Question

transformer (Interface) and forms and microflows

0

Is it possible by means of a transformer (interface) to create automatically user interface objects (forms, reports) in a Mendix model. If Yes, what are the conditions, constraints, where can I find some documentation, etc. If No, are there possibilities to create such an interface.

I probably do not understand the question correctly, but there are a LOT of (auto)create options in Mendix that will generate screens from objects....

Is that what you are asking?

Hi Lex,

We specify (meta)models with a tool created with Mendx. We want to transform these models again to Mendix but now on the 'normal' Mendix level. So we use Mendix on two levels. I hope you understand what I mean.

You can take a look at the questionnaire module (Mendix 4). In Mendix 5 you can create a listview contains a table with all possible editors in a row. The conditional visibility is based on the type. More elegant is widget that creates other widgets based on the type, but that widget is not ready yet, I am working on it.

Conditions can be modelled with a dependency/depency instance entities and an extra visible attribute, which is recalculated when required.

Hi lex and Chris,

What I mean is : we want to import into Mendix an complete (external) specified model. This specified model must be transferred into a Mendix model including the generation of screens, microflows, etc.
