I was going to port my C&G 4250 code over to QNX with the inclusion of a Graphical User Interface for Photon using PhAB. I then had a change of mind and decided to port it over to Linux, still including a GUI this time using KDevelop and Qt Designer.

  This is an updated much improved version of my 4250 Project code for City & Guilds. The 4250 project was to design, write and produce full documentation for a suite of 7 programs. These programs implemented a batch transaction system, and were used at the command line with no Graphical User Interface. This project will incorporate all the functionality of the 7 programs and also address the limitations of the complete project. It is also designed around a Graphical User Interface for ease of use. This project has nothing to do with the City and Guilds project, it was used to give me something to do while learning how to code a GUI application for Linux.

  There are various screens shots available for this project (v0.3), links to each are provided below :-

Well I got some time to implement the Cancel button on all of the tabs. I now clear the contents of the various input widgets when the user changes the type of transaction on that page. Replaced the text input boxes with combo boxes for the Customer Code and Part Number on all tabs. The editable state of the combo boxes is changed depending upon the type of transaction selected. Well didn't do too bad tonight, lets hope for another good night soon.
