However, if you have a BrowseInformationPanel in the browse dialog, you can actually get to the entire form from there including the fields. There is a property called "this.BrowseDialogWindowReference" that will give you a direct reference to the dialog. At that point, you can get to pretty much anything you want.

I did have to make a small change into the BrowseDialog source code, since the OK button wouldn't trigger the SearchValueChanged for the control that had the last focus, being this a search field. What I did was to create a text control in the BD form and I move the focus to it and then back to where it was when the OK is pressed. This is what I do in the SearchValueChanged: Private Sub YourBrowseDialog_SearchValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.BrowseDialogSearchValueChangedEventArgs) _ Handles Me.SearchValueChanged '-- check if a combo was chosen If e.SourceSearchField.Key.Equals("YourComboValueField") '-- Establish locals Dim yourInteger as Integer '-- get the value yourInteger = CType(CType(e.SourceControl, ComboBox).SelectedValue, Integer) '-- do whatever needed End If '-- check if a Text was chosen If e.SourceSearchField.Key = "YourTextField" Then '-- Establish locals Dim yourText As String '-- get your text yourText = e.SourceControl.Text End If '-- and so on... End Sub
