Is there already a possibility to use a 'list' field type (with
FieldSpecEditor or else)?
I need that e.g. for 'set' types or for lists from other tables.
No, there isn't. I've thought about this in the past, and could
never come up with a clean interface for specifying the list source.
I thought of adding a pre-defined method to the form that would be
called with the field name when the form was created, which would
then return the list of choices for that field. It would then be up
to the developer to code that method in the generated form code with
the appropriate logic. But I never got around to adding it, and then
Paul took over the AppWizard development, and I haven't thought about
it since.
What do you think about that solution? If a field is designated
as a 'list' type, the developer would have to be responsible for
writing method code that would accept the field name as a parameter,
and return a list to be used to populate the list. We could even
specify two types of list: 'list' and 'ddlist', with the former
creating a ListBox and the latter creating a dropdown list.
