Hello,

In a bit. Eating dinner right now.

Mike

Maybe we need to get in touch tomorrow... here is too late... anyway I wait a little until end some other tasks.

Hello Mike,

Please, download Team Viewer and write me an email telling your ID and password. Doing that I can connect to your computer to take a look personally. Do you wanted that?

Hello Mike,

Ok. This is quite rare. Please, uninstall App Builder (of course take care with your apps project files) and assert you delete their installation directory (by default at "C:\Program Files\David Esperalta\AppBuilder"). Then download the program again from the below link:

https://www.decsoftutils.com/download/appbuilder

Next, install the downloaded release, choose one of the included samples and try to debug it. If the problem persist, please, tell me.

Hello Mike,

First of all, sorry for the inconveniences. Certainly a past AB release introduce certain error with the updater, which put us in the situation of download the new release manually. The error is fixed, then, if you are downloaded the current version, then you can continue using the updater for the newest releases.

About the problem with the localhost... I did not remember any change in App Builder around that. Maybe the problem is caused if you have running another local HTTP server in your computer. App Builder uses their own HTTP server for debugging, and they can enter in conflict with others, if uses the same port.

Take a look at the App Builder program's options. Look for the Debugger tab and then try to change the default "9999" port to other like "9998". Close App Builder and start it again. If the problem persist, please, provide me a capture of the application with the error. And anyway take a look at other HTTP servers running in your computers and what port they uses.

P.S. Maybe you don't remember to install a pure HTTP server like Apache or other, however, note than programs like the NetBeans IDE, Android Studio and others can setup an HTTP server for their work.

Hello Mike,

I think the HttpExecute action usage is not correct, since they expect the name of an HttpClient control. On the other hand, the IFrame control allow us to shown certain URL in an IFrame, and we must use the IFrame Url variable to do it, for example:

About the DropDown control, we must act with the above in the mind, that is, check the user's choosed item and set the IFrame Url accordingly.

Hello Marcel,

Of course you can use certain kind of password access to an application's view, however, you can't guarantee no body take the application's code and change their behaviour in order to access such application's view. This is not an App Builder problem, but, something that occur in any HTML5 client side application.

So you can do it, Marcel, and probably someone like my mom never discover how to change the app's code, etc., and therefore never enter in the "secret app's view". However anyone who really wanted it... and put certain efforts... probably can do it, and then your "secret app's view" can be viewed.

Hello,

Thanks Samuel! You are very kind. :)

Hello Jopseh,

Take a look at the IfEx action help reference. We must write something like this:

Hello Marcel,

Thanks for your interest in my work at App Builder. What we need to consider in the first place, is we are dealing with client side applications. Then, except in some platforms (and after obfuscate the code when possible) our app code is visible to everyone and everyone can change it with malicious intentions.

So any kind of authentication must be made in the server part, if the application requires it. For example, if your application deal with certain database, and you need to performs HTTP calls to communicate with such database, provide in the HTTP call the user name and password provided by the user.

Then the server check the user name and password and never provide information access to unauthenticated users.

Taking this in consideration, depend on the platform, and the application itself, we can try with one or another approach.

Hello,

Ah! Thanks, simple than I thought.

You're welcome Ade!

Hello Joseph,

Please read about the ".Hidden" variable in the "Common control variables" topic in the help.

This variable can contain a non empty string value in order to indicate that the control must be hidden. An empty string value for this variable mean the control must be visible.

We can use something like the below one to hide a button:

And something like that to show it:

Another possible way is to use the Hide, Show or Toggle actions.

Hello,

Take a look at this attached sample: 10SecsTimer.zip

The approach followed is to start a Timer with an interval of 10000 milliseconds (10 seconds) and use the Timer interval to active/change to another view.

Hello Joseph,

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I did not want to generate any kind of misunderstanding.
I will certainly follow the "rules" of this forum next time.
Sorry again.

Thanks
Joseph Caristena

Please don't apologize! In fact here is no "rules" (only some polite is required) but, certainly it's difficult to help without some kind of details about the problems. I am sorry if I sound a little "rude". There is no my intention at all Joseph! So please continue posting here about your issue in order to try to help you.

Helllo Joseph,

Hi,
My script did not work.
Reason why I am asking if it is possible.

Any comments, scripts or samples ?

Thanks
Best
Joseph Caristena

"My script did not work" do not means anything in a support forum. If you have some problem, please, refer here the specific problem, the error message you get, the steps you follow to reproduce the problem, a capture of the error, the error console messages and even an small application sample which shown the problem.

In conclusion, all the information you can provide can help to help you...

Hello Joseph,

Are you try it? In principle I can't view any problem to maintain a Timer running and checking the Location in some time interval.
