It does that using a small set of html input elements - 'text', 'textarea' and 'select', to be specific. The date picker is an example of how slightly more sophisticated GUI is incorporated. SynApp2 happens to do this automatically, as dates are essential to so many practical applications.</p> <p>It's quite amazing how far you can go with these basic building blocks wrapped around a normalized database structure.</p> <p>With experience and understanding, it is certainly possible to integrate any kind of specialized GUI to work with, or parallel to, the underlying framework. </p> <p>See SynApp2 Concepts, 2010-04-10, Page 46<br /> <a href="http://www.synapp2.org/documentation/SynApp2_Concepts.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.synapp2.org/documentation/SynApp2_Concepts.pdf</a></p> <p>The SynApp2 'application' pages that support the code generation use exactly the same framework as generated applications, and have custom GUI that incorporates 'radio' type input elements. So, it's absolutely possible to incorporate them in other areas too. It would just take understanding. That would come only with experience. As far as autocomplete goes, same story. But, I will suggest that the way SynApp2 deals with multi-table navigation is a ready, and perhaps better, alternative to autocomplete/autosuggest than I've seen implemented in a number of applications where 'lookups' are done in the course of filling out forms.</p> <p>The mission of SynApp2 is to get effective, useful database applications up and running quickly and reliably. There is necessarily some compromise.</p> <p>I always recommend that developers start with the database design that's going to make it possible to capture and report from the accumulated data - first. SynApp2 can get you working with a database design very quickly. SynApp2 is small, lightweight and can co-exist with nearly any other tools or frameworks that you may have or find useful. You don't have to make any hard choices or commit to use SynApp2 exclusively. If you're working with MySQL or Oracle, SynApp2 can and does provide great value.</p> <p>So, everything comes down to what your needs are. </p> http://www.synapp2.org/forum/topic.php?id=94#post-167 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 05:31:16 +0000 richard 167@http://www.synapp2.org/forum/ <p>I'm sorry to report that fighting off the spammers is more than I have time to deal with.</p> <p>Send me an email, or use the contact page if you'd like to join.</p> <p>Richard </p> http://www.synapp2.org/forum/topic.php?id=72#post-145 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 07:43:42 +0000 richard 145@http://www.synapp2.org/forum/ <p>Kudos to the Opera team for bringing the keyboard event handling in line with the rest of the pack. The most notable change is how PgUp / PgDn keys can now be captured by SynApp2 SELECT forms to page through database records, even in a small window with an active vertical scrollbar. </p> http://www.synapp2.org/forum/topic.php?id=69#post-142 Sun, 19 Jun 2011 16:44:15 +0000 richard 142@http://www.synapp2.org/forum/ <p>If you haven’t tried SynApp2 – now is the time.

I have a problem with displaying characters in the Polish language in UTF-8 charset. Synapp2 cuts accented characters when entering into the database from aplication. Entered directly into the database are not displayed correctly.<br /> Everywhere I set UTF-8: apache, php5, mysql database and mysql table.<br /> How to fix it?? </p>
