Let’s see what news are introduced with november update of creator kit. If you don’t know what Creator Kit is, you can read my article here.

New Features

Have been introduced 2 new (in preview) components, SubwayNav and SpinButton:

Let’s see a basic introduction to use these controls.

SubwayNav

You can use this control to show a wizard steps in our application. Let’s understand how can we use it. When you add it on your app, you should see something this:

We should set some properties:

Items

Set a Table , with these attributes:

• ItemKey: Key of item
• ItemLabel: A Display Name of item
• ItemState: Icon of the step, it could be one of: “Current”, “Completed”, “Unsaved”, “ViewedNotCompleted”, “Error” , “WizardComplete”

Accourding to source code, try to put this on Items propertie:

Table(
    {
        ItemKey: "1",
        ItemLabel: "Step 1",
        ItemState: "Current"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "2",
        ItemLabel: "Step 2",
        ItemState: "Completed"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "3",
        ItemLabel: "Step 3",
        ItemState: "Unsaved"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "4",
        ItemLabel: "Step 4",
        ItemState: "ViewedNotCompleted"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "5",
        ItemLabel: "Step 5",
        ItemState: "Error"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "6",
        ItemLabel: "Step 6",
        ItemState: "WizardComplete"
    }
)

You should see this result:

If you don’t want specify ItemState , you can set empty string (ItemState: “”) , and you’ll see an empty white dot.

OnSelect

You can use OnSelect to get selected item and change page to show next step of your wizard. Just to understand , in this case I saved selected step on variable (Is just an example, you can use Controlname.Selected insted):

UpdateContext({SeletectStep: Self.Selected})

And on label:

SeletectStep.ItemLabel

Results:

Other useful properties are:

• Theme : Property to set Json theme on controls, as you can see also in others controls of creator Kit. I usually set it when my application starts, and set it on all controls of Creator Kit who support it.
• Subway Nav State: Property to set state on entire controls. You can choose from: “None”, “Errors”, “WizardComplete”

SpinButton

A spin button is control to allow to add number in small steps. When you add control you should see this:

Principal properties:

• Label: Usefull to show a label of control.
• Suffix: To add suffix after value.
• Theme: As usual, Json theme.
• Min: Minimal value to set.
• Max: Maximun value to set.
• Step: Value to add or Subtracts.

Le’t see an example, I set these properties:
