This has been done automatically somehow by the wizard in all the controls it has created. But I do not know how to replicate, and it should be trivial.
Somebody knows?
Wish I could help. I always just ended up writing in php and using a html/js/ajax solution (ever since mysql workbench changed). I always found connectors more frustrating to learn than just learning mysql or php, etc.. (though those were not without their frustrations) Many like yours -- poor documentation (except for the MySQL docs -- can't really complain there)
Now LibreOffice talks to MySQL "natively", doesn't need a connector, but they are also there if you want.
But, bad news, your on-line book-seller dream has already been taken. This little company named after a South American river (biggest by volume in the world) stole your idea!
But seriously, I see Autor 1 (Isaac Asimov), but what I don't understand is what control you are referring to, or how Autor 1 should move as a single object?
Autor_1 (or similar) is a field in one of your MySQL tables that you display at that location on the form. What is it that you consider the single object? (the form-field with it's attribute that links the Autor_1 table-field with it?)
Autor 1 <------ label +---------------+ | | <-- text box containing the autor | | +---------------+ Both label and box should be one joined or group entity. When I click on one in the designer, both should select as one and move as one, as it happens with the boxes/labels created by the wizard. Like the label "Autor" and its box below it. All the grey boxes were created by the wizard, and the whites ones by me. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
