Hi,

some of you wanted me to show my new app if it is finished.
So now we have it running and some customers are testing
it.
Because the current version is only german I made some
screenshots for you and will explain them.

First of all let me tell you about the app.

It is a intranet / customer relationship management-System
for mysql-databases. The windows frontend is completly
written in vds (with tons of vds dlls) and an online frontend
is written in php. Both have the same look and feel.

All of you who helped me so much on all the problems I had
are placed on the about box (you will see it in the screenshots).

The program(s) are now at round 15.000 lines of vdscode
and 9 Megabyte compiled files (including 2,3 MB dlls and some
mb of graphics).

Next version will become multilingual.

So, here you can see the screenshots

Please tell me what you think about it.

Bye, Fabian

That is a mighty big VDS program. Definitely the biggest I've ever seen or heard of. I've done a few that were pushing 1500, but 15,000 lines... that's huge! Very nice interface. I'd be curious to know how you bind the child windows within the main window. Question

Very impressive Exclamation

Looks great. I would also like to know how you binded the windows to the main window.

Well done Fabian Very Happy

Hi,

first I used simply Tommy's vdswnd.dll to bind the child.
But the problem was, that the childs covered the statusbar of
the mainwindow.
Later i tested many many code with Johnny and his gadget.dll.

Now I use a simple way: The Main window has a group element (without
text) from the menu to the statusbar.
All childs are binded with vdswnd.dll into this group element.

That works really cool.

Bye, Fabian

Wow

that's very impressive. I'm glad to see VDS was able to
swallow all that. I have one app that's upto about 6000 lines and around
10 windows and frankly I was getting a little nervous.

Good work Fabian.

Hi,

i am also nervous on handling many windows in one script,
so i made a simple trick. All bigger childs are own applications.

Nice work Fabian! Thumbs Up

Wow! How did you share data between the applications?

X-Tools

i have two ways of sharing data. Some apps are called
with commandline parameters (for example the datatree),
but most settings are written into a memorymap using
vdsmem.dll

It really is a huge app, good work Thumbs Up

You could use my Language DSU to let it support multiple languages Very Happy

If you want, I can change the things you want to let it suit your wishes... Wink

Hi Fabian,
This is some awesome work you have done here Smile

BTW I did continue work on the MDI interface with Gadget and I have come up with a easier way to implement this. If you like give me a shout and I will pass it on to you.
