I've recently joined a project that is going from chui to gui. I have 20+ years working with chui and only a smattering of gui, and what gui I have been exposed to was existing code that I modified. What I need is a simple example of a gui program that has two input fields and runs those codes against a table. I realize that this probably sounds petty to the gui experts but it would be really helpful to me. If there are manuals available that I could purchase or download that would give me a starting point. Firm I'm working with only has some custom code with great majority from a vendor that firm has no ability to get basic code from
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
DJ,
Here is a simple .w file created with the AppBuilder that accepts an integer value (Customer Number) and displays several fields from the sports2000 Customer table. It doesn't do any updating but could easily be modified to do that. Take a look at it.
Since you are coming from the CHUI world, one thing to be sure you do is to use the AppBuilder to create your GUI stuff (assuming you are not using GUI for .NET). It really makes things easier.

DJ, If you want to use your current techniques with GUI development, it is possible. Just create a window and everything else is pretty much the same.
It is not beautifull, but it is possible. Really suggest to use at least the Appbuilder to build some structured code.
