N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Snap DB

Sorry to make you confused, I mean some bigger text box (not just one line text box) with 2 or 3 rows space and maybe with scroll button, like the one we see in Donation Coder forum when we post reply.. So if I put some long text I could simply scroll up and down to see all of my text.

The hesitation I have in doing this is it would give the impression that SnapDB can display multi-line bits of information (which it can't).  Saving and restoring mutil-line bits is easy enough but displaying them in a standard listview is not possible.

The problem is that the listview columns sort alpha by default and must be changed programmatically to sort in different ways e.g. numerically/integer.  The problem with dates is that they're neither.  You would almost need to have a separate column that kept YYYYMMDDHH24MISS timestamps to be able to sort dates properly.  All that being said, I have given some thought on how to allow configuration of sorting options on each column.  I just haven't come up with a good solution (yet).

Okay, got it, thanks.. 

I'm not sure what you mean by a comment box.  Do you have a screenshot of another app that uses one?

Hi skwire, really nice apps you have here.. Thanks for the good job. I've used snapDB for many types tables, including one with date type data and memo type data. 

However, I do have some questions / requests regarding snapDB. Is it possible if snapDB implement some kind of "sort by date" function? I sometimes need to sort my data based on date. And last, do you mind to provide any option to use comment box instead of text box to input/edit/read memo type data?
