I would like to make an app similar to a to do task list and a finished task list.  One where you can slide a button from to do list to complete list.  Also be able to slide back to the todo list if needed.  I have read the start up and do not know what section I should play around in next.  Any info would be appreciated.

Perhaps the easiest approach is to use two Listboxes, one for the To-Do and one for the Finished task list.
You could use a button to move a highlighted or selected row between listboxes or perhaps just a double-click on a  listbox's row.

Listboxes are covered in the Language Reference chapter 10 on Control Types.
HN's in-built help also has information on Listboxes - accessible from its Guide menu.


Here are some forum posts on list boxes:-

Note, the QuickStart PDF might help you make sense of this.


Here is some simple code to setup two list boxes
Create a new project and then use the Creator Toolbar to create two listboxes and one button.

Then place the script below in the button to build your listboxes.
Note, I used Global variables so you can easily access them in other procedures or other controls etc.
The script would normnally be placed in the Card's open event.


@ To Do listbox
Global nrows1,ncols1

@ Finished listbox
Global nrows2,ncols2

@ Build listbox 1
Put 10 into nrows1
Put 3 into ncols1
ListBoxBuild(1,nrows1,ncols1)
ListBoxSetHeading(1,1,'TO DO')
ListBoxSetHeading(1,2,'Info 1')
ListBoxSetHeading(1,3,'Info 2')

@ Build list box 2
Put 2 into nrows2
Put 3 into ncols2
ListBoxBuild(2,nrows2,ncols2)
ListBoxSetHeading(2,1,'FINISHED')
ListBoxSetHeading(2,2,'Info 2')
ListBoxSetHeading(2,3,'Info 2')
You could then experiment with various Listbox functions for setting cell values, moving from one list to another etc.
The easiest way to do this is to use a button for each listbox function you are testing.


By the way, if you don't like the look of listboxes then you could make your own using a Canvas control.
Canvas controls are much more work but their graphics are prettier.

Here are very brief details of HN 4.2 progress for May 2022.


(1) HyperNext Studio v4.2 for Windows
 - New Save/Load is now independent from bought commercial plugins,
    - encrypt and decrypt are now working and the module imported into project.
    - now replacing and testing save/load routines.
    HN 4.2 will be the last version to load older projects.

 v4.2 for Windows can be released once these above issues are resolved and it is fully tested.


The aim is to get HN v4.2  out for both Windows and then older OS  X systems.
Then move onto HN v4.3 using an even newer RB compiler.
Eventually ending up on Windows plus latest Mac OS and Ubuntu etc.
 

Here are very brief details of HN 4.2 progress for March 2022.


(1) HyperNext Studio v4.2 for Windows

Conversion of EditFields to either TextFields or TextAreas:-
 - Runtime engine and its Run window now finished.
   Preliminary testing shows no bugs.
 - Started work on improving arrays by adding extra search functions.


In April will work on the following:-
 -  bugs caused by movement to new RB compiler etc:-
     - In HN Creator, Preview mode causes the project to Run instead of just Previewing the card.
     - editing a Control such as button, field etc makes it invisible at Runtime.
 - a new Save/Load independent from bought commercial plugins,
    HN 4.2 will be the last version to load older projects.
    This code can be used in HN 5 so it will then be able to load HN 4.2 projects.
 

The aim is to get HN v4.2  out for both Windows and older OS  X systems.
Then move onto HN v4.3 using an even newer RB compiler.
Eventually ending up on Windows plus latest Mac OS and Ubuntu etc.
 


2) HyperNext v5 work  in progress

Still implementing the single line and multi-line EditFields in the Runtime engine.
These can now be implemented as the RB code is now working so allowing a common code base to be used.

The aim is to get this working on the Windows platform first.

Here are very brief details of HN progress for January 2022.


(1) HyperNext Studio v4.x for Windows

Moved from RB 2008-R1 compiler to RB 2009-R3.

Already some noticeable speed improvements
 - the 30+ second startup delay on splash window has now gone to virtually zero.

Made updates to
 - Special Folders such as Documents etc.
 - Cursors.
 - SQL database.

Now working on
 - file paths.
 - converting 6 types of EditFields to TextFields or TextAreas.

The aim is to get HN v4.2  out for both Windows and older OS  X systems.
Then move onto HN v4.3 using an even newer RB compiler.
Eventually ending up on Windows plus latest Mac OS and Ubuntu.
 


2) HyperNext v5 work  in progress

Still implementing the single line and multi-line EditFields in the Runtime engine.
