Hi,
I am looking for some help. I am trying to use a repeater to live update the repeater data, like a spreadsheet does, it reflects the value and is editable without extra interaction. This doesn’t currently seem possible. I have a row with 3 cols. I also what the ability to add rows. The interaction for the user is, one row is there, if you need a new row you click add a row. The cols should holding the current value and editable without the user needing to make an extra interaction, other than clicking the col (or cell).
I think that there might be an a limit here in Axure’s abilities because the repeater seems to expect it in two parts, a form you fill which adds new records and the data set which just views that data. This limits what you do, with ease. It then comes down to guessing the action and using other events to switch between input and view, to mimic the effect, when this should be built in.
I kind of had something working to mimic a spreadsheet where when you mouse enter the surrounding area the data would become editable then making either mouse out, ontextchange or lost of focus update the data, however this then removes the value from the input box by default, Axure is reseting this and the events I just listed don’t mimic correctly, for example loss of focus works only if the user switches focus which they may not.
It seems this isn’t really possible, anyone got any ideas?
To summerise I basically I want auto update (two way bound) fields with and add row button. I don’t want to have a form that you fill to add it to the data set, I want you to do that when you add data to a ‘cell’. I needs to work like a spreadsheet.
Thanks,
James
