Hi to everyone.
I started to rewrite my "Aquarium manager" with HMG4. I want show you this prototype and some source codes. I used OOP syntax because it's more comfortable to managing multiple windows.
You only unzip the file and run acqp000.exe (I hope it works fine...)
Little brief about usage.
- After menu selection, you always see a selection form.
- If you want to edit a record, you must select a row and press "click to EDIT" on the toolbar.
- If you want to add a new record press "click to ADD" on the toolbar.
- If you want select a row (while you are searching a code) press "click to SELECT" on the toolbar.
Little brief about "Classification".
This is a standard (or more used) method ( normally "Species, Genders and Families" are sufficient to classifying fishes for people like me
) and it is like a piramid:
Code: Select all
1 - Classes
1.1 - SubClasses
1.1.1 - Order
1.1.1.1 - SubOrder
1.1.1.1.1 - Families
1.1.1.1.1.1 - Genders
1.1.1.1.1.1.1 - Species
When you are editing one "Species", you can find a search button. When you press this button, you will see the "Genders" selection form; here, you can select the right code or edit or add. If you edit a row, you can find a search button. When you press this button, you will see the "Families" selection form. And so on; at the end you will be within "Classes" editing.
In other words, from the bottom ("Species") you are able to reach the top ("Classes")
Little brief about "Languages".
It's not yet totally implemented, but you can play with some items. Copy english.lng in other file int the same folder and edit file. Then run the program, select the new language (Tools->Language, the program must be restarted) and you can see some items in your language. How to editing example:
You can change "e&Exit" with "u&Scire" (italian translation)
I hope this little example show you the HMG4 powerful. Another example like Orchid by Ricci.
Cheers
