Microsoft Access has powerful VBA forms allowing many tasks to be performed. Kexi forms are limited to data-bindings and macro execution. To have something as powerful as VBA it is preferential to not re-invent the wheel. QtQuick provides a extensible set of basic components, and a pwoerful scripting language that can be extended with application specific functionality.
QtQuick forms in Kexi will give us a powerful framework for allowing the user to build complex and fluid forms, backed by javascript scripting and kexi specific bindings.
Constraints:
- Qt Quick-based forms do not replace QWidget-based forms but complement them.
- They are not interchangeable and probably cannot be combined (except one can be opened using "open" action).
Use cases
- Menu system/navigation
- Data Entry
- Data based application development using kexi locked-down mode
