The OTB Query widget is already helpful but there are some features missing or I just don't understand well how to configure it better. I have a couple of variables the user should be able to set ranges. I used the expression set to combine those values and say "All of the following expressions in this set are true" to get in the end the parcel that meets all requirements. In general that works fine but... 1) My user doesn't know the range of the values that are available. That's why I would find something like these sliders in the business analyst online very helpful: 2) Maybe one or two of the variables don't matter to my user. But in the Query tool for all variables a value is required. Even when I put unique values and one of the values is being blank it is not accepted as a choice. Thus it would be great if the user could decide not to use this variable either by just leaving it blank or by unselecting it like it is possible in Business Analyst. Do you know of a widget that is getting closer to what I am looking for? I have to admit that I'm very new to this field of (customized) widgets for the app builder. So here are two more things I would be interested in: 3) Is something like a cascading select possible in a widget? For example if the size is the most important variable, then for the other variables only those values should be available that match the desired size. Or if someone is looking for a plot in the Eastern Province then the other attributes should adjust accordingly to show only the available values for plots in the Eastern Province. 4) Could I do "drag and drop" for variables in a query window to set priorities for variables? Technically I mean. So if for one user the size is most important he would drag and drop it to the top of the list of attributes, if for another one the region is more important he could put this attribute to the top of the list.

Thanks Robert! Will check them out! ... View more

Thank you Mark! That helped! I thought I took the same headers as in the sample csv file but obviously I didn't. ... View more

For those who want to have a look at the issue: The map where the pictures show in the popup: http://arcg.is/24v9rYv And the app where only the thumbnails show:  http://esri-rw.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapTour/index.html?appid=b40b5d01e15948d5800262c2aaab8740 ... View more

Dear Marika, Thanks for your comment. The best would be that the plus button even disappears after the fourth crop was entered. You also don't have an idea where I could access this plus button, do you? ... View more

Let me share with you how I solved my tasks, maybe it will help one or the other person looking for similar problems: 1) to concatenate the values from two fields in a form, txtfarmer_id and txtplot_id and to write the new value in txtplot_ident: Dim objControl, objPage, plotId, plotIdent     Set objControl = ThisEvent.Object     Set objPage = ThisEvent.Object.Parent       plotId = objControl.Value       plotIdent = objPage.Controls("txtFarmer").Value + plotId       objPage.Controls("txtPlot_ident").Value = plotIdent     Set objControl = Nothing   Set objPage = Nothing I have put this on the onchange event of the second text field. Issue here is, when the first field is edited the "calculated" field does not change. But you could put (almost) the same script as onchange event in the first text field, too, to be on the safer side. 2) to hide/show a second comboBox (cboOther) depending on the selection in the first comboBox (cboMain). My script here is based on https://community.esri.com/thread/74367 Dim objPage, objControl Set objControl = ThisEvent.Object Set objPage = ThisEvent.Object.Parent   objPage.Controls("cboMain").Value = 0 objPage.Controls("cboOther").Value = 0 If objPage.Controls("cboMain").Value = 99 Then       objPage.Controls("Label2").Visible = True   objPage.Controls("cboOther").Visible = True ElseIf objPage.Controls("cboMain").Value < 99 Then   objPage.Controls("cboOther").Value = 8   objPage.Controls("Label2").Visible = False   objPage.Controls("cboOther").Visible = False End If Set objControl = Nothing Set objPage = Nothing Only when the last option (Value=99) is selected, the second comboBox shows up, including the leading text (Label2). This script is placed in the onselchange of the first comboBox. Maybe someone can shed some light on the difference between onchange and onselchange? Still working on some other issues... ...

Two more questions: 1) Can I write a value straight to the table instead of setting a form field to a certain value? Following scenario: I have a question that can be answered yes or no. If no is selected the next question can be skipped and N/A should be written to the table. Which leads me to my second question: 2) I can set the group property of an item to true. How can this help me? I was wondering if it could be of use when having a multiple choice answer for example. Can I give the group a name to make it and it's children accessible? And possibly count the selected items for example? Thanks for your comments! ... View more

Thanks for looking at it, Rebecca. I figured out in the meanwhile that I just have to remove the Sub... and End Sub to make the script to run. So the concatenate works already (can't test though if it's also written to the file but that should be enough for now). For making the combobox invisible I wasn't that successful yet unfortunately. I have tried it first in the onchange event but nothing happened when I changed the selection. So I tried with the onselchange event. At the moment it works quite ok: the second comboBox is disabled when in the first the selection with the value=96 is selected. Funnily in between only the values not the texts for the comboBox list items were shown but now it's fine. But I can't tell what I did differently now... That's the current status: Dim objPage, objControl Set objControl = ThisEvent.Object Set objPage = ThisEvent.Object.Parent      If objPage.Controls("cboMain").Value = 96 Then    objPage.Controls("cboOther").Enabled = False    objPage.Controls("cboOther").Value = 8 ElseIf objPage.Controls("cboMain").Value > 96 Then    objPage.Controls("cboOther").Enabled = True End If Set objControl = Nothing Set objPage = Nothing In fact I don't have an option anymore to convert my lists I have in excel to dbf but I helped myself by saving as csv, search+replace to make list items and then just put the whole list in the (xml) form. I have already some other requests I am trying to solve: My client has a TableForm (something I don't find in any help document for ArcPad). Unfortunately when I try to edit it via double click as I do with the EditForm ArcPad Studio crashes. So I helped myself with the xml view but of course this it not very handy. Has someone a hint how I can solve this? There are two tasks about this TableForm: 1) When adding a polygon first different data is entered through the EditForm before opening a related table (this is something my client figured out how to do, I have no clue...) where the user can add data through a new form that opens. So first question: in this table only maximum four entries should be possible. I assume I can do something with a loop but I didn't find the position yet - will keep you posted on this... 2) When adding a crop the user should enter a number (2-3 digits) and then the next field should automatically change to the crop name according the before typed crop number (e.g. 01 -> Maize). I thought if I put the names in a comboBox (values=numbers, text=names), look for the entered number and put the value back as output to the comboBox it should show the names but unfortunately it shows the value. Somehow comprehensible but I would be very happy if someone could tell me if (and how) I could show the text (names) instead. This is what I have so far: Dim objControl, objPage, cropId, cropName       Set objControl = ThisEvent.Object     Set objPage = ThisEvent.Object.Parent         cropId = objControl.Value        objPage.Controls("cboCropName").Value = cropId   Set objControl = Nothing   Set objPage = Nothing Is something possible like cropName=objPage.Controls("cboCropName").Value(cropId).Text objPage.Controls("cboCropName").Value = cropName ? The name should also end up in the table in the end if possible... ... View more

Thanks Rebecca, this code wasn't meant to be in the posting, don't know what happened... I removed it from the initial posting... ... View more
