Great article Jon. I like the idea of the array for the data structure!
Much better than what I have been doing.
One other practice I have adopted with subfiles is to focus on making
them entirely mousable, which means no option field. Each subfile row
is 75 or 125 characters long and is populated with a datastructure with
the edited data to be displayed. The advantage is that each subfile row
can be a check box field (with no visible check box) and thus one can
select/unselect 1 to many rows then process each selected row, one
after the other. Because the option field options have been moved to
the details screen one can still process edit, copy, delete, and refresh
easily. Add filters, sortable columns, and a scroll bar and suddenly the
1980s green screen has modern function and patterns. Plus, once all
sorted out, it really is about as simple a complete subfile process as I
have ever seen.
Guess it's time to re-write my 2015 demo
