Solution Review: Layout Properties 3Posted by: Editor / Monday, August 25, 2008 – 4:14pm

After you've programmed the same thing over a hundred times (something we probably all do at some point), you finally figure out that making the solution more portable is the best way to go. Fortunately, a lot of things we do routinely, within a solution, can be made portable. The next question is whether you let go of the need/desire to code it yourself, and leverage something that's already been done by someone else. Of course, you have to learn the code which does what you desire (created by another developer), but this can often be a fraction of the time of coming up with it yourself. Back in 2007, I was presented with a technique which is one that I use today for any and all of my solution navigation - provided it's a larger, more complex solution. Watch this video about Layout Properties and you may discover that this might just be the best way to approach your solution navigation!

. I've emailed the vendor to suggest they offer a special discount while the video is in it's first week. I'll post on the article if they do make an offer. On the topic of a saved state upon login, this will be something that will be part of my Layout Manager tool. It's just not in there yet. But you would be able to rip it out for your own solution. http://www.filemakermagazine.com/videos/using-a-layout-manager.html . . Hello Pankey,.

Pricing
I would suggest that in the future, when you publish an exciting video advertising a perfect product and include the price in the video with a limited time that the regular price be included as well!
You guys had me sold on a fantastic product that was finally in a price range my tiny company could justify, until I found that the 99 Euro price expired a month before this video was published.
From the website:
"Purchase info
LayoutProperties is available here at 199€ VAT excl. and for a limited time (until July 17th 2008) at only 99€ VAT excl. Take advantage of this fabulous offer! "
Bummer.
Suggestion:
I would love to see you do a video on a method for user login state storage. In my solution I am trying to create an environment on a shared workstation (the total solution will not exceed three workstations) where I would like to encourage the staff/users to logout whenever they physically leave the workstation by having them return to the layouts and views at login as they were when they logged out.
