[Cppcms-users] Loading data into forms

[<ele...@ex...>]

Hi,

I've just recently started experimenting with cppcms and so far I quite
like it. (thanks!)

I've been studying the message board code in the examples section to get
my head around things and at the same time developing a simple blog
application.

My question is this - what is the best way to load data from database into
a typical edit form, make it available for user to edit and submit
changes?

One way I think I could do it is simply cpdbb::result >> user.id >>
user.name >> user.title etc and then copy the values into the members of
the form struct.

Is this the preferred way or is there another?

Should this be done in the controller or elsewhere?

Thanks,
Petr
