Afternoon all (at least it's afternoon here)
I have a question for the designers out there -- not worried so much about the coding specifics right yet...I'm needing to do the following:
1) Prompt user for entering new data or retrieving a set of data from a database
2) Assuming new data, then I need to prompt for
a) A unique identifier for this data
b) Number of sets of data for this identifier
c) Number of rows of data per set
e) The actual data
For example, there's a large group of data with it's own name called FLOWPATH, which consists of, say, 3 sets of data, each with it's own unique name (FLOWPATH_1, FLOWPATH_2, FLOWPATH_3), and then each set has, say 5 rows of data with 8 data elements per row.
I've tried a couple of different iterations with Designer to handle all of this but I'm not happy with anything I've done. I've been looking for dialog examples of anything similar but again, not with much luck. Has anyone ever done anything similar and if so do you have widget/layout recommendations?
The DB table design consists of a primary key (the initial name) in a parent table along with the number of data sets and number of rows per set, then the child table holds 2 indexes, one for the data set and one for the row of data within the set along with the data items, so I thought I could leverage that with maybe a combo box...
Any suggestions welcomed!
