Hello Tin,

Right now you can't download an older version. I can try to provide it... but, please, let me sometime. Certainly I can see the error that you get, and, I also know what is the cause. I am trying to solve it. I will inform here to you.

Hello Tin,

Can you, please, provide to me an sample app?

About your second question... maybe I can do something about... yes... I think can be a good idea.

Hola Julio,

Ninguna disculpa, hombre. Pero, yo pensaba que hablábamos de controles Inputs, botones, etc. Ciertamente, las imágenes son un poco diferentes, pues, acaso queramos que ocupen el ancho de la pantalla, pero, no queremos que se deformen. ¿Has echado un vistazo al ejemplo "Images" que acompaña a App Builder?

En todo caso, recuerda que puedes user la acción SetStyle para cambiar el estilo de la imagen, o acciones como "AddClass", para añadir classes CSS en tiempo de ejecución, o bien código CSS que puedes situar dentro de la opción "Inline CSS" de la app.

Hello Tin,

Well. Certainly you touch an interesting point: if our targets are a few (Android and iOS), yes, we can just take care about that targets and therefore don't think about other possible ones. Anyway... since App Builder produces apps to be run in all mobile and desktop browsers, IN ADDITION, to the hybrid apps that we can create with the help of Cordova, always is better to maintain us in some standard.... maybe you can think tomorrow in deploy your app into other platform too. But yes, you touch an interesting point of view Tin.

Hola Julio,

Pues,... francamente,... no termina de quedarme claro. Me explico. Si tú sitúas un control Input Text, por ejemplo, de modo que este ocupe toda la vista (a lo ancho), y, la app tiene la opción "auto escalar" establecida, entonces, dicho control ocupará toda la vista (a lo ancho), que, parece que es exactamente lo que quieres

De hecho, yo estoy probando ahora mismo algo así aquí (si es lo que creo que es, claro), y, parece funcionar correctamente, aunque, ojo, no en Internet Explorer 11, esto es, no en el navegador del depurador de AB. La siguiente imagen, de hecho, muestra una vista a pantalla completa con un control Input Text ocupando todo su ancho. ¿No es esto lo que necesitas?

Hello Tin,

Well... if you allow me, I want to say something. Certainly, the best is that we stay in some standard, for example, use icons or images, but not both things, if they can't be "joined" exactly in the way that we wanted.

The point is that we can use lot, lot of possible ways to do the things, so, for example, maybe we no need to be so far with an button: we can use an icon, a good label, maybe, or an image, if we wanted.

What's is the point here? The point is that doing the above we use an CSS that has been tested across lot of browsers and devices. We can change this CSS to suite our needs? Of course we can! However, we must take care about... because something that works in a browser, may don't work in another.

Said that, yes, certainly we can create new entire themes for App Builder, just by placing it in the right configuration folder. :-)

Hello Tin,

With some time, I want to improve the forum, of course, for example, implementing some kind of "cookie login". The new forum have one big advantage: it's integrated in the website, no more an thirdparty software, so, for example, you can login it in the website (to view your purchased licenses, upgrade it, download previous major releases, etc.) and the same login works for the forum too. In fact, previously you must to login twice, Tin, one for the forum, and another one for your customer area.

It's a question of time that I improve the forum, but certainly I am busy with other projects too! :-)

Hola Julio,

Respecto de la primera cuestión, deberás darle un color de fondo a la vista que quieras poner a pantalla completa. Por ejemplo, puedes usar la pestaña Estilo del inspector de objetos, previa selección (clic) en la vista, y, establecer la propiedad "BackgroundColor" con un valor "#fff" (sin las comillas), por ejemplo. No necesitas usar la acción SetViewSize.

Respecto de la segunda cuestión, no estoy muy seguro de entenderla, pero, igual esto te sirve de algo en todo caso: las vistas de la app se sitúan dentro de un contenedor (DIV) con una clase clase "appView", y, dicho contenedor, además, se identifica con el nombre de la vista, es decir, tiene un atributo "id" que concide con el nombre de la vista.

No sé si esto te sirve de algo o no Julio. Añade alguna pregunta o detalla un poco más si lo ves necesario.

Hello Tin,

Ok! I will add it as a sample (number 174) in the next App Builder release. Thanks Tin! :-)

Hello Tin,

Thanks for sharing! I tested it and certainly works like a charm. :-)

Hello Tin,

Interesting stuff... thanks for share it with us Tin!

P.S. Sorry for the problems while edit a post here in the forum. Certainly I must do something about when possible.

Hello to all,

I think, if use variable to store data before view change can resolve this problem too.

The fact is that... what is the problem? :-) Because I think this is not a problem, but, the expected behaviour. Supose you want to alert the user before change to another view... well... you can do it... for example, you can use an MessageBox, and, only if the user press the Ok button (for example), you proceed with the view change, and, not in other case.

But I am only place here an "possible scenario"... and an possible "approach"... depend on what we wanted we can do one thing or another, but, the "AlertBox" problem described above is the expected behaviour... not really a problem to be solved, but something that works like expected.

Hello Tin,

No, you don't miss anything. :-) AB do not provide an Switch action, but the If, IfEx, Else and ElseIf actions. Of course, if you wanted to use the Javascript Switch, you can do it, between the StartJS and EndJS actions, that is, using Javsacript code.

Hello John,

About the first question, if you need to use pure Javascript to shown a view, you can do in this way:

About your second question, you describe the expected result. When we shown another view, the DOM of the previously one is removed, and, therefore, actions like AlertBox can't work like you expected.

Depend on what you want to do, you can do one or other thing. For example, if you try with the Alert action, you can see that, in this case, the alert is shown as you expected. But may you can also take other approach... depend on what you wanted...

Hello John,

Supose we have an Input1 control in View B. Then, even from View A, we can get the value of that control in the variable [Input1.Value].

On the other hand, I supose that you are showing View B with the ShowDialog action. If so, certainly the View B don't fit all the screen (this is how dialogs or modal views works), however, the user can't reach the View A until the View B are opened.

However, if you wanted that the View B occupy the space of the View A, then you can / must use actions like ShowView and ReplaceView, instead of the ShowDialog action.
