Hello tin,

Certainly, we can't do what you wanted in the current "table" Report. Probably with some hours of work we can achieve something like that using the "grid" kind of the Report control, instead of the "table" one. However, I decided to put two new designtime variables "Header" and "Footer" into the Report control.

These designtime variables (we can't set it at runtime, but we can use variables inside) allow us to put some contents (the table header, for example) at the beginning and at the end of the Report main contents. You can update your AB copy and take a look at the new Report10 application sample in order to view these new variables in action.

Hope this can be useful for you tin!

Hello tin,

Please, provide more information or some little app sample. In other way it's difficult to help. Are you tried with the Report* samples? You know we have two kinds of Reports: table and grid? What of them you are trying to use? Sorry for the questions, tin!

Hello Joshua,

The "Event" variable is available for our application, views and controls events. In our case we must use the Input control "Event" variable of course. :)

Hello Ade,

No problem. With a more or less good descriptive forum's thread title and my little explaination, may this thread can help to someone in the future. :)

Hello Ade,

At a first view, the "sprintf" function format string appear good, then, if you get "empty" strings, there cannot be other reason than the variables "$name", "$email" and "$comments" are not filled as you expected.

Hello Ade,

Apache Cordova is not required at all in order to create the appropiate configuration file, BAT files, icons, splashs, etc. If you can't get such files created (and you wanted for that) the only "issue" is to check the appropiate CheckBoxes in the app's options dialog, undert the Cordova tab.

Then you MUST save the application, and then use the Build command, never the Debug, since this latest one never create files who never use. So open the application, Ade, assert the appropiate CheckBoxes are checked, then press the options dialog's "Ok" button, and after that save the application by pressing the Disk button or just using the CTRL+S shortcut keys.

Hello Ade,

I did try that before but I am not sure how to use Label.change colour when hover (Focus tab) the Label control.

In fact we no need to do nothing more than set a "color" for the Label from the "Hover" inspector tab. No more than that. If we need something more, of course, we can always use some CSS rules using the App Inline CSS option or just some prepared CSS stylesheet file. :)

Hello Ade,

We probably want to use something like the "OpenWindow" action since our apps can runs in platforms like Android, in which we can't simply open links as we do in the browser. Links can be good inside IFrames (in fact works like a charm in the Android platform, for example), and, if you need to use it... you can use the HTML control to put whatever link you wanted.

About the "Click event", I refer to the Label's "Click event", you know, the place in which we can prepare some actions to be called when the user click or tap the Label. This event exists in almost all controls too.

Hello Ade,

What about use the Label's "Click event" and the "OpenWindow" action? Or the HTML control... :)

Hello Joshua,

The "TAB" key is the common key to change between controls in the web world and also in the desktop world. Is the standarized way and probably what the user expected. Can we use another key in order to change between controls? Yes, of course we can do it.

Inside the Inputs' controls common KeyUp event, for example, we can access the controls' "Event" variable, who contains information about the pressed key, therefore we can look for the ENTER key and give the focus to the control we wanted.

Take a look at the below application sample, which must be also included in the next App Builder release:

TabWithEnter.zip

Hope this can be useful for you Joshua.

Hello tin,

Since we are talking right now on the support chat, I am not sure about what to say here. :)

Apparently FastClick is running well, since they works in all environments, and also on iOS. Maybe the results is not what you expected... but certainly it's difficult to measure 300 ms of time... In my opinion we no need to worry about this, since we are following the AngularJS instructions to integrate FastClick in our applications.

Hello tin,

Please, let me if the FastClick integration works as expected! On the other hand, I remember trying with Hammer in the past. Certainly I can take a look again. Anyway FastClick is not updated... because probably they no need to be updated! Don't touch the things if everything works well! Seriosly, AngularJS recommend the usage of FastClick, so I think this is the choice now. :)

Hello tin,

Ok! A little more about this! I know about the "300 ms" issue in the past and for that the AngularJS's Touch module is integrated in the App Builder applications. Taking a look at the module's documentation today I can see a deprecated note about the ngClick directive provided by the ngTouch module: they are now disabled by default, and therefore we need to activate it by ourself.

We can do it, however, AngularJS recommend now the usage of the FastClick library to deal with the 300 ms, so this is what the new App Builder releases does, that is, now our App Builder applications incorporates the FastClick library from the scratch. We no need to do anything, that is, we can continue working like until now, but behind the scene our applications uses FastClick now.

Please, tin, update your App Builder copy and try it. And thanks for your suggestion! :)

Hello tin,

Thanks for your research. Please, let me to take a look. I will inform here about any progress. :)

Hello Kasito,

What you must to do is in principle quite simple. You can perform an HTTP call using the HttpClient control. This control offer us two events: "Success" and "Error". The first one is fired if the server response is good. The second one is fired if the server response is bad or never exists. So you can use these events in order to decide what the app must be do next.
