In some occasions it would be very comfortable for the users of my solution to have some sort of screen to look back what they did. Not a complete form but only the graphics of it… Compare it to a printpreview or pdf (but in the last case on screen)…
Would it be possible to either have a non modal window (like I asked before I guess) or something like a jpg (or other standard java readable picture) so I can write my own plugin method to pick up that jpg and show it non-modal on screen?
view there changes? is there a program which shows what you want?
Well in fact this comes from filemaker. The nasty thing about fm is different db’s for each table and individual gui’s for eacht one of them. In the case of my customer I noticed he used this as an advantage. Example:
He makes an invoice based on an order, inputs the ordernumber and bingo the invoice is ready. Now he does a last check by quickly navigating to the order and navigate back to the invoice to edit it or add something. Navigate back again and ready is the invoice.
Now I have to give him a dialog but this will cost him extra time and he can’t click forth and back…

VERY CRAZY IDEA: Make a form with a CONTROLLER that is the INVOICE data - and he can see the comparison on the screen.

MAN… I had this in my head as a concept but never thought about placing it as a controller !!!
VERY GOOD IDEA…
Thanks BOB (hope you weren’t offended TOO MUCH)
