Child windows

[Stephen G.]

Well guys, I got the official word directly from IR.
child windows will only be available in the next addition of AMS.

------
"Child windows is what we are planning for the next release of AutoPlay. We do not have an expected release date yet so it is likely a little ways off."

Oh well, It looks like we are on our own for a while.
Anybody got a solution? ..other than standard pre-built pop-up window DLLs?

This update is in development right now. We are aiming for a release in September.

I hope it's all working fine for you with the development.
Introducing big new features always makes one nervous!

[Solmos]

Only days...

one preview please

[Mark]

All right Solmos, here is your one preview.

Please remember that this is currently in development and anything you see here could change before the final release.

[Solmos]

thank you very much, I imagine a system so simple to do.

I hope that is compatible with a lot of objects (image,label, checkbox, listbox, shape, etc.) and would be perfect

(sorry for my bad English)

I'll take it as a birthday present, Now I need a maintanece plan, Mines expired a long time ago waiting for this to be released.

Here is a very early screenshot of a sub dialog in action.

It looks great!!!!! Will it work like a fully functional AMS Project Page?
(including all actions, objects, grids...etc)
If so, bravo!! I'm sure you will make a lot of AMS users very very happy.

[Adam]

Yes I believe that it has all of the events, actions and objects that pages have. We are very excited about this release

Are they child windows of a page and therefore modal to the page? Can you have a dialog opened from one page, then jump to another?

Exciting stuff!!

[Solmos]

and whether the new update puts support for sqlite 3 and would be perfect.

Could give some more detailed history of changes to the new version?

What would make the child windows perfect would be the ability to make changes to the parent page simultaneously.

Example:
Parent Project Page - holds financial information of a customer account.
The user clicks a button that opens the child window.
Child Window - the user adds new information and clicks "update"
The child window would close while performing actions that would make changes to the Parent Page without the need to use timers.

[Dermot]

Exciting stuff indeed. Can't wait.

[Imagine Programming]

This is really nice, can't wait either
