Data Aware Gadgets

[blueb]

One of the things I liked about Visual Basic was the ability to create and use 'Data bound Gadgets'.

Suggestion:

Create additional Gadgets that are 'Data Aware' and can be `connected` to PureBasic databases

e.g.
dbAwareOptionGadget
dbAwareEditorGadget
dbAwareComboBoxGadget
dbAwareDateGadget
dbAwareStringGadget
dbAwareEditorGadget
etc.

Here's a fellow who is creating a new IDE for PowerBasic, who developed the VB-like ability to use data bound controls...

We do something similar with our in-house data dictionary package. Each entity in the data dictionary has its own rules and attributes.

At the push of a button we can generate complete applications that use data aware classes. Very little code needs to be hand written, and many applications require no hand coding at all.

Living in a data centric world, this would be a real plus for Fred to integrate this into the PureBasic package.
