Form Sorting

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/03/06 20:05
Field sort is alphabetic by field name
 
In Form, selected fields for that form appear in the order they are selected & it doesn't  seem able to move name fields into any logical order
The result is that in my Address Form, I may have something like the following
 
add 2
add 1
company
URL
item
contact
btel
ST
city
ctel
Zip
 
instead of something logical like:
 
item
contact
company
add 1
add 2
city
ST
Zip
btel
ctel
 
This makes entering data by form a little weird for me but I'm probably missing something here.

change background color conditionally

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/03/06 11:25
In a grid:
 
Columns =
 
Item
GTD = boolean
pending = boolean
 
What I want to do is:
 
When "pending" is checked, I want background color to turn yellow
 
How To?
 
Thank you.
 
Edited 03/06/09 12:16 pm: Figured it out but on updated conditional formatting info page I think you need to add that the color code must be in Visual Basic Hex; i.e. in ColorCop right click on color, select mode, scroll down to VBH.

Tree level formatting styles

Submitted by Anonymous on 2009/02/26 20:32
Hi,
I'm new to this program.  This suggestion relates to the tree pane.
 
There is great flexibility in applying various formatting (colour, size, font etc) to items, and the formatting can be different for each item.
I like this flexibility.
 
However, would it be possible to also allow for an alternative approach.
The suggestion is a means of selecting for each grid whether to allow any formatting or to alternatively use presets for each level.
If presets are chosen, you should be able to specify a different preset for each level (re font, size, colour etc).
When moving items to different levels, they should automatically adopt the formatting preset for that level.
 
An additional suggestion would be to have a toolbar button allowing you to select which levels to display (ala microsoft's Word outliner).

InfoQube Programming Environment

Submitted by Anonymous on 2009/02/26 20:00
InfoQube looks really good. I'm trying to evaluate whether I get involved or even use your product. As a software developer, I would obviously like to know what programming language / development platform you are using?
 
I found a remark that the current database is JET 4.0 and that you have plans for client/server database support. For many reasons, my vote for selection of a database for initial focus / beta testing would be MySQL.
 
Is there an off-line version of the user manual? I feel this is rather important. When i decide to embrace a new product, I retreat to a quiet location under a coolibah tree so that I can focus on learning the product. Often I won't have an internet connection and like having a user manual or reference material that I make myself work through from top to bottom. For example, a nice big fat juicy CHM or PDF file. (Yes, I RTFM - often twice!)

How to set up a common database (hosted on the net) for group work

Submitted by Armando on 2009/02/24 18:41
 -- something like the mantis synching, I guess.
 
What I'd like to do is to share an IQ database hosted on the net with 1 or or more co-workers. It would have to be possible to sync changes both ways : from the "client" to the "server" and from the server to the "client".
 
Is there a way to do that relatively "easily" ?
 
(I was also thinking of using a wiki, but... No hierarchies, not enough fields, etc. There might be solutions that I don't know about... If anybody has any ideas... Thanks a lot.)
