How to get recent data on control

[Pankajusic]

Hi All,

I need to create an GUI which has some interactive inputs. I want to keep the data entered by the user as cookies so that when user comes back to same GUI with the key focus on the control, the control displays the recent data and user can select form the display or user can enter a new data in the control.

Can you please suggest me some option that consumes less memory.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you want a Ring control.

Hi Yamaeda,

Thanks for the reply. you can say I need ring control kind of control but in case of ring control you will define the elements of ring control in design time.
but i need to use cookies like features which is readily avilable on internet based application. e.g. if you see any web based form when you key focus any control and it displays the list of previous values and you are allowed to select form there.

No, you can access a ring controls properties and write to Strings[] property in runtime, or Strings and Values[] if you dont want sequential values.

You just have to decide where you write the values. An ini file is often used.

Thanks for reply...

Writitng data in .ini file will work in case of ring or combo control but we can do the same kind of operation with string control or numeric control.

I already use similiar technique in one small application where I am using a combo box control. I want to implement this functionalities on string control or numeric control.

That's definatly a ring control (or enum, but it cant be changed in runtime). 🙂

Ring controls can be changed in runtime only Enums can't. 🙂

For any control the default value can be set through vi scripting.

I read that the other way. May be my compiler problem 😛
