saving control choices on each card

[bdtrauma]

This might have already been discussed, but I am working on a program to do history and physicals on the iPad. Each card has many checkboxes. I'd like to be able to open and close the app with the choices saved somehow. It looks like I have to write a routine to store the status of each checkbox for each card for it to work on mobile devices? ...am I correct or is there an easier way. I'd love to use the save stack, but I don't think that works on the mobile devices.

Any help as usual is very much appreciated. I love this forum... reminds me of the old hypercard days.

Hi Bert,

Yes, you have to save the hilite of each checkbox to a separate file. A simple text file should suffice.

Kind regards,

Hi Bert,

maybe my last newsletter article may help you in doing so:

Great example. I will try this. Does 4.5.3 (when it comes out) save the content of each card in the stack.

You're welcome

??? Standalone cannot save themselves EVER! Is that what you mean?

Or do you mean the things discussed in the "Database for iPhone" thread? Then the answer is yes

Klaus,

When I click on the example stack it looks like it tries to download it (i see my progress bar on the download folder start zipping across) but no file ends up in my download folder? Not sure if it is my Mac? Do you have another link for it?

Thanks,

Bert

Hi Bert,

just tested and it downloaded fine on my Mac!?

I can send the file to you via mail, if you like.
