B4J Question <SOLVED>Where do I find a B4XTable reference, user guide, or help file?

[Mikelgiles]

Where do I find reference, user guide, or help file for B4XTable . I assume that the files would be the same for B4A and B4J wouldnt they?.

Why are you creating multiple identic threads?
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4xtable-tutorials.109728/

Start here:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ortable-searchable-customizable-table.102322/

and then if you have specific questions that the thread doesn't answer, do a search (eg: B4XTable Delete Row, or whatever), and if that doesn't resolve the issue,

then ask the forum, probably in a new thread. I think your questions are usually pretty good, but just in case... posts #1 and #2 at:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/for-new-er-members-how-to-post-a-question-issue.96964/

 

[Mikelgiles]

Sorry! I should have posted to the original thread. I will be more careful!

I think that I followed all of the rules in the post
'for-new-er-members-how-to-post-a-question-issue.96964/'

I am new to B4X but have been in software development for a very long time so I do understand 'look first before asking'. And I had already looked at
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ortable-searchable-customizable-table.102322/ and have searched, viewed, and downloaded most of the B4XTable posts. I was looking for a reference, user guide, or help file so I wouldn't need to ask a lot of questions in the forum.

... so I do understand 'look first before asking...

Agreed, hence the I think your questions are usually pretty good.

Sounds like you've got most everything. Three other places outside of forum posts that I often refer to are:
- the B4X Goodies spreadsheet,
- Klaus' booklets.
- Erel's videos
but it's late at night here and my eyelids are too heavy to chase those possible sources right now re: B4XTable.

Now that it is less late (or more early?) I had a poke around, and:

B4X Goodies mentions the following posts (which you've probably already found ;-)

B4XTable - Adding custom navigation buttons [B4X] https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-b4xtable-adding-custom-navigation-buttons.102362/
B4XTable is a paged based table. The UI is made of a horizontal xCLV. The data is stored in an in-memory SQLite database. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ortable-searchable-customizable-table.102322/

Klaus booklets cover B4XUI generally but not B4XTable specifically.

Ditto Erel's videos.

Depending on how deeply you delve into the topic and what you discover, perhaps this is a sign that you are the Chosen One to document your explorations and post the Ultimate B4XTable Tutorial.

Yes, I had viewed all of the B4X goodies mentioned, downloaded almost all of them and traced the running code on 3.

I have not viewed the Klaus booklet on B4XUI but have downloaded all of them so I will read it.

I have not viewed any of the videos because I am mostly deaf and have a very difficult time on videos. But I think that I will try a few anyway after my appointment with the hearing aid people Thursday.

I have found that the IDE will give me a lot of information on the methods and properties just like VB6 does.

And I truely to thank you for all the info!

Did you have a look at this application B4X Help Viewer?
It allows to read the xml help files for all four products.
It is explained in the first B4X Booklets.

I have not viewed any of the videos because I am mostly deaf and have a very difficult time on videos.

My initial thought to that was: no worries, the videos are on YouTube, and nowadays YouTube automatically adds auto/machine transcription to videos. It ain't perfect, but it's good enough, and anybody can go in and edit the mistakes.

But when I looked at the specific video to make sure I wasn't giving you dud info, well... it doesn't have transcription/subtitling, and it seems that the uploader has to enable/allow it. So I'll add that to the Wish List area of the forum, and perhaps magic might happen!

but might take a day or two for the auto-transcriptions to get to the pointy end of the waiting list.
