Create/add widgets through database

General Discussion
#1

Is it possible to make a floating widget app like “Interactive Museum Exhibit”(museum.pma) with the ability to add widgets through the database?

Or maybe how to add widgets to the compiled application without editing project in Flipabit editor?

You cannot dynamically create widgets. Although you can change the contents (text, image, video, etc.) of existing widgets using the database.

  1. Create database
    image

  2. Add widgets and connect to the created database

  3. Update widgets when the table index has changed

See the example database_images.pma (18.2 KB)

Ok, thanks for the support!!!))) If I cannot dynamically create widgets, maybe I can for example: make 100 widgets and hide them if they are empty, and when I add one picture to the database - one widget becomes visible.

Yes. It will work.

If you describe your task in more detail, I will be able to find an appropriate example.

This is the same Desktop app like the “Interactive Museum Exhibit”(museum.pma), in floating widgets, there will be old scanned letters with a text description, also in the future, client need to have the ability to add more scanned letters and add a description to them.

And I don’t really need to make a database to read photos, it would be great if the application could read photos from a folder nearby.
