- How does one go about taking data that has been entered in a group
- of objects in a window (say, 4 Forms, 1 Button, and 1 ScrollView) and
- saving them out to a file?
-
- My current almost-working solution is to use NXWriteRootObject() and
- a write method in a custom object that basically just does a [myWindow
- write:myStream]. Using this method, however, I can't seem to get it to
- use the correct filename...it uses the class name instead...?
-
- Would it be better to keep the data from the window in some sort of
- structure and using NXWriteType()?
-
- I s'pose listing my code might help, but my system isn't anywhere
- *near* a network, so I'd have to transcribe it by hand...
- Perhaps tomorrow I'll try that...
-
- Oh! And how the heck do you refer to individual Forms/FormCells
- within a Window? I can't seem to understand how to get the id's of these
- objects...I tried putting some id instance variables in my class, but I'm
- not sure how it might "automagically" attach the forms to the id's in
- my class (the Window id seems to do this?). This may be connected to
- my filename problem, as I'm using the StringValue from one of the Forms
- as my filename...or at least trying to...
-
- Help?!?
