App Developer - Text Array / Values Table

Post by jay_dee »

Hi,
I think the following would be very flexible and helpful to App Dev users.

A Display element that is a user defineable grid of textboxs. X Columns by Y Rows.
The user can then specifiy the Text String for each cell by the defined Row,Column.
This would allow very quick way to build a results table and show lots of information in a compact manner.
Name | Value | Units
Pot1 | 123 | Counts
Dist | 65 | mm

This would be very helpful for development and field problem solving as you can have a string of values being sent out over UART and displayed in App Developer in a table.
You could build something using individual elements but a table would be much quicker and cleaner.
J.

Hi, I noted from another post that App Dev may seen some more development soon, so a cheeky bump for this idea.
A simple user defined array of textboxes, x Columns * Y Rows.
With a macro that populates each cell with a text string or value.

Thanks for the reminder. Are you referring to Web Developer or PC Developer?

Ah... yeah. Mostly I thinking for PC developer. Which may be on a different development path to Web Dev. J.
