Browse dialog

Chan — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 10:13:05 GMT

Hi,
I have how-to questions on browse dialog:-

1. I need to allow user to specify search value on a field which doesn't exist in search BO. Then in searching event, I would add new condition to WHERE clause based on this value. Is it possible? How?

2. I want to use custom control as search field input in browse dialog. Possible? How?

Thank you

Hi,
If I want to add condition like this, how?

myCustomFIeld IN (SELECT MyField FROM myTable2)

Thank you

Yup. Look at the advanced BrowseDialog sample and the docs in the 1.6.5 release to see how to handle the Searching event. Just create a custom field in the BO to which the search field is attached, then adjust the query through the Searching event of the BrowseDialog when executed.

Not possible at present. We dynamically create the controls so that we know how to deal with them. So if you need to have custom controls as the search fields you may have to create your own browse. Sorry. :ermm:
