Subject: [sqlite] SQLite GUI app that offers layouts
Hi all,
There seem to be several SQLite GUI apps around. But I haven't seen
any that offer building of layouts, ie positioning test frames for
fields on a page for form data entry or printing. This feature is
typical of proprietary apps such as FileMaker, AppleWorks, 4D etc.
Anyone know of a GUI app that offers layouts (ie form creation),
especially on a Mac (but even other platforms)?
DBManager Enterprise Edition (http://www.dbtools.com.br/EN/dbmanagerpro) can
do that. It has a form designer which allows to create and execute forms
like MSAccess does. This manager is for windows only and there is a TRIAL
Edition which you can test and see how it works.
Is there a conventional way to store the layout information in the
SQLite database itself, so it can be moved from one SQLite GUI app to
another, and retain compatible forms?
I doubt you will find something like. Usually the form is handled only by
the GUI which created it. For example, you can't execute MSAcess forms on
any other GUI. Because of that it doesn't matter if the form is saved in the
SQLite DB or not, since most GUI's will not know what to do with it.
Hope that helps,
COS

Hello Tom,
With my NGUI (http://www.gistek.net/ngui.htm) framework, I define a form
layout in XML and the form behavior (on events) in lua.
That info can be stored in a sqlite table and a registered sqlite
command could create the form on the fly, populate it and wait for user
input.
My framework in win32/windowsCE (pda) only, but I suppose the same could
be done with gtk or Qt.
Lua fits well with sqlite because its very compact
Best regards
