Ninox 3.13

Hello,

I just watched my first Nioxus webinar and am excited about the upcoming release. 

Is there a link to the official Ninox 3.13 presentation?

    Nioxus did a better presentation of the get/set function. Ninox is more focused on the UI customization changes.

       thanks, let's see how we should use these new get/set functions!

      I can already see a big change for my DB with the get/set function.

        when Andy mentioned the "Dynamic References" I though it has to do somehow with the References Fields but then I realised that we can dynamically refer to the name of any field!

      Let's say we have a text field with the name 'FIELD01', so far we can not do the following:

      let t := this;
      let x := "01";
      t.'FIELD + x' := "...."
      

      But now with the set() function we can do this:

      let t := this;
      let x := "01";
      let fieldName:= "FIELD" + x;
      set(t, fieldName, "....")
      

      Have I got it right?

      That is correct. You can use the plain language field name and Ninox will convert it to the Ninox field name on the fly.

    In computing terms this is called indirection and is super useful.

       The more I learn about programming, the deeper I want to go. In medical terms, this is called addiction!

    The example Nioxus gave is probably not too common, we know we shouldn't have too many fields that are labeled field01 and field02, etc. But it can be useful if you creating a dashboard that you want users to update a field and now you can have a user selection field that has the field names then a value field then a button that will update the proper field all without having to hard code each field name in a switch.

    Or in a for loop, you can create an array of field names for each table you want to update then just reference the array instead of hard coding the field names in a switch.

    I just checked and the Ninox webinar is still not up. You should see a link to watch.
