Good morning all,
Thus far in my WD21 learning curve I've only created non-relational applications. Now I need to create one with 3 related tables and don't know what is ahead of me. I use the RAD pattern to generate the generic windows + add/edit/delete code; in my previous (Clarion world) the RAD would generate the same - the Form window for the primary table would have tabs for each of the children tables with the requisite add/edit/delete buttons to add related records in the children tables.
Also in my previous world, it was very easy to display the parent/children table listboxes onscreen - when a new record was selected in the parent listbox the related children listboxes would refresh to show related data. Making this work was only 3-4 mouseclicks within the template extensions.
I looked through the majority of WD21 example apps to see if something is provided 'in the box' to dive into and see how WD21 handles this common requirement - and came up empty. The question is did I skip over a sample PC Soft application that shows the Windev way of doing this, and which sample app should I be playing with to learn?
