Looking for a Form Builder

Third Party

Looking for

  • A very basic form builder so that my client can make some forms up.
  • They then get filled by their clients.
  • I grab all the data and insert into a database.

I have a tool that is not WYSIWYG for VCL I may be able to tweak it to work on TMS Webcore. However, it would be nice for the client to move the components around with a mouse.

TMS Scripter comes to mind, they have a demo very much like a simplified Delphi IDE :slight_smile:

The below is from our NexusDB Enterprise Manager where we’ve built this in.

JVCL has integrated an excellent runtime form builder framework, originally called RxLib (from Andrei Prygunkov), and renamed RaLib.
Not only the form can be designed, the code behind too is interpreted at runtime.
So install JVCL and try this RaLib framework (jvcl/examples/RaLib).
Although the RaLib framework is unchanged for a long time, it could do the job.

Just to be clear, are you looking for a form builder that works with TMS Webcore or Delphi?

Think of the forms as pre-medical visit info gathering and consent granting. Its just for the aeronautical industry.

  • The form designer could work in either, as only one person in the organisation is going to be making the forms up. He could do it on his windows desktop.
  • But the filling by the client’s clients needs to be done on the web (or a fillable pdf that could be emailed)

For instance, even a PHP library would work fine. It could save the data to a temporary table. ANd I am proficient with PHP.

I have used Delphi webscript in previous projects, where the client could make their own forms. In practice, not a single one did. They always asked us to do it. But it meant that support people could do it.

I have looked at some online ones, but the majority want the client’s clients to create an account with them. The others a tad hazy in their description.
