Hi All,
Im working on a project that allows the user to create there own
questionnaires. What I want to do is have a variety of different
question types available to choose from ( text, multiple choice,
single choice etc etc ). And each of these question types I would like
to have 2-3 ways of displaying it ( say its a text question, so we
have a text box and an associated image layout has the image on the
left hand side, layout 2 has it on the right ). So I would make it up
as a reusable component with a binding to say show type 1 or ype 2.
The bit Im unsure about is how to select what reusable component you
wish to use at run time. Let me explain. The user has decided to have
4 questions, a text based,a multiple choice and two text areas. I
guess I would then use a WORepition to cycle through the questions,
BUT how at run time do I determine that cause the first one is text
based I should use text filed component ? I guess I could just put
lots of conditional's in the repetition ( one for each question type )
and so the right question's component is shown.
Is that the best way of doing it ? Or is there a better way ?
Thanks
Owen
