1) I'd like to be able to print, from a remote client, to a printer available to the server (for order entry/printing by both sales reps and customers).
We might be able to add something like this.
Quote:2) Tableview wordwrap: I'd like tableview to allow each line's row height to grow specific to the needs of the wordiest field in that line.
Again, pretty doable.
Quote:3) Tableview color coding: data color coded from field to field based upon criteria (this brand is red text, that brand is blue text). I was trying to do this a while back, and now I can't remember if it wasn't in there yet, or was in there but had a bug.
I believe Sesame2 can do this now. Look into the "On Draw" event.
Quote:4) Send Text messages
There are two ways to do this, one of which is already available in Sesame2. You can use a texting service. This is a web page with a form that accepts a short message and sends it out to a recipient's phone. Such services can also receive messages for subscribers. Sesame2 can use this sort of service using the HTTP commands in SBasic. The other way is to actually connect a phone to the computer and use it like a text message modem, by sending "AT" commands to the phone through its serial (USB) port. The phone then sends the message. In either case, there needs to be some way for Sesame to "talk" to the cell network.
Quote:5) Smart phone remote client ability
This is easily the hardest request you have requested. There are some small handheld devices that run intel compatible code for either Windows or Linux that will run Sesame, and may double as phones. In fact, a handful of people on this forum have such devices and have run Sesame on them, though I don't know if they are or can be used as phones.
Rewriting Sesame to run on iOS (which requires a rewrite into Objective-C) or on Android (which requires a rewrite in Java) is a goal I would love to take up, but it is very daunting. Perhaps a somewhat less functional mini-client may be pretty doable. Of course, with the free API and a fairly simple requirement set, getting Sesame data on an Android phone would be easy. And there are a number of VNC that allow you to "run" Sesame on your phone now, at least as far as the screen and keyboard are concerned.
