LiveCode Forums.

Hello everyone.

I have made my app (for Windows) using RealStudio and would now like to port it to the iPad (using LiveCode).
Before I pay over £500 to buy LiveCode, could someone please advise me if this is possible:

(Please excuse the RealStudio terms and phrases - I know nothing about LiveCode)

My app would be for iPad only, and consists of 1 window, containing a ListBox which reads data in from a SQLite database.
I also need a button which will show another popup window - whereby the user can edit the selection in the listBox and then when saved - edits the database entry.
I also need the database to be searchable via a third window.

Is it also possible to have alternating row colours for the ListBox (or whatever it is called in LiveCode).

I really want to buy LiveCode but obviously need to be able to achieve my goals.

Thank you all in advance for any help / advice offered.

Hi RicSum,

all this is possible with LiveCode
For alternating row colors, use a DataGrid to display your data.

Danke Klaus,
Are there any database code example projects which can be downloaded?

If you already installed LiveCode you will find it on your HD!
In Livecode -> Menu: Help -> Example Stacks and Resources -> Folder: Example: SQLite Sampler.rev

Ah, and welcome to the forum!

With the latest version of LiveCode you don't even need a datagrid to set alternating rows, you can set a different background color on each line/paragraph.
