Re: Finding "mode" of a data base column...

The example is very much appreciated Norm. I was just in the midst of writing the procedure to call the data from the database column and loaded it to an array.
I will load your example into the IDE and give it a run and see what is happening in the code so I can follow the flow and see how I can ...

Re: Finding "mode" of a data base column...

So to understand this correctly (newbie), I would call the DB and then collect the data in the desired column and place it in an array then sort it to find the most entered number(s). Once it is loaded into an array there must be, or I hope there would be, an expression that can be used to get the ...

I am looking to write a formula to get the "mode" and or "multimode" using a column containing numbers (grades), in a database. Can someone point the way to the proper ...

Re: Looking for information - How to create 3D animation

I appreciate the help applePi... This is a great start to learning to understand how the 3D aspect of coding works and how best to approach it. The example of the globe with smaller spheres is a little sloppy in look and function, obviously, but it offers some insight to how and how no to code the ...

My apologies for such a broad question.... but I am looking to find information on how to develop a 3D animated piece to run within my current project.

Re: Populating the textgadget issue

I greatly appreciate all the replies, and I will go through each thoroughly to better understand what I have missed and/or misunderstood about my procedure and text gadgets. I should have mentioned that the window setup does have a textgadget named and in place for each column to be populated ...

Populating the textgadget issue

I am still rather new to PB and took the past year away from any code and I have decided to get back into it to learn more.

This maybe a rather simple and silly problem but the resolve escapes me and it has been nagging at me for a couple days now..... I am attempting to populate my textgadget with ...

Re: Comparing string gadget input

I appreciate the advice. I'll look up "array" in the help file and see how I can implement that because it seems to be the option to use in this scenario.

I have the project almost completed at this point. All functions are working, with the StringGadget() and GetGadgetText(). The biggest issue I ...

What I am currently trying to do is write a procedure to allow a user click the print button and print the schedule stored in the DB.

Currently I have a schedule that ...
