A few weeks ago I posted a query, questioning whether it would be better to build an application using the Class Designer or the AppWizard. This email received a number of replies (thanks to you all for the helpful responses).
I decided based on those replies that the Class Designer route was the way I would try to proceed. I am running on Win-XP, and want to build a MDI-based application that does the following : 1. Give the user a Log-in screen 2. If user logs in successfully build a menu for this user type. 3. The menu only appears on the Main Form. 4. The user selects menu options which load Class Designer forms as children of the main form. As a first step I looked at the appRecipes in dabodemo, and decided to try to build the equivalent using Class Designer. I have produced work-alike version of the recipes and reccats forms in the class designer. The forms use a modified version of the appRecipes myBizobjs code, as I wanted to keep the bizobj code separate from the ui code. I could now use a little help now with the following issues : 1. Trying to convert appRecipes myFileOpenMenu.py, I can't figure out how to modify the openForm method to call my cdxml files, and for them to be children of the main form. 2. I wanted to put the biz classes in separate files in a sub-folder biz, and the ui (cdxml etc) files in a sub-folder ui, but I couldn't get the import statments to work correctly. At present I import the bizobj code, in the CreateBizobjs method of the forms, as this is the only place I can get the imports to work. 3. I want to have some 'global' system information readily available in biz and ui code, i.e. user-name, user-type etc, but am not sure what the best way to achieve this is. Thanks Dave Nation P.S. Apologies for the rather long post. Any advice on how to reply to responses in the same message thread, as my previous attempt was posted as a new thread _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
