Have the Strataframe Combo Box dropped on form. have set to Business Object and specified the method to populate. When I run, and click on Combo, I get blanks in the Combobox. I think it is displaying the records (just showing Blaknks) but not showing the required fields. I have put two field names into the MultiColumn Column property but must be missing somnething ....Wed, 28 May 2008 09:44:57 GMTGer Cannollhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost16656.aspxYou don't need to worry about the Items collection. This is what you'd use to fill the combo manually, rather than using SF to fill it for you. <br> <br> I'd look into three other things:<br> - Did you setup the PopulationDataSourceSettings correctly? You need to set the Display Member Format String (indicating what is displayed when the drop down is closed) and the Drop-Down Display Format String (indicating what is displayed when the combo is opened). <br> - Did you set the ColumnSeparator property? The ColumnSeparator should match the character used in the Drop-DownDisplay Format String (e.g. if you set this to "{0}|{1}", then the ColumnSeparator would be "|").<br> - Have you checked that the Fill method is really filling the BO as you expect?<br> <br> To check the last, set a break after the FillDataTable call and use the data table visualizer to check that the data is being returned correctly. <br> <br> Check out the Multicolumn sample provided with the SF install also. It pretty clearly shows how to use this feature.Wed, 28 May 2008 09:44:57 GMTGreg McGuffeyhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost16653.aspxHi Greg</P><P>Yes, I have the MultiColumn proerty set. </P><P>Is the columns collection the only property I need to fill to tell it the fields ?</P><P>There also a property called Item, whicj is highlighted with Collection...but have not put anything inot it.Wed, 28 May 2008 09:14:58 GMTGer Cannollhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost16641.aspxDid you set the property on the combo that tells it to use multi columns (UseMultiColumns)?Tue, 27 May 2008 17:49:29 GMTGreg McGuffey
