Hi George, Thanks for the question. We are aware of the presentation issue on certain versions of Android, and we are working to fix that before the UC. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi David (and everyone else), Yes you can definitely use Python with ArcPad. There are some limitations to it though, not all of the object model is supported and you can only use python on Windows PC. I have a machine currently running Python 2.7 and ArcPad 10.2.1 and all is good. You may have needed to install Python first and then ArcPad so it can find the folder locations. ... View more

Hi, This is a known limitation of the platform: Investigation of this issue shows that folders on Windows Mobile 6.0 and Windows Mobile 6.5.3 cannot hold more than 1000 files with the same filename prefix. This is mostly likely a limit of the WinCE 5. If you change the prefix you should be fine. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Laura, Sorry its been a while since my last reply. How are you going with this? I just wrote on your other forum question hopefully answering this one too. Let me know how you are getting on. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Matthieu, Could you provide a bit more information? What version of ArcPad are you using? Are you just using out of the box tools? What sort of data are you using SHP or AXF? Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Scott, You could either use a script and collect a point when the GPS.OnPosition event fires, or you could use a timer event and be specific about its time. I hope this helps. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Laura, The current implementation of ArcPad doesn't allow you to edit the related table like this, unless you want to do a severe (non UI) work around. The simplest approach is to always activate the related table form (TABLEFORM) and then you can run your script while on the page. The related form is nested inside the layers form, like those russian dolls, so you must open one to get to the other. If you go down this approach you can use the ThisEvent.Object to get the reference of the TableForm and you can traverse the pages from there. e.g. When you open the related table form: Use the Page OnSetActive event > myRelForm = ThisEvent.Object.Parent Then you can traverse the pages - ThisEvent.Object.Parent.Pages(...) I hope this doesn''t muddy the waters too much. Let me know how you go. Cheers, Gareth The non UI approach is to use the layer DataSource object and update the underlying related table using SQL. This method has to update the AXF_ columns in the dataset as well. ... View more

Hi Garrett, You need to put your layer name in double quotes - "LeakInspection". The example is passing an integer where you want to pass a text string as the reference. The way you have it written, the script is actually looking for a variable called LeakInspection. That should get you over the line. I hope this helps. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi, You could use the timer event and set it the refresh to the timer. sub myTimer Application.Timer.Enabled = true Application.Timer.Interval = 60000 'In Milliseconds End Sub Now attach this to the timer event within an applet (.apa) or your configuration file (arcpad.apx) Sub timerRefresh Map.Refresh End Sub Let me know how you go. Cheers, ... View more

Hi Michael, The first approach I would suggest is to use the FIND tool or even a QUERY PAGE to select the correct feature and then you can open the form of the selected point. As as first cut, I hope this helps. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Jake, There is a gp tool called QuickProject to Geodatabase. This will take all of the shapefiles in one folder and create a new personal or file geodatabase for you. The Key is in the data manager. When you check out the featureclasses from the GDB in ArcMap, you want to use your original APL as a template [ATTACH=CONFIG]23400[/ATTACH] and you should be good to go. Let me know how you go.

Hi Laura, You can find the Riverside sample in your Public documents folder called ArcPad\Samples\Riverside. The Poles layer shows how to use related tables for inspections. For the ID, I suggest you have a look at the new ArcPad 10.2 Beta at the betacommunity.esri.com/home.html. We know that a lot of people want to have their own unique ID's so we have built a new component called QuickFields and the Expression Builder. You can set a unique id to your field by selecting Unique ID from the list of options.  As this is version is still in beta, feel free to comment and suggest changes. Most of what of you after seems to be out of the box functionality which should be good news. As long as you have structured it well to begin with in ArcGIS for Desktop in the geodatabase. Try all that and let me know how you go. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Kwanthar, I wrote a sample a while back doing this - http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a5e11ba4a4d04b4a8f84757911ceb413 Download, and copy and edit to your needs. I hope this helps. Cheers, Gareth ... View more
