How To Set A Hard Filter For BrowseDialog

Ben Kim — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 13:25:13 GMT

Hello,

Is there a way to set a "hard" filter for the BrowseDialog? For example, say we have a multi-department company. Based on security the current user can only see items for department 1 and only 1. Can I pass a filter or set a property that tells the BrowseDialog only to show entries for department 1?

Thanks!

Ben

Excellent Trent. It is something we use throughout our products (currently in Clarion) and a much needed feature to port the code. Ideas when it may be released?

No. This goes back to an enhancement request already in the queue. You can show and hide search fields and set the search values via code. However, if the field is not visible, it is not used within the search query. We are planning on making a change so that the "hidden" fields will still respect the search value provided by the developer.
