Thank you Macromedia!

6 comments Posted by: Laura

We want to thank Macromedia for sending us an Amazon gift certificate for winning the "Best of Blackstone" contest during the CF 7 Beta. We were actually runners up, and besides the gift certificate we got our names in the ColdFusion administrator's "About" screen. That's cool!

The application that got us the prize was Advanced Steel's metal management system. In this application, we used several ColdFusion 7's new features:

Dynamic printable documents (PDF)
CFCHART improvements
Application Events
Rich forms using Flash

We've made a demo that does not require an account if you are interested in seeing a real world CF 7 application.

Outstanding! Very clean and with real-world applicability. Out of curiosity, why didn't you return the data using cfgrid?

Hi,
We did not use the cfgrid because we needed to format it a lot: group it in types with headers for each type, have a colored summary row at the end of each group and have a summary for all at the end of the report. We also wanted it to be easy to print (without needing to download the PDF). In addition, this report could potentially have hundreds of records, something the cfgrid (the flash version) has difficulty handling.

I had suspected as much once I actually used your app. Your last comment is the most disappointing. Have you run across a grid component for CF that can handle large amounts of data? (I have an app that typically returns 100-25k+ lines of data.)

I hope the gift certificate was substantial.

Do you know if the flex grid can handle large amounts of data ?

The CF grid is the same grid that Flex uses. If you try to load more than 2000 records you may experience some performance problems.

Hi,

I want to learn more about CFCHART as I want to develop a reporting system. Your demo here is very cool and most related to my project. By any chance, can I get the sample code? Or at least can you point me to any CFCHART articles for reporting purpose.

Thanks
