Hello Friends,

Recently I am creating an app for small retail shop. It's a very ordinary software, still under development. I created only master file setup of this project.

One thing is uncommon: It can be compiled with both HMG and Minigui Ext (with only one line change in utils.prg).

Please download and compile Please send your feedback. I really need it for learning

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for sharing Sudip. I will check and revert back.

Great Sudip! Will surely look into it with keen interest and revert accordingly.

Hello,

Now I am adding some triggers with the database. Moreover saledtl table need some changes. So, for the next update you need to delete saledtl table from the database having names like Data20102011.sqlite for fin yr 2010-2011.

Thanks Sudip! I downloaded your porject. Don't you love it when source code compiles right away? I'm going back from a long time ago to XBase/Clipper syntax and your source is very helpful! I'll dig deeper at home. Loved the clean interface.

Oh one question Sudip, you don't use the IDE right? you created the windows in code directly I guess (clever usage of the += to increment the row..). Does it get too hard? I'm now using a mixup of things, IDE + manual touching the FMG, but I like the idea to have the visual stuff separately.

I'm glad to be not only one who prefer to create the forms inside IDE. Not so long ago I was also surprised ( http://hmgforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1284 ), now I'm used to. Nevertheless, I stay with IDE Besides, some 'manual touchig' you can speed-up with my freeware called 'FMG-tool' http://hmgforum.com/download/file.php?id=1319

Hello Charly, Cznary,

Thank you very much for your interest in this project

HMG IDE form designer is an excellent tool. In my very humble opinion, hand coded form may be more powerful and flexible. In hand coded form, I can re-use my codes (eg., prod.prg).

Moreover, I used hand coded from (instead of .fmg), as I can use it both with HMG and Minigui Ext (as their .fmg structures are different).

Please note that this software is incomplete. I am working on this project right now. SQLite has some good features of trigger, data integrity etc, which I learned from Rathi. I am working on this.

I am a learner of HMG. All your feedbacks will be very much helpful in this learning process

Hello Friends,

Here is some update:

1. Triggers and referential integrity added in the database (if you have old one, you need to drop Sale and Saledtl tables). (Thank you Rathi )

2. Using AddField() UDF. Which is helpful to add field to an existing table (if exists) (s_prod() function in Retailer.prg ref Sql.prg)

3. Some modification in code for Product group (prod.prg)

4. User can add new product during SKU setup. It shows re-usability of hand coded form (prod.prg). (In future we can use polymorphism here )

Please download and compile the code. Please don't forget to send your feedback.

Thanks in advance.

I've not yet tested your this 2nd release.....have gone through with your 1st upload of this project. My feedback is based on the codes supplied by you initially.

The application looks decent!

I liked it very much, the simple & the clean way to enter into the Product Group Entry from the middle of the SKU Entry and coming back to SKU Entry.....very simple & clean design and functionality. Good job!

Help List - with speed search needed. Your lists (invoked from 'Find') seems not to support speed search of items/elements.

And yes thanks a lot for sharing with us.........
