This is too vague. What do you want to achieve?
I'm thinking about a programm that:
- opens a database
- generates form and source for each table
- uses mapping db-type -> gui component
- uses configuration
If you ever used the "Database Form Wizard/Assistant" of Openoffice you
know what I want. Not exctly that way, but in result a basic form that
can be trimmed to fit by hand afterwards.
Yes !
Please consider donating that to Lazarus :)
If you do, here some ideas:
- Allow both grid/detail form.
- Let the user control to some extent the kind of control that is generated.
- Having the ability to specify lookup controls for foreign key fields are
important.
That may include creating a new dataset that fetches data from the referenced
table.
I have created such a wizard for Delphi (closed source) and it really helps creating
forms very quickly. Having this available in Lazarus would be a real asset.
