Sorry for the question, Ian... but once you entered the BrowseDialog, did you click the Search button?

Yep.

I had to comment out the code from CustomerBrowseDetails to get it to work, that was the original code in the sample. When you run the browse you are seeing the actual names and not just blank rows?

Great, we are getting there. Your issue now seems to be with your CustomerBrowseDetails InformationPanel.

You are dealing with its RowChanged event, you are on the right path there, but remember you are not dealing with the Customers BO at this moment, but with the view instead. You can use the current view row PK to go to the Customers table and get the info you are looking for, though. For the sake of making your BrowseDialog work first and get the idea of it, try to comment those lines and focus on getting the BD work and populate your form's primary BO with the rows from your BD results. I did it over here and the BD list populated just fine from the view.

Thanks for looking at it. It is working in that the browse window opens and when I do a search it says 1000 records found but no results are displayed but the rows are there in the grid.

OK, some considerations:

You mapped your view to Customer_poBO, which is fine, and the cust_pk is been returned, perfect.

Your Customer_poBO has a fill method selecting records from the Customers table, I guess it should be from your Customer_po view. Although you won't need to fill this BO to have it working with the BrowseDialog. The BrowseDialog will fill it with the results it gets depending on your search criteria.

Your form has the CustomersBO1 as the PrimaryBusinessObject and your controls are bound to this BO properties. This is just fine.

But then, your BrowseDialog has the Customer_poBO1 as the BusinessObjectToPopulate. This is not a problem, but once your BrowseDialog brings your search results, this is the BO that will be populated, and not your form's BO, CustomersBO1.

Still on your BrowseDialog, you haven't set the SearchFields, and this will definetely throw an error at run time. You need to set them:

Once you get this working, you will have your Customer_poBO1 populated as soon as you Close the BrowseDialog after having your search results listed and pressing OK. At this stage, you need to use the BrowseDialogClosed event as I have tried to show you earlier on this following post:

http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost20493.aspx

Why that? Because your results will have the Customer's PKs that you want to show on your form, so you need to get all the PKs from your populated view and fill your form's primary BO with the records that match this list of PKs from your view.

There might be some concepts you could be missing on how the BrowseDialog works. If you haven't done so, the Tutorial on the Help files could help you get a general idea of it. It is under "Application Framework / Getting Started / Tutorials / Creating a WinForms App"

Hope it helps.
