An advantageous agreement

As you have noticed, the names of all project elements are significant and follow certain rules. We can now receive dividends from these agreements:

• minimum software code
• maximum code reuse
• automation of user interface feature settings

We will also take a look inside our application so that the setting of access rights becomes global: from now on, any button can be added to the rights system. A mechanism will also be created to work with the modal version of the reference book to be used when editing forms.

An accordion tune

One of the popular elements of the user interface is the "accordion" menu, which takes its name from its similarity to the famous musical instrument. Of course, the full animation of our accordion will not work, but you can add style and convenience to the app.

We will start from the TableGrid component and with the help of the parameters of its properties and additional scripts, we will play the melody we need.

L10n. Internationalization

Continuation of the article "L10n. Origin"dedicated to the localization of the application.https://vk.com/@createmyvisualdatabasea … nalization

Dear readers!

I would appreciate your comments. It is very important for me to know your opinion on both the content of the articles and the orientation of the development of the educational project. Please, write in the comments what you think of this article. What more would you like to know about MVD programming? In the next article, I plan to consider an alternative internationalization option for a project in which localized resources are located in a database. Or is there more relevant information on the localization tool for existing projects? Waiting for your answers

I have resumed the practice of translating my articles into English. I have not been able to complete the full localization of my site yet, but I'm working on it )))

Chameleon

As you probably know, My Visual Database allows you to style your applications. A style is a combination of the appearance of the window title, buttons, and colors of other user interface elements. The style of the application is determined when creating the application by selecting the desired item in the main menu of the development environment. The list of styles is impressive, but still finite. In addition, the style chosen by the developer does not always match the theme of the operating system, which can make it difficult for the end user.

Let’s consider the possibility of programmatically changing the style of the final application, as well as expanding the style palette.

Component Explorer

The My Visual Database development environment holds a lot of secrets and mysteries. This is partly due to the lack of detailed documentation that would allow us to solve many problems, in particular – customization of system forms (“About the program”, “Authorization” and others) or their localization. In the article “Hello, world!” I posted as a bonus a couple of lines that change the appearance standard login form. It’s time to take a closer look at what MVDB has under the hood.

Cookbook

After preparing breakfast this morning, I decided that each day I would create one small project, or one next version of existing projects. Each such project will be distributed without restrictions and will be accompanied by a brief report on its creation. Therefore, it is quite logical to make your first project suitable for storing culinary recipes.

Revolution delayed

After the author of the My Visual Database framework stopped developing his project, calls are increasingly heard on the developer forum for a new project that would take the banner of the revolution in the production of applications for work with databases.

Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect — A small impact on the system can have large and unpredictable consequences, including in a completely different place.

Having completed work on the first version of the “ClassExplorer” program, I decided to improve it a little: to separate the program code into separate modules, and also to add the style management mechanism that was described in the “Chameleon” article. But these seemingly small changes led to the emergence of an improved technology for loading images for buttons and created a lot of hassle in setting up links between modules.

Cut Off All Excess

Like the sculptor Rodin, programmers regularly take a block of program code and cut off everything superfluous from it. At the same time, they have to think a lot, since each “cutting” makes the code more elegant, but increases the complexity of the entire composition.

Border Outpost

A single click is sometimes enough to launch an application. But sometimes the startup time is longer than the expected one or two seconds, and then the user may have the feeling that the program has frozen and something has gone wrong. This can be avoided by reducing the time until the first window appears, which is called the splash screen.

Code Alignment

At first it may seem that the formatting of the source text was invented by bores, but in fact, text aligned according to certain rules is easier to perceive, which means less time is spent studying it. And time, as you know, is the most valuable resource.

Simple Movements And Shapes

Continuation of the article “Production: accounting and control”

The basis of the program is accounting for the movement of commodity units along a certain chain of counterparties. Before proceeding to the implementation of forms, it is necessary to clarify business processes and flow patterns, which may differ depending on the chosen accounting policy at the enterprise.
