Dynamically adding fields to a form

[nicoloose]

Happy New Year ALL,

I am trying to create an invoice detail type scenario where I can add multiple lines of the same information to a form. The detail can have one to 5 detail lines. Can anyone suggest how I can do this? Ideally I would like to start off with one detail line where I would choose a product from a drop down list, enter the information such as cost, qty etc and then click "Enter another Line". Another detail line would be presented to the user and so on?

Many thanks
Nic

the most simple method i know is this

Code: Select all

put "aa" into line 1 of fld 1

check the dictionary with keyword "add"

hehe hi klaus
well some times i forget some lines
btw the question from the friend above is add field in the thread but the post is for lines
so here is what i use for field creation with code

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  // Make a dialog
  ask "please enter the name of field" with "ok" and "cancel" 
  //get the result
  if it is not empty then
    //put the result into array
    put it into t1
    //create the field
    create field "fld1"
    //put the field in the card
    set the rectangle of fld "fld1" to 80,100,200,200
    //set the name into the name you get from the ask dialog
    set the name of fld "fld1" to t1
    //if is cancel exit
  else
    exit mouseUp
  end if
end mouseUp
