::Creating a simple
recipe function in 10 steps ::
Enter the "Data Tags"
Module.
Create an Integer array. One array will represent one recipe
ingredient.
Define the array size. This will be the number of
recipes.
Repeat step 2 and 3 for each
ingredient.
Create a variable integer representing the recipe
number.
In the "User Interface" Module, insert an integer
text.
In the primitive properties, enter the array name and index
variable.
Define the field as Data Entry so that you can modify the recipe ingredient
value.
Repeat step 7 and 8 to display each
ingredient.
Insert the tag RecipeNb so you can choose the recipe to display. Set the field as Data Entry.
This
example is now ready to use. Create recipes by changing values in
the ingredients for a defined recipe number. Altering the recipe number
will change the recipe being viewed.
