I downloaded and installed v_1.7.0.2 and it works great. I'd been setting all my view specific fields in code since I was never sure exactly what the designer was doing. Thanks for the fix

No problem....I have a list of other things that you have requested that will most likely make it into a near point release as well. If you were using the override features this was a bit annoying....so it was higher on the list!

Trent -



Installed the 1.7.0.2 update; no change (not that we expected any). I will work on setting up the StrataFlix database and testing the sample application this evening.



In the meanwhile it occurred to me that throughout this I have never posted the exception details, so I am including it here fwiw.



Thanks.

Ahhh...you are trying to put the column in the results, not the search!

There is a new property called IgnoreTableMappingAndIncludeAllFieldsInResults (or something like that) on the BrowseDialog that will include any column that is part of the overriding table as part of the search results.

I had been concerned that we were mixing Cowboys and Giants ) Thanks for the tip... the Company Name now appears in the BD's listivew... love it. Still have the "empty" DropDowns in the Search dialog for any search field that is a view-only (i.e., not part of the real BO), but I will try to not worry about that too much unless it creates a problem. (Maybe just a bit concerned as it seems to deviate from expected behavior).

Have you downloaded 1.7.0.2 and then gone back into the editor to set the initial value? I fixed this in the most recent build to prevent this from happening.

Trent -



I assume you mean set the default Search Style (not the Initial Search Value). That being the case, then yes (installed 1.7.0.2), and yes (went back into the dialogs and set the Search Style).



One of the things I had not done, however, was to change the Search Styles to something other than the default Equals (because, well, I wanted Equals to be the default). Doing that now (e.g., setting Search Styles to Begins With) resolves the "empty" DropDown Listbox issue. I think I can live with that, but let me know if you need additional information from me to troubleshoot this in case there's a tweak that's needed).



Thanks.

Yeah, sorry. It sounds like you went back in and did what I was suggesting anyway even through my poor post. Let me know if you have any other issues.

No worries... it's all good.
