Hi Trent,



I am working on a form in which I have the need to create a feature to assign a record to a "Category" in the same easy and elegant way implemented in the SF Messaging Editor (see image attached).



I don't want to create another lookup table to handle the Categories, so would you mind explaining how you guys did it in the Messaging Editor?



Thanks!

Great, it is in fact simple.



One more question, in the Tree shortcut menu there is an option to "Rename" the categories, I guess in your case you will just filter out the BO for this category and rename them all in a one pass, right? or is there another more efficient trick?

Edhy Rijo

Actually I created a sproc to update all of the categories at once then I reload the BO. That way there are fewer changes and queries going back and forth. I did it as you had mentioned originally, but it was so slow the larger the project became that I did it in a single query, requeried, then set the index back on the changed item.

Understood! thanks again

No problem

I have setup my combobox and get the data OK, but if I type in the Category instead of selecting from the combobox it does not persist and is never saved. In other words, I cannot enter any value in the combobox.



What am I missing?

Here are some screenshots.

Change the binding property to Text instead of the SelectedValue. Bet that is your problem

Thanks again Trent, that was the problem. Still learning new stuff every day!
