to create the bizObj.
4. Then used ClassDesigner to create a form - added a dPanel (as I am using
Windows), added a vertical sizer of 2 slots and set the proportion of the
bottom one to zero (top is for the data fields, bottom for the navigation
buttons etc). I then right clicked in the top area and selected 'Add Controls
from Data Environment'. My new connection wasn't listed, but after selecting
Sqlite I was able to browse to my connection file and add it to the selection
list. I highlighted it and clicked next. Everything worked fine to this point.
At this stage the drop down list of tables is not populated so I cannot proceed
further. I have checked that the database is OK with Sqlite Administrator. I
have also tried saving everything and then starting up again with the same
result.
5. Don't want to be a pest, but I really want to give Dabo a good chance this
time! Am I doing something simple wrong?
Versions I have in use are :-
Python 2.5
wxPython 2.8
dabo 0.8.4
As you can see I have put no code in at this stage.
Regards
