Eisenhower matrix (Page 1 of 2)

Derek, Adam

I was playing around with drag and drop on your project Derek and came up with the attached. You can click and drag a task from one quadrant to another. Try it out.

Hi Derek and EHW,

Thank you both for your very helpful sample projects....

What about adding an another table (Projects) so that each project can have their own quadrant.
I couldn't connect all tables as needed.

I have put together two versions of Eisenhower Matrix using Derek's and EHW's script.

Version 2 is RTF based simpler approach.

Version 3 is based on Derek's and EHW's samples. Added extra grid (main grid for projects). This way we can have Eisenhower Matrix for each projects separately. I have managed to connect grids using Derek's helpful past sample projects. However, I'm not sure if everything implemented correctly or not. All improvements, inputs and corrections are welcome.

ps/. I used one of my template project which includes app password (thanks to EHW) and some other features not directly relevant to this project.

I was trying to add memo display on grid by mousedown event.

Found the following code from Dmitry:

form1.memo1.Text := sqlexecute('select message from phonecalls where id =' +inttostr(Form1.TableGrid1.dbIndexToID(Form1.TableGrid1.GetRowAtPos(x,y))));

It works fine but when clicked on grid where a row doesn't contain data; it produces "List index out of bounds" message. Is there a way to eliminate it?

then what?

Hi Derek,

Thank you very much for the revised version showing new stuff - at least for me....
Truly appreciated............

Hi all,

Let's bring to light an example that I liked.

Ehwagner, Derek and AD1408,

In your project, I decided to simplify the script a little so as not to scare away users "X", "Y" and other "UPDATE" .
Something like this:

Indeed, an interesting topic. And I also learned something interesting for myself: that the OnMouseEnter event when the mouse button is pressed comes after the OnMouseUp event.

Do not call me a bore, but I do not quite understand why the named priority statuses (Important-Urgent, Important-Not Urgent, Not Important-Urgent, Not Important-Not Urgent) give advantages over the numeric ones (1-2-3-4)? And why are four lists on the screen more convenient than one linear list? I agree that the proposed criteria for separation of concerns are convenient, but the visual representation seems to me debatable.

Very true. He also has the ability to understand what you're asking even if you write it terribly. Furthermore, he always explains in a clear and understandable way what you are asking, sometimes even before you ask him.
This doesn't take anything away from the others who always strive to help those with a hard head like me and whom I will always thank.

It turns out that onMouseDown suspends the processing of the events onMouseEnter and onMouseLeave. For me it was a shock, but there is certainly a logical explanation for this.

Hi Adam,
You could try it something like the attached (a cut down version of a 'to do' list I knocked up a while ago but without the bells and whistles!) where you don't have to worry about co-ordinates etc.  It's enough just to know what grid you have 'moused' into.
Maybe you can incorporate it into your project.
Derek.
