Hello, I have started using Mendix since 1 and a half month , I have created a simple Training Management System application. Until now I have implemented basic features in it, and there are some questions that I have which I urgently need answers for since there is a presentation coming up. 1) As of my understanding, the HyperSQL is the Default DB provided by Mendix right? 2) Which DB does Mendix use as a Local Storage? 3) Where does the Mendix store its offline Data? For web apps as well as Mobile Apps. 4)How does Mendix support Device Communication -BLE,NFC? 5)Components Customizability? 6)How efficiently does Mendix supports B2C? 7)How is cloud Support in Mendix? some detailed explanation would help. Where does it deploy when I run the application. 8)How does Mendix support App store and Play store? What is the process for it. Any answers would be deeply appreciated . Thanks in Advance.

How to Update total Price after deleting one object in the list?
I'm facing an issue with updating the total price in Mendix after deleting an object from the list. Currently, when I remove an item from the list, the total price remains the same. However, I want the total price to reflect the updated list. What would be the best approach to achieve this in Mendix? Should I use a microflow or a different method? Any guidance or example would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Including Image Attribute in PDF Download
Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a feature in my Mendix application where users can download a PDF document containing information about processed claims. I've successfully implemented functionality to include text attributes such as ClaimNumber, PolicyNumber, UserName, and VINNumber in the PDF document. However, I'm facing challenges in including the Images attribute in the PDF. I'm unsure about the best approach to handle rendering images within the PDF document. Here's an overview of what I've done so far: I've retrieved the necessary data from my Mendix entity. I'm using the Mendix PDF module to generate the PDF document. For text attributes, I've replaced placeholders in the PDF template with the corresponding data successfully. Could anyone provide guidance on how to properly include the Images attribute in the PDF document? Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

How do I use Email connector in this case
Hello everyone, I am still a mendix newbie. I'll try to explain my question as best as I can. I've recently installed the Email Connector Module from the Marketplace, I set up a fakesmtp server and it works. Now, my question is this, I have a specific task I need to complete, I have a lists of tasks and you have to specify a state to each task. I have a button to either reject or accept it. They asked me to make a function that whenever you click the "accept" button, it'll be moved to the next state (for example: from in progress to development done) is this possible to accomplish, if so, how?

Open a File Explorer Window on Button-Click
I want to have a button inside my Mendix frontend that opens the users local file explorer with a certain path. I found some answers to that on the forum but they seem to be outdated. They are over 10 years old and I can not find the referenced functionality "External Link". With this functionality it is mentioned that putting in a link with the structure "file:///DriveLetter://Path" would work for my use case. Help would be appreciated! Just for Clarification: I do not want the user to select a file (would be easy via File Manager Widget).

Combo box with attribute from list and custom entry possible
Hi, I'm new to mendix and trying to understand the system better. What I'm trying to build is an order entry system where customer name is one of the attributes in the entity customer. The entity order holds all the attributes connected to this customer. I'm showing this on the order entry page with a combo box via xpath. This works and I can select a customer on this page. What I want is to add new customers as well in this combo box, ideally in the same box. I'm having trouble doing so and can't seem to find the answer here. Can someone tell me if this is possible at all or if I need to work in a different way. (perhaps via a Microflow?) I work in the latest Mendix studio Pro 10.0.8 Thanks!

WinCC OE - 2.1.0 - Multilanguage Switch Bug/Issue
Hi We have a commitment to provide multiple languages for a project in WinCC Unified (v2.1.0) on Industrial Edge. I have done everything i think is correct- activated the second language on Online Engineering, added translated text to Text & Graphics (in Languages and Resources), and used the Data Language switcher to try to edit labels and other text in a dashboard in different languages. HOWEVER, it seems that when i add text in a second language, WinCC only saves one and not the other. So when i switch the language at runtime, or if i close the screen in re-open, one of the language labels simply disappears and is blank. I am certain the language switching to the correct LCID is working. here is an example: LCID=1043 (nl-NL) LCID=1033 (en-US): The same happens in online engineering even if i have changed the text of the button in both en-US and nl-NL data languages. i close the screen and re-open, and one of them mysteriously disappears. Please, if someone else has had an issue like this, can you please help, it is a major requirement for our client.. Thank you Brij DI PA SW

User & Account Inheritance vs. Association in Mendix 2024
Hi all, So I have been doing bit of reading on the matter in the title, and I can't seem to grasp what the conlusions really are in the present time. I often see conflicting explanations to the same question, so I'd like to re-state this question and make sure we have an update on its conclusions in 2024. I have encountered the below statement in the Academy material: However, in many occasions I see that the Account entity is inheriting from the User entity by default in Mendix modules - such as the Adminisration module. I also sometimes see that the Account entity is being used as a Generalization instead of a new entity being associated with it. This all kind of conflicts with the statement in the screenshot above. In my opinion it sounds more logical to create a new entity and associate it to the Account entity rather than inheriting from either User or Account entities, however I'm no longer sure about this. Could someone please explain to me what the most common and correct way of using these two entities is in 2024? Thanks in advance!

Building an Event App Using Microflows - Error when creating ProgramItem
Hi All, I just went through the course and my app as well as the EventManagement_AfterModule5 App run into an error when a ProgramItem is created. Unfortuantely I can't find the source for that. To generate the error a demo User for the EventManager was created. And all additional Entities (Artist, Stage, Festival...) have been used to create an object of each. Two Error lines are added in the Studio's Console. Connector: An error has occurred while handling the request. [User 'demo_eventmanager' with session id '743701c7-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXe7b2' and roles 'EventManager'] Cilent: An error occurred while executing an action of EventManagement.ProgramItem_NewEdit.actionButton1: Internal server error Error: An error occurred while executing an action of EventManagement.ProgramItem_NewEdit.actionButton1: Internal server error at http://localhost:8080/mxclientsystem/mxui/mxui.js?638445434502144188:66:184436 at ye (http://localhost:8080/mxclientsystem/mxui/mxui.js?638445434502144188:24:6830) at i (http://localhost:8080/mxclientsystem/mxui/mxui.js?638445434502144188:24:6731) at E (http://localhost:8080/mxclientsystem/mxui/mxui.js?638445434502144188:64:5069)

Chat application (WebChatUI module)
Hello, To build a chat Application in Mendix I have used WebChat UI module. And for the chat_overview page I am using a pre build page from that module. In the javascript snippet it is passing the input by the classname of the input field , in my case it is a speech to text widget. Code: Now I want to use File manager widget as an input field to send the files, But there are multiple classes as you can see in the following picture. I am not sure which one to use. Also Can I write the code in the same format I used for Input Field? Although I tried writing the code in the same format with 'mx-fileinput..' class. But after browsing files it is sending blank messages. Would anyone be able to provide any solutions ? Thanks in Advance

Using Regex matches in Microflow
Hi all, In the string functions we have IsMatch for evaluating regexes against a string and retrieving a boolean. However, now I have a use case in which I need the match value itself. Is there a way to apply this in Mendix without building a java action? Is there a proven marketplace module which can help? Thanks for your help. Peter
